Active checks

[Pablo]

Hello,

I need help to understand what 'active check' does.

I always put this line comment in zabbix_agentd.conf (I think it means that active checks are disable):

#DisableActive=1

but I can get User Parameters, items with keys defined by zabbix, and many other things...

What is the advantages of the active checks?.
Thank you

well, if you leave the '#' in the front of DisableActive=1, that line will have no effect, it's just a comment, so Active checks are still enabled.

The advantage of using Active checks is that the agent will send the data to the zabbix server instead of the zabbix server polling for the data. This will reduce the load on your zabbix server.

To use the active checks your Item Type should be set to "Zabbix Agent (Active)".
