6 Agent Zabbix 2 (Windows)
Aperçu
L'agent Zabbix 2 est une nouvelle génération d'agent Zabbix et peut être utilisé à la place de l'agent Zabbix.
Cette section répertorie les paramètres pris en charge dans un fichier de configuration de l'agent Zabbix 2 (zabbix_agent2.win.conf).
Notez que:
- Les valeurs par défaut reflètent les valeurs par défaut du processus, et non les valeurs des fichiers de configuration livrés ;
- Zabbix prend en charge les fichiers de configuration uniquement en encodage UTF-8 sans BOM ;
- Les commentaires commençant par "#" ne sont pris en charge qu'en début de ligne.
Détails des paramètres
Alias
Définit un alias pour une clé d'élément. Il peut être utilisé pour remplacer une clé d'élément longue et complexe par une clé plus courte et plus simple.
Plusieurs paramètres Alias peuvent être présents. Plusieurs paramètres avec la même clé Alias ne sont pas autorisés.
Différentes clés Alias peuvent faire référence à la même clé d'élément.
Les alias peuvent être utilisés dans HostMetadataItem mais pas dans le paramètre HostnameItem.
Exemple 1: Récupération de l'utilisation du fichier d'échange en pourcentage à partir du serveur.
Désormais, la clé raccourcie pg_usage peut être utilisée pour récupérer des données.
Exemple 2: Obtention de la charge CPU avec les paramètres par défaut et personnalisés.
Cela permet d'utiliser la clé cpu.load pour obtenir la charge du processeur avec les paramètres par défaut ainsi que d'utiliser cpu.load[percpu,avg15] pour obtenir des données spécifiques sur la charge du processeur.
Exemple 3: exécution de plusieurs règles de découverte de bas niveau traitant les mêmes éléments de découverte.
Il est désormais possible de configurer plusieurs règles de découverte à l'aide de vfs.fs.discovery avec des paramètres différents pour chaque règle, par exemple vfs.fs.discovery[foo], vfs.fs.discovery[bar], etc.
AllowKey
Allow execution of those item keys that match a pattern. The key pattern is a wildcard expression that supports the "*" character to match any number of any characters.
Multiple key matching rules may be defined in combination with DenyKey. The parameters are processed one by one according to their appearance order. See also: Restricting agent checks.
BufferSend
The time interval in seconds which determines how often values are sent from the buffer to Zabbix server.
Note, that if the buffer is full, the data will be sent sooner.
Default: 5 | Range: 1-3600
BufferSize
The maximum number of values in the memory buffer. The agent will send all collected data to the Zabbix server or proxy if the buffer is full.
This parameter should only be used if persistent buffer is disabled (EnablePersistentBuffer=0).
Default: 100 | Range: 2-65535
ControlSocket
The control socket, used to send runtime commands with the '-R' option.
Default: \\.\pipe\agent.sock
DebugLevel
Specify the debug level:
0 - basic information about starting and stopping of Zabbix processes
1 - critical information;
2 - error information;
3 - warnings;
4 - for debugging (produces lots of information);
5 - extended debugging (produces even more information).
Default: 3 | Range: 0-5
DenyKey
Deny execution of those item keys that match a pattern. The key pattern is a wildcard expression that supports the "*" character to match any number of any characters.
Multiple key matching rules may be defined in combination with AllowKey. The parameters are processed one by one according to their appearance order. See also: Restricting agent checks.
EnablePersistentBuffer
Enable the usage of local persistent storage for active items. If persistent storage is disabled, the memory buffer will be used.
Default: 0 | Values: 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled
ForceActiveChecksOnStart
Perform active checks immediately after the restart for the first received configuration. Also available as a per-plugin configuration parameter, for example: Plugins.Uptime.System.ForceActiveChecksOnStart=1
Default: 0 | Values: 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled
HeartbeatFrequency
The frequency of heartbeat messages in seconds. Used for monitoring the availability of active checks.
0 - heartbeat messages disabled.
Default: 60 | Range: 0-3600
HostInterface
An optional parameter that defines the host interface. The host interface is used at host autoregistration process. If not defined, the value will be acquired from HostInterfaceItem.
The agent will issue an error and not start if the value is over the limit of 255 characters.
Range: 0-255 characters
HostInterfaceItem
An optional parameter that defines an item used for getting the host interface.
Host interface is used at host autoregistration process. This option is only used when HostInterface is not defined.
During an autoregistration request the agent will log a warning message if the value returned by the specified item is over the limit of 255 characters.
