    zabbix agent VS zabbix trapper

    hi
    I have about 200 servers which i want to monitor with zabbix. my zabbix version is 5.
    i read about zabbix trapper and zabbix agent and tested both to see how they work.
    now before I start monitoring all of my servers I wanted to know which method is better to use?
    zabbix agent or zabbix trapper?
    if i have 10 items on each server which need to be monitored every 60 seconds, i will have 2000 value.
    is it better to write an script that send their value to zabbix or zabbix agent run those commands?

    There shouldn't be a large difference between trapper and agent if you use active agent checks. Passive agentmay be less efficient. Also consider using the threshold/discard preprocessing option.

      The agent provides much more features and has many built-in metrics.
      zabbix_sender is just a module for sending data.
