Info

Zabbix service is installed on adi-devops-confidential-instance-stable-2

There are created a multiple firewall rules for the agents can send data. * * wf rules are allow all connections on port 5002 on host devops-4. * allow host-agents to send data to devops-4 public ip on port 5002. We will use agent (active) type. * * There are passive and active agent checks. When configuring an item, you can select the required type: 1. Zabbix agent - for passive checks 1. Passive checks 2. A passive check is a simple data request. Zabbix server or proxy asks for some data (for example, CPU load) and Zabbix agent sends back the result to the server. 3. Passive checks are executed asynchronously - it is not required to receive the response to one request before other checks are started. DNS resolving is asynchronous as well. 2. Zabbix agent (active) - for active checks 1. Zabbix agent (active) is used for active checks. In this mode, the agent sends data to the Zabbix server without being prompted. This is different from passive checks, where the server requests data from the agent. More details can be found in the Zabbix documentation 2. Using Zabbix agent (active) can be a better solution in scenarios where you want the agent to proactively send data to the Zabbix server without waiting for a request. This can be beneficial for real-time monitoring and reducing the load on the Zabbix server, as it doesn't have to constantly poll the agents for data.
