Hello,
I setup Zabbix server and installed Zabbix agent 2 on some hosts then configured host in the UI.
On hosts, I just configured:
- Server=<Zabbix Server IP>
- ServerActive=<Zabbix Server IP>
- Hostname=<A name for the host to monitor>
Everything else was left untouched.
Host config looks like this:

If I check in Monitoring > Hosts and hover the availability icon (ZBX):
Here I don't understand why the status of "192.168.0.124:10050" stays "Unknwon".
Is it normal when using the active agent ?
I'm trying to understand that because I can see that all hosts does not have a availability status:

So I checked the documentation and I found this:

and

So I have 2 questions:

So I have 2 questions:
- Why the status of "192.168.0.124:10050" (in Monitor>Hosts) stays "unknown"
- How can I fix the host availability visible in the dashboard (widget) ? In the documentation is says . How can I deduct the availability on the dashboard in a similar way? In my head it's kind of simple: active agent is sending data => available. If not data received for 2 heartbeat => not available.Active checks are considered unavailable when the active check heartbeat is older than 2 x HeartbeatFrequency seconds.
