    Forcing Zabbix Agent 2 Active Items to Send Values Immediately

    With Zabbix Agent (version 1) using active checks, restarting the zabbix-agent service forced all items to collect and send their values to the Zabbix server immediately.

    I am now configuring Zabbix Agent 2 in Docker, but restarting the container does not appear to force active items to collect or send values. If an item's update interval is set to one hour, I seem to have to wait an hour for its initial value to be collected and sent to the server after the item is created.

    Is there a way to force Zabbix Agent 2 to immediately collect and send values for active items. This is particularly inconvenient when testing new items.

    I assume you already have this option enabled in Zabbix Agent 2:
    ForceActiveChecksOnStart=1

        No, I did not have it. Of course, after adding it, it started working. Thank you.