HostMetadata
An optional parameter that defines host metadata. Host metadata is used only at host autoregistration process (active agent). If not defined, the value will be acquired from HostMetadataItem.
The agent will issue an error and not start if the specified value is over the limit of 2034 bytes or a non-UTF-8 string.
Range: 0-2034 bytes
HostMetadataItem
An optional parameter that defines an item used for getting host metadata. This option is only used when HostMetadata is not defined. User parameters and aliases are supported. The system.run[] item is supported regardless of AllowKey/DenyKey values.
The HostMetadataItem value is retrieved on each autoregistration attempt and is used only at host autoregistration process.
During an autoregistration request the agent will log a warning message if the value returned by the specified item is over the limit of 65535 UTF-8 code points. The value returned by the item must be a UTF-8 string otherwise it will be ignored.
Hostname
A list of comma-delimited, unique, case-sensitive hostnames. Required for active checks and must match hostnames as configured on the server. The value is acquired from HostnameItem if undefined.
Allowed characters: alphanumeric, '.', ' ', '_' and '-'. Maximum length: 128 characters per hostname, 2048 characters for the entire line.
Default: Set by HostnameItem
HostnameItem
An optional parameter that defines an item used for getting the host name. This option is only used when Hostname is not defined. User parameters or aliases are not supported, but the system.run[] item is supported regardless of AllowKey/DenyKey values.
The output length is limited to 512KB.
Default: system.hostname
Include
You may include individual files or all files in a directory in the configuration file. During the installation Zabbix will create the include directory in /usr/local/etc, unless modified during the compile time. The path can be relative to the zabbix_agent2.win.conf file location.
To only include relevant files in the specified directory, the asterisk wildcard character is supported for pattern matching.
See special notes about limitations.
Example:
ListenIP
A list of comma-delimited IP addresses that the agent should listen on. The first IP address is sent to the Zabbix server, if connecting to it, to retrieve the list of active checks.
Default: 0.0.0.0
ListenPort
The agent will listen on this port for connections from the server.
Default: 10050 | Range: 1024-32767
LogFile
Name of the agent log file.
Default: c:\\zabbix\_agent2.log | Mandatory: Yes, if LogType is set to file; otherwise no
LogFileSize
The maximum size of a log file in MB.
0 - disable automatic log rotation.
Note: If the log file size limit is reached and file rotation fails, for whatever reason, the existing log file is truncated and started anew.
Default: 1 | Range: 0-1024
LogType
Type of the log output:
file - write log to the file specified by LogFile parameter;
console - write log to standard output.
Default: file
PersistentBufferFile
The file where Zabbix agent 2 should keep the SQLite database. Must be a full filename. This parameter is only used if persistent buffer is enabled (EnablePersistentBuffer=1).

Note: Zabbix will process 10 times more new lines than set in MaxLinesPerSecond to seek the required string in log items.
Default: 20 | Range: 1-1000
Plugins.SystemRun.LogRemoteCommands
Enable logging of the executed shell commands as warnings. The commands will be logged only if executed remotely. Log entries will not be created if system.run[] is launched locally by the HostMetadataItem, HostInterfaceItem or HostnameItem parameters.

Default: 5 | Range: 1-86400
Server
A list of comma-delimited IP addresses, optionally in CIDR notation, or hostnames of Zabbix servers or Zabbix proxies. Incoming connections will be accepted only from the hosts listed here. If IPv6 support is enabled then '127.0.0.1', '::127.0.0.1', '::ffff:127.0.0.1' are treated equally and '::/0' will allow any IPv4 or IPv6 address. '0.0.0.0/0' can be used to allow any IPv4 address. Spaces are allowed.
Example:
Mandatory: yes
ServerActive
Zabbix server/proxy address or cluster configuration to get active checks from. The server/proxy address is an IP address or DNS name and optional port separated by colon.
The cluster configuration is one or more server addresses separated by semicolon. Multiple Zabbix servers/clusters and Zabbix proxies can be specified, separated by comma. More than one Zabbix proxy should not be specified from each Zabbix server/cluster. If a Zabbix proxy is specified then Zabbix server/cluster for that proxy should not be specified.
Multiple comma-delimited addresses can be provided to use several independent Zabbix servers in parallel. Spaces are allowed.
If the port is not specified, default port is used.
IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets if port for that host is specified. If port is not specified, square brackets for IPv6 addresses are optional.
If this parameter is not specified, active checks are disabled.
Example for Zabbix proxy:
Example for multiple servers:
Example for high availability:
