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

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?

[giovannip.]

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?

[rapiudinsaputra]

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??

[KikiNation]

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!

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?

[MrArchie]

can i still monitor windows servers without installing the agent? what are the things I can monitor and capture with agentless windows devices?

[AlexDiamantopulo]

One very painful topic is how to monitor process CPU usage under Windows properly?

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
