    How to reduce Zabbix agent active connections

    Hi,
    I would like to reduce the many connections of the agents(6.4 active) to the server.

    The default template "Linux by Zabbix agent active" is used for comparison:
    On a system with 91 items I get in a 12h time window about 14000 connections.
    A reduction of the intervals in the template (1m to 5m) brought a reduction to about 10000 connections.
    With activating the buffering on the agent side (BufferSend=300 BufferSize=1000) I could even reduce the connections to about 8000 connections and this even with a 1 minute interval.

    Although the buffering is set to 5 minutes, the agent still sends every 5 seconds. It should not be a heartbeat, which I had also set to several minutes in a test, without this having any effect.

    Are there any other settings to get the agent to collect the items and send them as a bundle to the server?

    I would be very grateful if someone has a tip on how to further reduce the number of connections without losing data.

    Cheers
