Important Notice Before Installing

The Windows Collector includes binaries that actively scan your network as part of its normal discovery process. This includes scanning for open ports and reading details from common protocols such as SNMP, mDNS, and others.
Because of this behavior, we strongly recommend the following before and after installation:

Do not install the Collector on hosts running critical network services such as Domain Controllers, DHCP servers, DNS servers, or any other infrastructure your network depends on. Security appliances or endpoint protection software may flag the Collector’s scanning activity as a threat and isolate or block the host from the network, which could cause a significant outage.

Add firewall and security exceptions immediately after installation. Once the Collector is installed, add the Collector host and the Domotz installation folder to the allowlist of your security software and any network-level security appliances (firewalls, IDS/IPS, EDR solutions) before the first scan runs. This prevents false-positive detections from disrupting the Collector’s connectivity or the services running on the same host.

For reference, the default Domotz Collector installation path on Windows is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Domotz

Run the installer as an Administrator and accept the terms of the agreement:

Select the folder you want to install the Domotz Pro Collector for Windows, Confirm whether you are setting up a new collector or would like to transfer an existing license, and click on Install:

Wait for the installer to finish:

When the installation is finished, click on Finish. 

The Windows installer automatically activates and associates the collector with the account used to download it. This activation window is valid for 6 hours from the time of download.

If the collector is unable to associate automatically, then the activation page can be accessed via browser from the agent host at the following address: http://127.0.0.1:3000 

To install the windows agent silently, or via scripting please see THIS guide.
