How frequently is data collected via the Zabbix proxy sent to the Zabbix server by default?

Data collected via the Zabbix proxy is sent to the Zabbix server every 30 seconds by default. This frequent polling allows for near real-time monitoring and ensures that the Zabbix server has up-to-date information from its proxies. The ability to have this data transmitted every 30 seconds is particularly beneficial in environments where rapid changes can occur, enabling quick detection of issues.

Understanding the default values in Zabbix is crucial for optimal configuration, as these values can impact the performance and responsiveness of your monitoring setup. Adjustments to this frequency can be made in the Zabbix proxy configuration files, depending on the specific requirements of the environment.
