Hi
I have come across the !wonders! of active agent interrogation.
I monitor desktops as well .. and under windows there is a lot of interfaces it finds (I have filtered those out with the global regex)
But I am thinking why is it that the discover is running in passive mode. should all of this be done in active agent mode. Seems like a win win... smaller network traffic. less connections and potentially less processing on the node side.
What is the downfall of turn the network discovery process for windows (and potentially linux) on active agent as well as all the reading of values ?
Alex
EDIT:
found this old thread not much info in it
but it implies that active checks are not as regular ? so for example I am thinking of turning all my checks into active.. like network interface counters... Can i presume if I set it in zabbix to be every 30s it gets done every 30s and then sent to the zabbix server .. ?when? every 30 secs or ?
