ZabbixW32 version 1.0.0-beta8
******************************************************************************
About
-----
ZabbixW32 is Zabbix agent for Win32 systems. It will work on Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. ZabbixW32 doesn't supposed to work on other
Windows platforms.
Installation
------------
Installation is very simple and includes 3 steps:
1. Unpack ZabbixW32.exe
2. Create configuration file c:\zabbix_agentd.conf (it has the same syntax as
for UNIX agent).
3. Run command "ZabbixW32.exe install" to install Zabbix agent as service.
If you wish to use configuration file other that c:\zabbix_agentd.conf,
you should use the following command for service installation:
"ZabbixW32.exe --config <your_configuration_file> install". Full path to
configuration file should be specified.
Now you can use Control Panel to start agent's service or run
"ZabbixW32.exe start".
Windows NT 4.0 Note:
ZabbixW32 uses PDH (Performance Data Helper) API to gather various system
information, so PDH.DLL is needed. This DLL is not supplied with Windows NT 4.0
by default, so you need to download and install it by yourself. Microsoft
Knowledge Base article number 284996 describes this in detail and contains a
download link. You can find this article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;284996
Command line syntax
-------------------
Usage: zabbixw32 [options] [command]
Where possible commands are:
check-config : Check configuration file and exit
standalone : Run in standalone mode
start : Start Zabbix Win32 Agent service
stop : Stop Zabbix Win32 Agent service
install : Install Zabbix Win32 Agent as service
remove : Remove previously installed Zabbix Win32 Agent service
install-events : Install Zabbix Win32 Agent as event source for Event Log
This is done automatically when service is being installed
remove-events : Remove Zabbix Win32 Agent event source
This is done automatically when service is being removed
help : Display help information
version : Display version information
And possible options are:
--config <file> : Specify alternate configuration file
(default is C:\zabbix_agentd.conf)
Configuration file
------------------
Zabbix Win32 agent suports the following configuration parameters:
Server = <ip_address>[,<ip_address>[,<ip_address> ...]]
Sets IP address(es) of Zabbix server(s). Agent will accept connections only
from this address(es). To specify multiple servers, you can either write
their addresses in one line separated by commans, or create multiple
"Server = ..." lines.
ListenPort = <port_number>
Sets TCP port number for incoming connections.
LogFile = <path>
Sets the agent's log file. If this parameter is omitted, Event Log will
be used. You can also specify Event Log as a target for logging implicitly
by setting <path> to "{EventLog}" (without quotes).
Timeout = <number>
Sets the request processing timeout (in seconds). If server request will
not be processed within specified timeout, appropriate error code will be
returned to server. Default is 3 seconds.
MaxCollectorProcessingTime = <number>
Sets maximum acceptable processing time of one data sample by collector
thread (in milliseconds). If processing time will exceed specified value,
warning message will be written to log file. Default value is 100
milliseconds.
Alias = <alias_name>:<parameter_name>
Sets the alias for parameter. It can be useful to substitute long and
complex parameter name with a smaller and simplies one. For example, if
you wish to retrieve paging file usage in percents from the server, you
can use parameter "perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]", or you
can define an alias by adding the following line to configuration file:
Alias = pg_usage:perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]
After that you can use parameter name "pg_usage" to retrieve the same
information. You can specify as many "Alias" records as you wish.
Please note tht aliases can not be used for parameters defined in
"PerfCounter" configuration file records.
PerfCounter = <parameter_name>,"<perf_counter_path>",<period>
Defines new parameter <parameter_name> which is an average value for
system performance counter <perf_counter_path> for the specified time
period <period> (in seconds). For example, if you wish to receive average
number of processor interrupts per second for last minute, you can define
new parameter "interrupts" as following:
PerfCounter = interrupts,"\Processor(0)\Interrupts/sec",60
Please note double quotes around performance counter path. Samples for
calculating average value will be taken every second.
