Let's conclude this chapter by digging into the configuration files of the Zabbix agent and server, and examining each parameter in them. We'll start with the agent configuration file and discuss the ways in which common parameters apply to other daemons.

We'll also skip all the parameters that start with TLS, as those are related to Zabbix daemon traffic encryption, and we discussed that in Chapter 18, Encrypting Zabbix Traffic.
