# AIX by Zabbix agent
## Overview
For Zabbix version: 6.4 and higher.
It is an official AIX template. It requires Zabbix agent 4.0 or newer.
## Setup
> See [Zabbix template operation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.4/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box/zabbix_agent) for basic instructions.
Install Zabbix agent on the AIX OS according to Zabbix documentation.
## Zabbix configuration
No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
### Macros used
|Name|Description|Default|
|----|-----------|-------|
|{$AGENT.TIMEOUT} |<p>The timeout after which agent is considered unavailable. It works only for the agents reachable from Zabbix server/proxy (in passive mode).</p> |`3m` |
## Template links
There are no template links in this template.
## Discovery rules
|Name|Description|Type|Key and additional info|
|----|-----------|----|----|
