Zabbix agent listens on port 10050. If you have a UFW firewall or firewalld running, consider opening the port as follows.

----------- On UFW Firewall ----------- 
$ sudo ufw allow 10050/tcp
$ sudo ufw reload

----------- On Firewalld ----------- 
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=10050/tcp --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
