Inactiving item howto?

[nibb]

I was wondering how I can deactived an item for a host.

For example I have set up the Linux templates which is wonderfull but some servers dont have specific services, for example lets say apache. So it shows down.

I dont wanted to delete the item because I dont want to mess up the general template and not sure how Zabbix works regarding configs yet.

I have read on the manual that if you add or change a item on the template it does on all hosts linked. Does this apply the other way around to or is it safe to delete an item for a specific host?

Maybe there is another way of just marking that item as not be used. the Ack function seems only to confirm something but the item still appears.

I think i answered this myself.

Not sure if this is correct, so if this is the procedure please correct me.

What I did is just to disable the items that dont work for a server. I added another server with the same template and they appear again so that means this is correct and its not deleting from the template which i was afraid.

Thats exactly how i want it. Just to disable those items for a specific server and not on the whole template.
