zabbix docker template needs both active and passive agent connections?

[pva]

I'm trying zabbix-agent2 with the following template: https://www.zabbix.com/ru/integrations/docker

I've managed to make it work having both Server and ServerActive in zabbix_agent2.conf. Without Server, I've got no data and as I read documentation discovery does not work without passive polling (which means Server, right?):

Template Docker by Zabbix agent 2 — collects metrics by polling zabbix-agent2.

This requirement for passive connection looks strange. It breaks out architecture wherbe hosts are sending all their monitoring items to zabbix-server and we don't have a reverse connection on our infrastructure. Is there a way to avoid passively polling zabbix-agent2 and use only ServerActive connection?

Ugg... this is a killer. Is there any workaround?

I have this problem too. Does anyone have a solution?

All the agent items that work as passive, can work also as active... Just change them to active and be done with it...

What do you mean by this? Is this a setting somewhere?

Just change the item types (as shown on the screenshot) and do the same for discovery rules. Then the query will be done by the active agent.

Hi,
I changed zabbix agent type to active - and it still doesn't work.

context:
I have zbx-server and all agents2 in active type. We don't have internal / vpn network so we dont want to open ports in public.
All hosts works fine in active type. (linux by zabbix agent 2 active temaplate for example )
When I try to add docker by zabbix agent 2 - It require to add host interface.
So i add it - public IP and port 10050 (default)

Now - active metrics works fine - still.
but Docker by Zabbix agent 2 template don't discover dockers and don't collect metrics.
Agent have access to docker and I tried to change agent type to active in docker by zabbix agent 2 temaplate like on the up screen shoot.

Plz help

Saying "it does not work" is not enough... Do you have any error messages? In UI or in logs?
