Zabbix 1.5.2 - Template Linkage with Parent and Child Templates - Unlink Problem

[Palmertree]

If you unlink a parent template that has child templates from a host, individual itmes are unlinked from the child template and become part of the host itself.

For example:


1. Template.Parent has Template.Child1 and Template.Child2 linked to the Template.Parent under templates.

2. A host is linked to the Template.Parent and because Template.Child1 and Template.Child2 are linked to Template.Parent they to are linked to the Host.

3. Looking at the host items, you can see all 3 templates and items.

4. Unlink Template.Parent from the host and then go back into items for the host. You will see that the items that were attached to the Template.Child1 and Template.Child2 actually became separate individual items under the host.

I saw a little bit different behavior.. But I think it's related, fixed. Thank You! :)

Thanks Aly I will give it a try and let you know how my testing turns out.

It's fixed. Also noticed that I had to use "unlink and clear" too in order to remove the items completely from the host. I like this new feature because if you just want to unlink the template but keep the items, you can just click on "unlink" while viewing the template properties.

This is not a new feature, it's there, at least, since 1.4.2.
