I have configured zabbix server with zabbix active agents but I am not able to get notifications when zabbix active agents shut down. I have no issue getting email notifications when active agents reboot or turn on after shut down. But I would like to get notifications as soon as zabbix active agents shut down or in case of network failure in agents side. Please help.

This is usually done with items and triggers. If you are using the default templates, this should be already done for you, although the default templates are passive-only.
As a very simple approach, try changing the
agent.ping
item in the template toZabbix agent (active)
. Note that this might remove the passive reachability alerting.
