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 items
  • directly linked triggers
  • directly linked graphs
  • directly linked dashboards
  • 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

Depending on the selected format, templates are exported to a local file with a default name:

  • zabbix_export_templates.yaml - in YAML export (default option for export)
  • zabbix_export_templates.xml - in XML export
  • zabbix_export_templates.json - in JSON export

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.

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).

On the next screen, you will be able to view the content of a template being imported. If this is a new template all elements will be listed in green. If updating an existing template, new template elements are highlighted in green; removed template elements are highlighted in red; elements that have not changed are listed on a gray background.

The menu on the left can be used to navigate through the list of changes. Section Updated highlights all changes made to existing template elements. Section Added lists new template elements. The elements in each section are grouped by element type; press on the gray arrow down to expand or collapse the group of elements.

Review template changes, then press Import to perform template import. A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
