Ignoring Windows Services in Zabbix Windows Template Low-Level Service Discovery

By Antti Hurme 27/12/2017 2 Comments 0 Min Read

The new Zabbix Windows templates include a Low-Level Discovery for Windows Services. The service.discovery LLD creates items based on discovered Windows Services and accompanies triggers to services with Automatic startup.

To ignore a set of services, from all Windows clients, you need to modify  the discovery regex. To modify the default regex, open Administration > General > Regular Expressions. Modify the Windows Service names for discovery reged that has a return value of false. Add any services to this in valid regex format to exclude them for the LLD discovery.

    Hi,

    Does it apply by itself ? or do I need to rediscover all windows machines ?

    Regards

      No need to rediscover hosts or anything. The services will be filtered according to regex next discovery run. Keep in mind discovered items have a lifetime after they are lost, if you want to loose them right away, just set this temporarily to 0d.
