![]() However, the agent must know what metrics should be monitored, and that is why the agent connects to the trapper port 10051/TCP of the server once every two minutes (by default). In the active mode, all data processing is performed on the agent, without the interference of pollers. Then the server gets the value back, and the connection closes. The poller waits until the agent on the host responds with the value. If you use the Zabbix agent in the passive mode, it means that the poller (internal server process) connects to the agent on port 10050/TCP and polls for a certain value (e.g., host CPU load). The main difference lies in the direction of the connection. You may already know the difference between the modes, but do you know the actual benefits that come with either option? For the Zabbix agent, there is a choice between ‘ Zabbix agent (passive)’ and ‘ Zabbix agent (active)’. ![]() This is mandatory as the item type determines how the item will work and collect data.

Learn how to get the most out of the Zabbix Agent active and passive modes to fix problems proactively with remote commands.
