Old version

Agent on Windows systems

Zabbix agent on Windows runs as a Windows service.

Preparation

Zabbix agent is distributed as a zip archive. After you download the archive you need to unpack it. Choose any folder to store Zabbix agent and the configuration file, e. g.

C:\zabbix

Copy bin\zabbix_agentd.exe and conf\zabbix_agentd.conf files to c:\zabbix.

Edit the c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf file to your needs, making sure to specify a correct “Hostname” parameter.

Installation

After this is done use the following command to install Zabbix agent as Windows service:

C:\> c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.exe -c c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf -i

Download the Windows agent from url https://www.zabbix.com/download_agents

Copy it to Windows C drive.

After download, extract the ZIP file, then [bin] and [conf] folder exist like follows. Copy [zabbix_agentd.conf] which is under the [conf] and also copy 3 [exe] files which are under the [bin] folder into a folder which you’d like to locate them.
