Zabbix Server Adding the Zabbix Agent to hosts

The playbook [2], role [3] contains everything required to deploy and configure the Zabbix agent on a particular host.

The Zabbix agent is included in most (if not all) top-level playbooks - for example for the proxies, see [1]. The role [2] is where the delegated action to the Zabbix API happen.

To deploy the agent on a host, simply run it’s playbook - it should have the zabbix_agent role already. If not, check with the Infra team about whether it should be added to the playbook.

After running the playbook, check the Zabbix server for the particular environment [3] [4] to ensure the host correctly shows up in the host list.
