You almost have it, you just need to change your target directories and it should work just fine.

It already works just fine on Ubuntu and CentOS after a
apt-get install build-essential or

yum groupinstall Development.

So why not just put that into the installer script at the top?
sudo apt-get install build-essential --yes

Because if I do that, the script barfs errors all over the place if it is run on a Non-Debian distro.

Edit: This is one of the things I plan to fix.

Also sloppy to use a static IP in the script.

I don't have internal DNS for this, and you will see that it is a variable you can change.

During our chat, I realized that I made no mention of adjusting the variables for your environment. I'll add some documentation to it for clarification.

Is it, or is it smart? If DNS is down, don't all your server show as down?

For a public script it's sloppy, even @dafyre agreed. Its fine to be there, but it can't resolve to an internal DNS for the installation of the system. Because it's not internal for you, but internal for @dafyre

It's been fixed anyhow. Now defaults to 127.0.0.1, I think.

Aaron does have a point in this. The good news is that the zabbix server contacts machines back via IP address when they are auto registered in the system.

Topic has been unattended for some time, but all your github links are giving me 404 errors...

I'm sure you are aware of this, but just in-case.. I wanted to check out your agent installer for windows scripts.

cheers.

@cronsloth If you are looking for WIndows Zabbix agents, I have some scripts here;

https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/3984-zabbix-64-bits-client-installation

Just make sure to have the latest agent files.

There is also a msi out there that you can compile yourself. Makes it a lot easier.

Compile yourself?

Compile isn't the right word on this context... I suppose bundle may be more accurate?