The following parameters can be presented in configuration file for
compatibility with UNIX agents but has no effect:
StartAgents
DebugLevel
PidFile
NoTimeWait
UserParameter
Parameters supported by Zabbix Win32 Agent
------------------------------------------
I. Zabbix standard parameters
cksum[<path>] <path> can be normal Windows path, like C:\, or UNC.
Agent will return UNSUPPORTED if file is larger than
64MB.
diskfree[<path>] <path> can be normal Windows path, like C:\, or UNC
disktotal[<path>] <path> can be normal Windows path, like C:\, or UNC
filesize[<path>] <path> can be normal Windows path, like C:\, or UNC
memory[free]
memory[total]
memory[cached] Only on Windows XP
ping
proc_cnt[<process_name>]
swap[free]
swap[total]
system[hostname]
system[proccount]
system[procload]
system[procload5]
system[procload15]
system[uname]
system[uptime]
version[zabbix_agent]
II. Win32-specific parameters
agent[avg_collector_time]
Average time spent by collector thread on each sample processing for
last minute (in milliseconds)
agent[max_collector_time]
Maximum time spent by collector thread on sample processing (in milliseconds)
agent[accepted_requests]
Total number of requests accepted by agent for processing.
agent[rejected_requests]
Total number of requests rejected by agent because they was coming from
unallowed source.
agent[timed_out_requests]
Total number of requests timed out in processing.
agent[accept_errors]
Total number of accept() syscall errors.
agent[processed_requests]
Total number of requests successfully processed by agent.
agent[failed_requests]
Total number of requests with errors in processing (requests generated
ZBX_ERROR return code).
agent[unsupported_requests]
Total number of requests for unsupported parameters (requests generated
ZBX_UNSUPPORTED return code).
cpu_util
Average CPU(s) utilization (in percents) for last minute
cpu_util5
Average CPU(s) utilization (in percents) for last 5 minutes
cpu_util15
Average CPU(s) utilization (in percents) for last 15 minutes
cpu_util[<instance>]
Average specific CPU utilization (in percents) for last minute, where
<instance> is zero-based CPU number
cpu_util5[<instance>]

md5_hash[<file name>]
MD5 hash of specified file (returned as string). Agent will return UNSUPPORTED
if file is larger than 64MB.
perf_counter[<path>]
Value of any performance counter, where <path> is the counter path (you can use
Performance Monitor to obtain list of available counters). Please note that
this parameter will return correct value only for counters which requires just
one sample (like "\System\Threads"). It will not work as expected for counters
that requires more than one sample - like CPU utilization.
proc_info[<process>:<attribute>:<type>]
Different information about specific process(es).
<process> - process name (same as in proc_cnt[] parameter)
<attribute> - requested process attribute. The following attributes are
currenty supported:

used by process) in Kbytes
pf - Number of page faults
ktime - Process kernel time in milliseconds
utime - Process user time in milliseconds
io_read_b - Number of bytes read by process during I/O operations
io_read_op - Number of read operation performed by process
io_write_b - Number of bytes written by process during I/O operations
io_write_op - Number of write operation performed by process
io_other_b - Number of bytes transferred by process during operations
other than read and write operations
io_other_op - Number of I/O operations performed by process, other
than read and write operations
gdiobj - Number of GDI objects used by process
userobj - Number of USER objects used by process
<type> - representation type (meaningful when more than one process with the same
name exists). Valid values are:
min - minimal value among all processes named <process>
max - maximal value among all processes named <process>
avg - average value for all processes named <process>
sum - sum of values for all processes named <process>
Examples:
1. To get amount of physical memory taken by all Internet Explorer processes.
use the following parameter:
proc_info[iexplore.exe:wkset:sum]
2. To get average number of page faults for Internet Explorer processes,
use the following parameter:
proc_info[iexplore.exe:pf:avg]
Notes:
1. All io_xxx,gdiobj and userobj attributes available only on Windows 2000
and later versions of Windows, not on Windows NT 4.0.
