Technical requirements
As this chapter is all about host and item discovery, besides our Zabbix server we will need one new Linux host and a Windows host. Both these hosts will need Zabbix agent 2 installed, but not configured just yet.
Furthermore, we are going to need our JMX host, as configured in Chapter 2, Setting up Zabbix Monitoring, and a new host with SNMP set up. To learn more about setting up an SNMP-monitored host, check out the Working with SNMP monitoring recipe in Chapter 2, Setting up Zabbix Monitoring.
