Can Zabbix be installed on Windows operating systems?

Zabbix is made up of a server, a web frontend, and agents. The server and frontend run on Unix-like systems and aren’t officially supported on Windows. Windows is supported only for the Zabbix agent, which can be installed on a Windows host to collect data and send it to a Zabbix server running elsewhere. So you can monitor Windows machines, but you can’t run the full Zabbix server stack on Windows. That means the statement is true in a limited sense: Yes, but with limitations.
