PostgreSQL Agent 2 requires passive agent?

[bsjaekel]

Hi,

I tried to monitor my local Postgres database on my Ubuntu Linux (20.04.2) using the Zabbix agent version 2. I have configured everything according to the docs and added the template PostgreSQL Agent 2 to my host. The host is monitored using the agent in active mode. It seems now that the Zabbix server tries to establish a connection to the agent to get the Postgres monitoring data, but this fails becaus of active mode. Incoming connections to Zabbix agent are not possible.

Is the PostgreSQL Agent 2 template only working with passive mode? What do i have to do to get it working in active mode or did is miss something in the documentation?

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Sebastian

Ok, guys... i have to apologize. Solved it by myself, the solution was to just full clone the PostgreSQL Agent 2 template into a new one named PostgreSQL Agent 2 active and change the item from Zabbix agent to Zabbix agent(active). Now it works perfectly with my active agent.
