Hi.
I need one method to monitor hosts only by active checks, i need to run agen without listen any port.
Is there one method to get the host "up" on zabbix, with agend not listening?
Hug.

You've to edit the following in zabbix_agentd.conf
DisablePassive no 0 Disable passive checks. The agent will not listen on any TCP port.
Only active checks will be processed.
0 - do not disable
1 - disable
You also need to set every Item's Type in the WebInterface as
'Zabbix Agent (active)'

Ok, i made all you said already, but zabbix still want to connect to agent to check if host is alive.
Its that my doubt.

Guys,
I have configured a client host to be monitored behind a firewall, so, I put the agentd on host client in Active configuration and in zabbix-server at my CIA I have add a host with all Items in Active Mode.
I am receiving the data from this client host, but I cannot see it on Dashboard.
Why ?
I will have to user a proxy ?
Hi,
Have you configured any trigger for this host ?
Your host will not appear in dashboard until there is at least one trigger defined.

You can define a trigger with nodata function.
Check trigger documentation:
