Hi Dan, Reference here [1], zabbix init.d script.
If "/mnt/kd/zabbix_agentd.conf" exists, then the complete agent config must be defined there. If "/mnt/kd/zabbix_agentd.userparams.conf" is defined, and no "/mnt/kd/zabbix_agentd.conf", then an autogenerated entry: -- Include=/mnt/kd/zabbix_agentd.userparams.conf -- will be included in the autogenerated config.
