How to upload a configuration file when installing Zabbix agent on Windows?

Question

Zabbix

Currently I am installing Zabbix agent using the command

msiexec /i "C:\Zabbix\zabbix_agent-4.4.5-windows-amd64-openssl.msi" HOSTNAME=%HOSTNAME% HOSTNAMEFQDN=%HOSTNAME%.%DOMAIN% SERVER=%zabbixserverIPaddress% SERVERACTIVE=%zabbixserverIPaddress% LPORT=10050 RMTCMD=1 SKIP=fw ENABLEREMOTECOMMANDS=1 /qn

.
What do I need to do to automatically add the value of the "UserParameter" variable to the configuration file during installation?

Can I take a ready-made configuration file (and put it in the folder with the installer) without specifying "Hostname" and Zabbix Server address in it, passing Hostname and Server using the msi installation parameters? Will it work?

Answer 1

Installation through msi is critical? You can distribute the agent along with the config by installing the service with a separate command. In this case, you can add Hostname and Server to the config using any script, using the same bat file.

Answer 2

As one of the options for installing and distributing zabbix agent configs and utilities to expand its functionality, you can try using the Zabbix Helper Kit
