Any program you run takes some amount of machine resources, and the Zabbix agent is no different. Under normal conditions, the zabbix-agentd is what I would call "lightweight", meaning it normally uses a very small number of resources on the client system. For example, on a typical Linux system, if you run something like 'top', the zabbix-agentd will certainly appear in the list, but it typically wouldn't spend much if any time as the top process for CPU use, or memory, etc.
If you are collecting lots of data via the agent (meaning you are monitoring many items) or you are collecting them very frequently, then that would increase the amount of resources the agent needs to use to gather and return the data you've asked it to collect.
Some items that you might monitor are also potentially more difficult to collect, which means that the agent has to use more processing time or memory to collect it. The built-in items generally are quite efficient to collect, from what I've seen.
If you are collecting any custom items via a UserParameter and script or program on the client, then that may use extensive client resources, depending on how you have written the script.-
Hi, Tim, Thanks for this explanation. Can you refer any tutorial which helps me to install and configure Zabbix lightweight configration? I want to test it on My Vm first, and want deploy on My Live environment asap.I Just Want to monitor IPMI Interface with CPU, RAM, hard disk utilization and if possible network packet transfer and receive.
