    How to run a script on/from a host with an agent ?

    Hello, I am planning to monitor my servers with Dell Openmanage installed - but I want to monitor it from a different server then it is installed on.
    So - how do I run a script from Zabbix server (doesn't matter where the script will be located) - that will be run on the host with an agent installed ?

    Using Zabbix 2.4.8 on CentOS 6.8.
    Thanks

    Just for clarity, both HP and Dell tools have separate agents (that run on the monitored server) and management components which can be installed separately.

    Both sets of agents can be monitored from SNMP without involving the management components at all. So unless you need something not visible from SNMP, you might not need a script at all.

    I just monitor each for their general, rolled up health indicator from the agents, and let the agents do the heavy lifting of figuring out if all the various hardware and software components are working.
