One very painful topic is how to monitor process CPU usage under Windows properly?
Hello Dimitry thanks for the video, Why did you install the zabbix agent and not zabbix agent2? I have had problems with zabbix agent2 mainly on windows servers. Which version do you recommend?
i'd like to know as well
i've done as u showed in the video but i get this error "Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [104] Connection reset by peer" and it says host is unvailable
Thank you @Dmitry for this one request, is it possible to do a short video on how to connect MS SQL Server? Talking about version 6.4.12 and later, there is a new template for MS SQL, I did manage to have my SQL Server with ODBC but from what I hear the new template is better in terms of collecting info
For Windows Servers, do you have to manually add all your hosts (servers) in the Zabbix portal one by one? Isn't there a way to run a network discovery with IP range and Domain Admin Credentials to discover all your hosts?
Also, I am completely new to Zabbix and it will probably take me a while to understand everything from start (installation) to finish. From your posted videos, is there a sequence I should follow so it makes sense step by step?
Thank you for your great videos!
You need to have the agent installed on these servers first. You can then run a discovery to detect the agents and create the hosts.
i have also done as you show in the video but i am getting this error "Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [104] Connection reset by peer" and it says host unavailable
how to handle it?
hello guys, i really need a help.. i installed zabbix server in azure, and works fine with the local network where it is. But now i am trying to add an agent on a remote vmWare Windows Server (remote, not in the same network). Zabbix is only able to see some datas from the agent but the agent availabilty is still Red... any advice?
how do? i monitor the hosts in my cloud virtual machine i create a zabbix server on alibaba ubuntu cloud ip. and I want to monitor it how??
Dmitry, I’m having trouble monitoring my home computer. My fw is open but the agent does not seem to connect to the server. Doesn’t the agent ensure a connection regardless or network config?
Make sure that Server= parameter IP address matches IP of your Zabbix server. And home computer IP is set as interface IP address in frontend for Agent interface.
love ya
Thank you :)
can i still monitor windows servers without installing the agent? what are the things I can monitor and capture with agentless windows devices?
hi you explain well but you dont go to the end of explication.. you dont create the item or trigrer... with the regular expression... for us to see how it works... :( but very well explain).
If i join the patreon i still can have your help in private?
How do you make those damn CDPUserSvc and WpnUserService alerts go away? I've tried several methods I've seen but nothing makes them stop
For service status monitoring?
@@DmitryLambert Yes.
@@BillMac1966 Some windows services despite their startup status "Automatic", do their job and then get stopped. I would recommend to simply filter out those services in regular expression in your LLD.
@@BillMac1966 I think that you do it either via the LLD Overrides or the Filters (with a global regex expression) but I'm not quite sure what is the proper way though. Forums and Reddit are full of those posts and I think there is a confusion which is the 'right' way to do this. @Dmitry that would be a cool video actually to explain this as most users experience this problem. Also, what would be the more 'future-proof' implementation of blacklisting services in case we want to import the latest template version for windows hosts?
@@johnenxada9995 In the Filters tab of LLD there is an option to add via regex services that you don't want to discover.
Windows WMI is going away!
WMIC is going away, not WMI
LOL, WMI isnt going away ever, or anytime soon .
