For those who want to automize installation process via GPO, you'll need a tool called Orca (part of Winsdk kit), and then you can create .mst file for .msi, which may have some parameters for silent install of .msi via GPO (for example Server name/address, TLS identity and key, etc). Full list of parameters can be found in zabbix documentation ("Windows agent installation from MSI").
i need an up-to-date guide how to do a silent installation of zabbix agent (so that i could install it on multiple hosts at once by using Chef or Ansible)
Hi all! first thank you Sir for the tutorial ! I only have one question though : does zabbix agent have a significant impact on performance of a gaming windows pc for example? I've been thinking of adding my main gaming machine to be monitored . Thank you all in advance!
It would be great to someday see support in Zabbix for monitoring parameters such as CPU frequency, its temperature, voltage, fan speed, and much more, but with the native tools of Zabbix itself. (for windows hosts of course)
@@zabbixtraining unfortunately for some reason I can't comment on short video with my comment. But I wanted to say thank you and that I found a way to implement this, I wanted to share the information but again for some reason comments from there are deleted after a couple of seconds.
@@zabbixtraining Yes, indeed, the links were present in the comments. I wanted to share the information, maybe it would be useful for those who are looking for a solution like me. I can say briefly that I used a third party utility "LibreHardwareMonitor" which creates an additional section in WMI with the path "ROOT\LibreHardwareMonitor\Sensor" where all the data I wanted to collect is already there. Some of the information was taken from the official zabbix forum.
first you say that you use the msi without encryption but after changing the zabbix version to 6.2 you download the msi with openssl encryption, is this correct?
MSI Automatically adds a firewall rule. In my memory, there was an additional checkbox in MSI installation process where you allowed to add this rule. Maybe that was in previous versions.
you can't. But zabbix is lightweight so if you had an old PC you can spin that up as a "server". Just install a linux distro and then the zabbix server.

Thanks! Straight to the point and got us started in 5 minutes.
Glad to hear that! :)
Thanks for great explanation, Dmitry.
I have a question, what is the difference between Agent vs Agent 2 ?
Why did you chose Agent (v1) ?
Brilliant Tutorial. Thank you
Glad to hear that! :)

Thanks mate, this helped a lot.

The good old cmd option would work best for this. Basically, one command line to install zabbix agent.
Could You link website to tutorial or give us information about cmd installation?
How do we install the Zabbix agent with the WinGet utility including the configuration files?

1:23 please correct this! Its not Intel or AMD. Its 64 or 32 bit!

In mostly depends on the motherboard. So there won't be away to make a singe solution for everyone.
Easy just write a plugin for the agent and bring it upstream. 😊

Hi, can i install multiple agents via MSI?
Странно почему на виндовс машине дополнительно не настраивал фаервол, обычно это требуется .
MSI Automatically adds a firewall rule. In my memory, there was an additional checkbox in MSI installation process where you allowed to add this rule. Maybe that was in previous versions.
Note: only select the amd64 version if you indeed have a 64-bit CPU
I have done the installation but I am unable to view the zabbix webpage
I have only 1 laptop how can I install zabbix without any server ???
you can't. But zabbix is lightweight so if you had an old PC you can spin that up as a "server". Just install a linux distro and then the zabbix server.
How to open zabbix front end?
great
