1. What are two primary reasons for installing Zabbix_get? a) To manage
user permissions and dashboards b) To gather data from the agent and run
passive tests c) To configure SNMP traps and alerts d) To update Zabbix
server components b) To gather data from the agent and run passive
tests Rationale: Zabbix_get is a utility for troubleshooting and manual data
collection from agents, especially for passive checks; it is not used for
permissions (a), SNMP (c), or server updates (d). This ensures accurate data
gathering in monitoring setups.
2. Which file needs to be edited to allow the Zabbix server to connect to
the Zabbix agent? a) zabbix_server.conf b) zabbix_agentd.conf c)
zabbix_proxy.conf d) zabbix_frontend.conf b) zabbix_agentd.conf
Rationale: The agent's configuration file (zabbix_agentd.conf) defines the
server IP and connection parameters; server config (a) is for server -side,
proxy (c) for proxies, and frontend (d) for UI. This is key for secure data
gathering.
3. What is generated every time a trigger changes its state in Zabbix? a)
An item value b) A host inventory c) A trigger event d) A media type c) A
trigger event Rationale: Trigger events (problem or recovery) are generated
on state changes to initiate actions; item values (a) are data points, host
inventory (b) is static, and media types (d) are notification configs. Essential
for monitoring alerts.
4. What two event generation modes are supported when using triggers in
Zabbix? a) Manual and automatic b) Single and multiple c) Problem and
recovery d) Active and passive c) Problem and recovery Rationale:
Triggers generate events in problem (when issue detected) and recovery
(when resolved) modes; single/multiple (b) refers to problem counting,
active/passive (d) to checks. This supports effective monitoring
configuration.
5. Zabbix supports dependencies between hosts directly. True or False? a)
True b) False c) Only in proxies d) Only for items b) False Rationale:
Dependencies are between triggers, not hosts directly; proxies (c) and items
(d) don't apply. This prevents cascading alerts in monitoring setups.
