zabbix 1.4.2 distributed monitoring broke templates

[clubbing80s]

Hi
I have configured distributed monitoring and now when I try and add a template to a host it adds the graphs and triggers etc ... multiple time .. then when I go to monitoring
and check the the graphs , there are mulitple of the same graphs, all displaying the same data correclty as specified by the template .. the same template is used for a number of hosts ...


# Graph "traffic on interface eth0" added to hosts "proxy2.vpn.ct-net.org"

first i can verify your post. i guess your problem occurs using all templates you have imported _after_ running zabbix_server -n #?
seems like if you add a template with same name to both nodes and linking a template against an remote host, triggers getting added to host linked against same template but master node. at least this happens in my case. slave nodes triggers screen always stays empty if importing a trigger.
on master the trigger is visual just one time but if you add template to another host (on master) you see same trigger getting added for each import action from slave. also triggers getting ON/OFF multiple times on master if a related condition happens

I'm also experiencing this problem, the only way I know how to reverse this is by deleting the template and importing the original (xml) again. The problem with this is that it breaks all the screens. Does anyone know a better way of removing the duplicate items, graphs, and triggers?

i have renamed all my templates on both nodes to nodename_template_name
which solves all irritations for the moment. but as i have written in other threads
there are some basic things to at DS imho.
would like to see your answers about my thoughts.
