Active checks, but on change only?

[saurabhchakrabarti]

Is there a way I can send the active checks for the device, but on change only(not on server configurable intervals)?

When active agent setup is used agent process periodically queries server or proxy for the monitoring configuration.

I think that you have some issue and/or you may be thinking that you have such one and such scenario may solve it.
If it is true instead asking about the thing which is out of possible logic to handle better drop a bit details with what you are dealing

Thanks for your reply.

So I have a device which is sending active checks. But for those metrics, I want to send the metrics only on change, so that I don't consume too much bandwidth. Say for instance, GPS coordinates. I want to send an active check only when the device is moved and not every fixed interval of time. Is that possible?

You can write application/short script which will be sampling on the regular base on the device or other system connected to your device data from such GPS and if coordinates will change you may take those new current coordinates + current time and send those data to the zabbix using zabbix_sender command. In zabbix metrics with items need to define as "zabbix trapper" type.
Additional detail: time resolution of the monitoring data monitored over zabbix agent, SNMP and other is always 1s. Only trapper items have the possibility to specify much lower time resolution with minimum value 1ns (1^-9s) so trapper items could be used to monitor those fastest possible objects.

PS. IMO theoretically zabbix time resolution of the monitoring data should be enough to even store SpaceX Falcon rockets telemetry data
Falcon rocket has a lot of vibration sensors and on the explosion CRS-7 mission, they've been using data from those sensors to triangulate place where struts supporting high-pressure helium bottle inside the second stage's liquid oxygen tank snapped.
