Zabbix Documentation 4.4

Network map export contains:

• all related images
• map structure - all map settings, all contained elements with their settings, map links and map link status indicators

Not exported are host groups, hosts, triggers, other maps or any other elements that may be related to the exported map. Thus, if at least one of the elements the map refers to is missing, importing it will fail.

Network map export/import is supported since Zabbix 1.8.2.

To export network maps, do the following:

• Go to: Monitoring → Maps
• Mark the checkboxes of the network maps to export
• Click on Export below the list

Selected maps are exported to a local XML file with default name zabbix_export_maps.xml.

To import network maps, do the following:

• Go to: Monitoring → Maps
• 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:

If you uncheck both map options and check the respective options for images, images only will be imported. Image importing is only available to Zabbix Super Admin users.

Exporting a small network map with three elements, their images and some links between them. Note that images are truncated to save space.
