==== Agent ====
Zabbix agent is a very small daemon which will gather informations about the host being monitored, and report it to one or several server(s) (or proxy(s)).
Agents can run in active or passive mode (or both):
*In active mode, the agent will make outgoing connection to the server (port 10051 by default).
*In passive mode, the server will connect to the agent (on port 10050 by default).
Please read Chap. 2.3.4.ZABBIX Agent page 39 and Chap. 3.3.ZABBIX Agent (UNIX, standalone daemon) of the manual for more informations on Zabbix agent.

Even if zabbix agent is great and support natively a lot of checks, some were missing for my use, so I've added UserParameters entries in the configuration file. For each of this check, you should add a new item with the name of the check as the key.

Configuring the corresponding checks on the server can be quite long. You can have a look at the [http://sme.firewall-services.com/downloads/zabbix/zabbix_SME.xml.zip templates] I use to monitor SME Servers. This file is an XML export of my templates. You can use the Import/Export functionality of zabbix (Manual Chap. 8.XML IMPORT AND EXPORT page 154) to import it on your server.
