Dude, I seriously never met anyone so capable of explaining things so clearly. I’m a noob at all this and it’s marvellous your ability to send ideas through.
Thanks for your time and showing this.
Excellent!! Thank you!
Amazing amazing , thank you so much for that lesson , I see why you have an active part and a passive part in the config file , I like the flexibility and control these files give you - really awesome keep theses vids coming I am learning such alot and have an awesome day further :-) best regards Lance
Awesome explanation... thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤘
Active check are kind a like DynDns. Agent will send data to the server regarding of its own IP address.
Very useful when you play with zabbix agent on Android or any other devices that use 3G/LTE .
As you specify, by default all items are Passive.
But... when you add new host, the default IP address is 127.0.0.1 , which is the default for adding active agent...:)
I learn a lot from this video. Will subscribe.
I was very confused with Active and Passive check in Zabbix. Great video with good explanation and i got the answer of my questionsns.
Thank you for your feedback!
Very useful, thanks a lot!

Very good video
If the IP address of a existing registered host changes does the new IP update in the front-end?
how can we know that zabbix agent is capturing gps and obd data from a raspberry pi?
please help......
very clear explanation, thanks!
what about open ports (10050/10051) - is it secure to have them opened (on agent machines and server)?
I dont think that theres anything dangerous. On Agent side you can limit from who accept connections. If you dont want to open anything incoming you choose active checks.
Great!!
I have a Linux host which is in a network .. I can't monitor it remotely...how to solve this?
My zabbix agent remains down every time I reboot a server. How can I solve this?
Hi! Thank you very much for the explanation. Are you planning Russian-language documentation or articles?
No, sorry

Great video, thank you.
Any experience with ElasticSearch?
Yes, what exactly interests you?
@@DmitryLambert Can you compare it with Zabbix? Is it comparable at all? Or ElasticSearch is just "core" and you need another tool to monitor? Ty
@@majojepan9 They are absolutely not comparable. Zabbix is a monitoring tool. Elastic is nosql database. :)
@@DmitryLambert Yo, that's why i asked if is needed some another tool. I found out that 'Beats + Kibana (Elastic DB containing data)' is maybe equivalent to Zabbix. But it doesn't matter, i have some confusion in it.
Is there a way to convert passive template to active checks and versa?
I would clone the template, call it something (Active) And the mass update Item types from Zabbix agent to Zabbix agent (Active)
fantastic videos you make .. but can you add arabic subtitles to your videos to tell my friends about you , because they have a project in school about zabbix
where is so called previous videos ??????
And I thought I was the only one that used paint and notepad........
Congrats with upgrade)
Thanks :)
Language like "over A" is not clear. Imho better would be to indicated source and destination: "from server port A to agent port B". "Over" does not let me know if you are talking about the source or destination port. Now it leaves me confused and not giving me answers about which ports to open where, essential when it comes to firewalls.
Noted
I really don't think having 100 agents is a good idea. You could max out your CPU. It's ok to raise up the timeout. Especially if your CPU is getting pegged. Sure, when nothing is running you'll see .002 seconds to get a number back. But try that in a real production environment where the CPU is getting pegged. RAISE THE TIMEOUT. It's ok.
