    Study Notes

    Zabbix Agent 2 Components

    • Zabbix Agent 2 components include connectors that communicate with the Zabbix server and have their own result cache
    • The scheduler manages tasks based on schedule and concurrency settings, with all tasks managed by a single process
    • Plugins perform data collection based on individual queues, with each plugin having up to 100 workers operating in parallel

    Zabbix Agent 2 Plugins

    • Zabbix Agent 2 plugins are Go packages that collect metrics by implementing plugin interfaces
    • These plugins are inactive by default and are activated only when monitoring a metric provided by a plugin
    • They provide an option to extend Zabbix's monitoring capabilities and are specific to Zabbix Agent 2

    Installing Zabbix Agent 2 on Linux

    • Zabbix Agent 2 installation involves installing the official Zabbix repository or the Zabbix Agent 2 package separately
    • Configuration of zabbix_agent2.conf is similar to the C-based agent, with specific parameters for passive and active checks
    • The agent is started using systemctl commands and can be set to auto-start

    Zabbix Agent 2 Command-line Options

    • Zabbix Agent 2 has similar command-line options to Zabbix Agent, including runtime commands for remote control interface

    Plugin Settings

    • Available metrics are divided into plugin sections with parameters for active, capacity, concurrent checks, and tasks
    • If no metrics are collected for 24 hours, a plugin becomes inactive

    Status View

    • The status of a running agent can be viewed via a web browser by setting the "StatusPort" parameter and accessing the status page using HTTP protocol

    Plugin Configuration

    • All plugins are configured using the "Plugins.*" parameter in "zabbix_agent2.conf," with specific parameters and syntax
    • The number of concurrent checks within one plugin can be limited, and some plugins have specific parameters

    Force Active Check in Start

    • Zabbix Agent 2 can check all active checks on start, with the first data collection for active checks scheduled at a conditionally random time
    • The ForceActiveChecksOnStart parameter, introduced since 6.0.2, can be used to perform active checks immediately after restart

    Agent 2 Named Sessions

    • Named sessions represent an additional level of plugin parameters and are required to specify DB connection encryption parameters
