Zabbix Documentation 4.2

Hosts are exported with many related objects and object relations.

Host export contains:

• linked host groups
• host data
• template linkage
• host group linkage
• host interfaces
• directly linked applications
• directly linked items
• directly linked triggers
• directly linked graphs
• directly linked discovery rules with all prototypes
• directly linked web scenarios
• host macros
• host inventory data
• value maps

To export hosts, do the following:

• Go to: Configuration → Hosts
• Mark the checkboxes of the hosts to export
• Click on Export below the list

Selected hosts are exported to a local XML file with default name zbx_export_hosts.xml.

To import hosts, do the following:

• Go to: Configuration → Hosts
• Click on Import to the right
• Select the import file
• Mark the required options in import rules
• Click on Import

When a host is imported and updated, it can only be linked to additional templates and never be unlinked from any.

A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
