Hi Flo, I think you misunderstood my question. Yes, we are using puppet clients running the agent and a central puppetmaster. However, each puppet client also needs to be monitored by our Zabbix monitoring system. I'm trying to figure out the best way to add each puppet client to the Zabbix monitoring system the first time they are configured. Should the script which adds them run on the client or the server? The server seems like the safest choice but Im not sure what would be the best method.
Thanks.
