2 Templates

Overview

Templates are exported with many related objects and object relations.

Template export contains:

  • linked host groups
  • template data
  • linkage to other templates
  • linkage to host groups
  • directly linked applications
  • directly linked items
  • directly linked triggers
  • directly linked graphs
  • directly linked screens
  • directly linked discovery rules with all prototypes
  • directly linked web scenarios
  • value maps

Exporting

To export templates, do the following:

  • Go to: ConfigurationTemplates
  • Mark the checkboxes of the templates to export
  • Click on Export below the list

Selected templates are exported to a local XML file with default name zabbix_export_templates.xml.

Importing

To import templates, do the following:

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

All mandatory input fields are marked with a red asterisk.

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

Import rules:

Rule Description
Update existing Existing elements will be updated with data taken from the import file. Otherwise they will not be updated.
Create new The import will add new elements using data from the import file. Otherwise it will not add them.
Delete missing The import will remove existing elements not present in the import file. Otherwise it will not remove them.
If Delete missing is marked for template linkage, existing template linkage not present in the import file will be removed from the template along with all entities inherited from the potentially unlinked templates (items, triggers, etc).
