Is there a possibility to use windows environment variables in nxagentd.conf on windows nodes? So we could use one config-file for all windows nodes (32bit oder 64bit, English or different language). Especially %ProgramFiles% would be usefull.

No, it's not possible. I'll add it as change request though.

Victor

thanks for clarification and putting it on the list.

any news in this case?

Seems that it was forgotten. I've scheduled it for 1.2.17 release.

After update to NetXMS V1.2.17 I tested the new feature to use environment variables in agent config for windows agents.
So I replaced in Agent Config Manager "C:\Program Files" thrue "%ProgramFiles%". Than I restarted the agent on a Win2012R2 node. The local 'nxagnetd.conf'-File was updated and contains now "%ProgramFiles%". But the agent doesn't start after that.

Hi,

you should use ${} (UNIX-like) for environment variable expansion in configs. I've choose that form because you may need to pass % sign to underlying layer (for example, it is often used in names of performance counters), and then you'll have to escape all % that are already there in configs. So, ${ProgramFiles} should work.

Thanks Victor. I can confirm it's working like this. So I only need one AgentConfig for all kind of Windows agents! (language, 32bit, 64bit)
