    Request: Active agent remote command execution

    Would it be possible to add remote command execution for active mode agents? The commands could stay in a queue until the agent "calls home" and downloads it. I deal with a lot of active agents behind firewalls and this would be a huge timesaver!

    Thanks a lot for a great product!

                Hello,

                I just tried to execute a command (as an action on a trigger problem) with version 1.8.4 and it seems it doesn't work on Active mode.

                I changed the item associated with the trigger to Zabbix agent Active
                And I noticed that when I disable PassivMode on Zabbix agent, the item is still normally refreshed but the remote command is not executed. It only works when I enable PassivMode.

                So is this feature really implemented on the last Zabbix version?

                ps: I think that this problem is the only limitation on ActiveMode on Zabbix agents.

                  Any progress?

                  Hi,

                  Just wondering if there has been any progress to this issue. It was formally lodged as a feature request here (https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-297) some time ago.

                  This would make the active agent incredibly powerful.

                  In the mean time, has anyone been successful with some kind of workaround? I can add a new item to run a remote command obviously this will happen periodically which is far from ideal.

                  Is there perhaps a way to disable template items for certain hosts by way of a trigger?

                  Thanks

                    Hello,

                    Do we have any progress regarding this issue.

                    As stated by other users, such a functionality will really make active agents powerful.

                    Please advise.

                    Thanks,
                    Nicola.

                      as far as i know, it's not on the short term roadmap (https://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/2.0_roadmap)

                              Having remote command relayed thru the hosts proxy would make life simpler also.
