Agent interface availability behavior

The host availability behavior for Zabbix agent interfaces has been updated:

• if active checks are available, but at least one Agent interface (passive) is unknown while the host also has at least one item using this interface, the total Agent interface availability is displayed as gray (unknown);
• if active checks are available and all Agent interfaces (passive) are unknown (and no items are using this interface), the total Agent interface availability is displayed as green (available).
