You install a stock open source agent on your server, which means we have no control over the code you install,
You don't have to open a port in your firewall,
You can disable passive items, and disable remote commands,
By default, the zabbix agent cannot just execute commands on your server, it can only get certain statistics,
You define the userparams that the agent can execute. Userparams are necessary for gathering some specific data, mostly application-specific. (such as Postfix queue and Apache process info)
