    After converting from passive to active agents the little ZBX icon shows up red

    I've converted the templates from Linux to Linux Active. I'm getting good data, so I know that the agents are phoning home as they should.

    The server cannot connect to the clients by design.

    I'm guessing that the "ping" trigger is unhappy and is making my ZBX icons red, which is making me unhappy. How do I make the ZBX icon green again with active agents?

    Ping is not agent item, but simple check (if we talk about icmpping here, not agent.ping), which does not require agent, so it has nothing to do with that icon.
    IIRC that icon requires at least one passive item. Otherwise server/proxy has no idea, if the host is alive. With passive items server knows exactly, that agent responded. With active items, server just receives some data without asking for it..
    I really don't remember is there anything changed in v6 about this, can the server now make decision just based on incoming data or not...

      Can I fake the icon to green somehow? I have a bunch of passive servers (green) and a few active servers (now red). The active servers look like they are in an error state, but they are fine. If I couldn't make the ZBX icon green I'd be content.
