    Study Notes

    Autoregistration in Zabbix 6.0

    • HostInterface parameter allows custom value for the host interface, useful for monitoring added hosts with passive checks
    • Autoregistration action attempt happens every time an active agent updates configuration, at least one autoregistration action must be enabled
    • Autoregistration is executed when a previously unknown active agent asks for a configuration, when host metadata information changes, or when action operations are changed
    • Autoregistration action conditions include host name, metadata match, contains, proxy, and type of calculation
    • Autoregistration action operations include add/remove host, assign/unassign host group, link/unlink templates, send message, remote command, enable/disable host, and set host inventory mode
    • Autoregistration is set up by defining matching action conditions, operations, and configuring Zabbix Agent in active mode with optional parameters
    • Autoregistration of passive checks is supported, allowing autoregistered hosts to be monitored using passive checks
    • Secure autoregistration is possible by configuring PSK-based authentication, with options for no encryption, PSK authentication only, or both modes
    • Practical setup involves setting up PSK auto-registration options, creating an "Auto registration" action, configuring the agent, and checking the hosts for registered agents
    • PSK identity and key are used for setting up PSK auto-registration options
    • An "Auto registration" action is created with conditions for host metadata match and linking a template
    • Practical task involves checking the "Hosts" for the registered agents and fixing encryption settings for the previously created hosts
