Question 1
What are the three main components of Zabbix? A. Server, Frontend, Agent B.
Server, Frontend, Database C. Proxy, Agent, Database D. Server, Proxy, Web
Interface
B. Server, Frontend, Database Rationale: The core architecture of Zabbix
consists of the Zabbix server (for data collection and processing), the frontend
(PHP-based web interface for configuration and visualization), and the database
(for storing all monitoring data, history, and configurations). This forms the
foundational triad for any Zabbix deployment, as outlined in the 2025 Zabbix 7.0
documentation. Agents and proxies are additional components for data gathering,
not core to the main setup.
Question 2
What are the three main functions of the Zabbix server? A. Data visualization,
alerting, reporting B. Data collection, problem detection, notification C. Host
discovery, template creation, user management D. Proxy configuration, agent
installation, database backup
B. Data collection, problem detection, notification Rationale: The Zabbix
server is responsible for collecting data from agents/proxies, analyzing it to detect
problems via triggers, and initiating notifications through actions. These functions
ensure real-time monitoring and response, central to Zabbix's architecture per the
2025 certification guidelines. Visualization is handled by the frontend, and
discovery/user management are configuration tasks.
Question 3
What are three advantages of using Zabbix proxies? A. Reduced server load,
centralized configuration, improved security B. Monitoring remote locations,
distributing load, limited firewall rules C. Automatic scaling, built-in encryption,
template inheritance D. Data encryption, user authentication, dashboard creation
