Zabbix Agent Installation on Windows Server 2012 R2

[shoong]

Hi Guys,

• Zabbix Server 2.4.2
• CentOS 6.5

After installing the agent and trying to start the service I get an error: the process terminated unexpectedly. I looked at the ports but 10050 doesn't seem to be listed and/or in use.

I have done the following:

• Made sure hostname on both ends match
• Configured all IPs where they need to be configured
• Added firewall exception rules (to allow traffic from ports 10050-10051)

Also, does anyone know of a good Zabbix Agent Installation Guide for Windows Server 2012R2?

Make sure you have x64 zabbix agent.
I have my setup in C:\zabbix and there is where I copy the content of win64 folder.
Then edit my zabbix_agentd.conf and make the necessary changes.
After, I start a CMD as Administrator:
cd c:\zabbix
zabbix_agentd.exe --config c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf --start

Installing as a Service?

I copied the folder (Zabbix Agent) containing all agent files into 'Program Files'. Then open a command prompt as Administrator and run the following:

cd C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent

Configure the service:

zabbix_agentd.exe --config zabbix_agentd.conf --install

Start the service:

sc start "Zabbix Agent"

Works for me so far. I with there was a good .msi I could just push out with SCCM, but I have not found one. They all seem to crash with some error I don't remember at the moment.

Good luck!
