SNMP agent item type is used to retrieve metrics via SNMP protocol.
8. What is the function of preprocessing in Zabbix?
A. Data storage
B. Data transformation before storage
C. Alert sending
D. User authentication
Correct answer: B
Preprocessing modifies raw data before it is stored or used in triggers.
9. Which macro is user-defined at the host level?
A. {$MACRO}
B. {HOST.NAME}
C. {ITEM.VALUE}
D. {TRIGGER.NAME}
Correct answer: A
User macros are defined with {$...} syntax and can be set per host or template.
10. What is a template in Zabbix?
A. A backup file
B. A reusable configuration set
C. A database schema
D. A visualization panel

Correct answer: B
Maintenance suppresses alerts during planned downtime.
, 13. What does LLD stand for?
A. Low-Level Discovery
B. Logical Link Detection
C. Local Load Distribution
D. Layered Link Discovery
Correct answer: A
LLD automatically discovers entities like disks or interfaces.
14. Which expression function returns the last value?
A. avg()

B. 10050
C. 10051
D. 8080
Correct answer: B
Zabbix agent listens on port 10050 for passive checks.
17. What is a dependent item?
A. Independent metric
B. Item based on another item’s value
C. Trigger-based item
D. External script
Correct answer: B
Dependent items reuse data from a master item, reducing load.
18. What does the nodata() function detect?
A. High CPU
B. Missing data
