zabbix active

These configs are for running Zabbix server in "active mode", where the agents phone home instead of the server reaching out to poll them ("passive").

This lessens the load on poller processes the server needs to run and manage; if a client does not phone home within X amount of time after first contact, an alert is raised. Clients use a PSK that must be first configured in the server.

The server must allow the clients to connect inbound to the port (iptables, etc.) but the clients do not need any firewall rules for the server to connect to them.
