Description

We delete the assigned templates, and manually create 3 passive items on one of the Linux hosts reachable from the Zabbix server,

Name Type Key Units
Zabbix Agent Ping Zabbix Agent agent.ping
Free Space Zabbix Agent vfs.fs.size[/,free] B

And then we create the equivalent active items on one of the Windows hosts on the CGNAT network unable to receive passive checks initiated from the Zabbix server.
