ZABBIX Active Agent Configuration

Zabbix agent (Active) Checks are widely used in any environment, but simple human mistakes can cause quite big problems. Wrong trigger firing and people notified with false-positive alerts.
In this video, we talk about this issue, how to identify and fix it.

Actually, setting "HostNameItem: system.hostname" and leaving HostName blank will prevent such a thing. You can put zabbix agent on all your (identical) hosts with the same conf file.

To be more precise, we use:

Server=<your zabbix server>

ServerActive=<your zabbix server>

HostnameItem=system.hostname

HostMetadataItem=system.uname

"Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [104] Connection reset by peer"
what will be the problem at all??

I surf all around the net, still can't find any solution
