Dear Madam/Sir,

In fact, we decided to use Zabbix for monitoring our MSSQL environment. Therefore, we used Zabbix's official MSSQL template ([ https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mssql|https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mssql] ). But I didn't find answers to some important questions in this related.

First: According to this template, is compulsory that we open MSSQL port 1433 toward the Zabbix for monitoring that or not? ( my meaning is, the 1433 port has to open through the network firewall as well as the 10050 port Zabbix agent for retrieving the MSSQL data. ??? )

Second: This template only works with the Zabbix agent or we can use the template based on SNMP Version 3 for getting MSSQL data. ???? Whether there is any possibility to monitor MSSQL through SNMP by Zabbix or not?

Third: the mentioned username and password in this template is compulsory for getting MSSQL data or not? whether there is any possibility to monitor MSSQL by Zabbix without any credentials to MSSQL Server even Read user??

Best Regards
