Zabbix and the art of SNMP traps by Brian van Baekel / Zabbix Summit Online 2021

Zabbix can handle #SNMP polling and receiving #SNMPTraps. Brian van Baekel, Consultant / Zabbix Trainer, Opensource ICT Solutions B.V., from The Netherlands demonstrates how to configure Zabbix so it reacts on received SNMP traps and automatically changes the item configuration to get the full picture of the device's current status at a minimal performance cost.

this way of using an API call to react to am alert must be taken with care.
if you receive to much traps, then you are sending many polling to the equipment at once.

DO we need 3 different machines to successfully run Zabbix ? 1 for Zabbix component, 1 for database and 1 for Web server ? OR 1 machine would be enough to test it for like 20-30 machines ?? and what is the most stable version of Zabbix to run with Centos ?? and if possible please suggest the cpu, memory, requirements to monitor up to 50 machines ..
