Print binary architecture to log file for windows agent when it started

XMLWordPrintable

      Sometimes we need to know what is architecture of a zabbix agent binary (.exe) is running on a windows x64 host.
      It's important for example for some performance counters, processes monitoring etc.

      If you try to google the question how to check architecture for an exe file - you will be surprised that it's not so easy on windows.

      Good thing that agent will show it when you run it with -V option.

      c:\>zabbix_agentd.exe -V
      Zabbix Agent Win32 (service) v2.4.6 (revision 54782) (10 August 2015)
      Compilation time: Aug 10 2015 10:15:18
      
      c:\>zabbix_agentd-trunk.exe -V

      not sure why do we add a "(service)" text here ...

      But bad thing that this information is not included to log file:

        2248:20151002:192932.707 Starting Zabbix Agent [it0]. Zabbix 2.4.6 (revision 54782).

      Suggestion is to add the arch details to the log too, in the first line when agent is starting.
