 Description   

Currently all connections are established by Proxies. It does not work in some environments due to security policies.

Zabbix should support passive mode for proxy-based monitoring, i.e. connections will be made by Zabbix Server. It must be configurable on per proxy level.

Available at version pre1.8.3, rev. 12802.

minor nitpick - proxy port defaults to 10050, but it should default to 10051

Fixed in r12836.

another minor thing. create a passive proxy and point it to some zabbix server. target zabbix server writes really uninformative messages in the logfile :

Incorrect data. Can't find pair with name "host"
Error sending result back

if possible, would be nice to make these somewhat more helpful (if i didn't know what caused them, i'd have no idea what's that)
