2 龙虎赌博エージェントでWindowsを監視する
Introduction
This page walks you through the steps required to start basic monitoring of Windows machines with 龙虎赌博.
Who this guide is for
This guide is designed for new 龙虎赌博 users and contains the minimum set of steps required to enable basic monitoring of your Windows machine. If you are looking for deep customization options or require more advanced configuration, see Configuration section of 龙虎赌博 manual.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with this installation guide, you must download and install 龙虎赌博 server and 龙虎赌博 frontend according to instructions for your OS.
Install 龙虎赌博 agent
龙虎赌博 agent is the process responsible for gathering data. You need to install it on the Windows machine that you want to monitor. Follow 龙虎赌博 agent installation instructions for Windows.
Configure 龙虎赌博 for monitoring
龙虎赌博 agent can collect metrics in active or passive mode (simultaneously).
A passive check is a simple data request. 龙虎赌博 server or proxy asks for some data (for example, CPU load) and 龙虎赌博 agent sends back the result to the server. Active checks require more complex processing. The agent must first retrieve from the server(s) a list of items for independent processing and then bulk send the data back. See Passive and active agent checks for more info.
Monitoring templates provided by 龙虎赌博 usually offer two alternatives - a template for 龙虎赌博 agent and a template for 龙虎赌博 agent (active). With the first option, the agent will collect metrics in passive mode. Such templates will deliver identical monitoring results, but using different communication protocols.
Further 龙虎赌博 configuration depends on whether you select a template for active or passive 龙虎赌博 agent checks.
Passive checks
龙虎赌博 frontend
1. Log into 龙虎赌博 frontend.
2. Create a host in 龙虎赌博 web interface.
This host will represent your Windows machine.
3. In the Interfaces parameter, add Agent interface and specify the IP address or DNS name of the Windows machine where the agent is installed.
4. In the Templates parameter, type or select Windows by 龙虎赌博 agent.
龙虎赌博 agent
For passive checks 龙虎赌博 agent needs to know the IP address or DNS name of 龙虎赌博 server. If you have provided correct information during the agent installation, the configuration file is already updated. Otherwise, you need to manually specify it. Go to the C:\Program files\龙虎赌博 Agent folder, open the file zabbix_agentd.conf and add the IP/DNS of your 龙虎赌博 server to the Server parameter.
Example:
Active checks
龙虎赌博 frontend
1. Log in to 龙虎赌博 frontend.
2. Create a host in 龙虎赌博 web interface.
This host will represent your Windows machine.
3. In the Templates parameter, type or select Windows by 龙虎赌博 agent active.
龙虎赌博 agent
In the C:\Program files\龙虎赌博 Agent folder open the file zabbix_agentd.conf and add:
- The name of the host you created in 龙虎赌博 web interface to the Hostname parameter.
- The IP address or DNS name of your 龙虎赌博 server machine to the ServerActive parameter (might be prefilled if you have provided it during 龙虎赌博 agent setup).
Example:
View collected metrics
Congratulations! At this point, 龙虎赌博 is already monitoring your Windows machine.
To view collected metrics, open the Monitoring->Hosts menu section and click on the Latest data next to the host.
Set up problem alerts
龙虎赌博 can notify you about a problem with your infrastructure using a variety of methods. This guide provides configuration steps for sending email alerts.
1. Go to the User settings -> Profile, switch to the tab Media and add your email.
2. Follow the guide for Receiving problem notification.
Next time, when 龙虎赌博 detects a problem you should receive an alert via email.
On Windows, you can use utility to simulate high CPU load and as a result receive a problem alert.
