| Description |
|
Currently, active agent checks cannot be 'checked now', the type is unsupported for immediate checks. Actually, these can be checked using direct agent check instead of waiting for active one, the key / syntax is perfectly the same. Don't know how much effort it is to implement, but could come very handy for check creation / debugging, removing requirement to debug checks as passive agent checks and converting to active later on. |

Indeed. Another use case for active checks is offloading Zabbix pollers from tracking agent items and making agent connections, when there is a whole lot (tens of thousands) of these items. |
