+Subject: [PATCH] zabbix_agentd: Tweak config file for OpenWrt
+
+Note: original patch had no header, header added 2025-12-16, while
+bumping package version.
+
+1. Use syslog not a file for logging
+2. Do not use PidFile
+3. Only start in passive agent by default
+4. Do not do active checks by default
+5. Use the system hostname as hostname.
+6. Include configurations under /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/
+
+Signed-off-by: Daniel F. Dickinson <dfdpublic@wildtechgarden.ca>
