I was disappointed to see that 1.9 doesn't have support for templating web monitoring.
I think that is the single biggest missing feature in Zabbix. The web monitoring concept by its own is great, but it is not practical to monitor hundreds of web servers when you have to configure the script manually for every one of them. I believe it should be very easy to templatize the existing web monitoring feature so it can be associated with a group of servers and run the test on each one of them, instead of specifying a hard coded server name.
