Notification What are the available notification methods? Collects more information with less load on the Zabbix server (rather than the server getting data from the client).Actively pushes data to the Zabbix server.If there is no auto registration action defined, it will not get added again. Passive checks - SNMP checking available for network or other devices where an agent can not be installed.īy changing the parent template or individual hosts as necessary Can the agent unregister itself?.10050 is polling port for passive polling.Active checks - Agent on port 1001 using JSON comm protocol.What methods does monitoring use to check? This is a 1.5 - 2 times performance increase versus passive checks Active: Agent pulls down the checks programmed into agent, packages up the results and pushes data to the server.

Passive: Server reaches out and polls for checks.Agent can work in passive or active mode.Agent exists on a system that is associated with triggers on the master / server side.Monitoring How does Zabbix handle agents and checks? Zabbix share community available link to the stock windows agent discovery rules (LINK).Reference standard templates available on the Zabbix site.Request for MSsql metrics template (LINK).CSI will send discovery information to WMS and necessary stanzas for Windows agent to work.Need a set of test hosts where we can look at metrics to tune templates and triggers Azure server testing?.Any server can be a member of one or more host groups which can be added during discovery.įor databases, a user will be needed with rights to read data from the database beyond what the agent can access in the O/S. When a Zabbix agent can be installed, we can use metadata to set up groups to drop hosts into the correct space in zabbix at build / ingest time.How do we get machines added to monitoring? We are currently using active checks, which reduces load on the server.The agent is using 1 or more templates for checks on O/S, applications, SSL Certs, etc.For any OS supported by Zabbix a local agent will run.

Zabbix agent can execute the NRPE script and pull in the data.

Onboarding Can we use existing NRPE checks that are deployed on systems, or will all checks need to be redone using the Zabbix agent on all production systems? 1.0 - Authored on by Thomas Karches Monitoring/Notification FAQ index (updated )
