Zabbix 1.8 export/import does not work

Export and Import Templates on Zabbix 1.8 does not work.

[richlv]

importing is a known (and already fixed) problem, exporting should work

[richlv]

why do you think those are errors ?
now, the duplicated application looks weird, can you check whether you see some duplication in frontend ?

[untergeek]

When you say, "fixed," do you mean that we have to download a recent patch, edit something? What?

[richlv]

you could try creating patch from svn, or just wait for 1.8.1

[untergeek]

Is the patch just for the frontend?

What's the URL for SVN checkout?

[richlv]

yes, importing fix should affect frontend only. svn repository can be accessed at svn://svn.zabbix.com
some initial instructions can be found at http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/contrib/getting_source

i wouldn't suggest attempting to extract patch unless you are familiar with code repositories, though - simpler solution might be to check out 1.8 branch frontend in a separate directory on the frontend server and try to use that.

I tried the latest svn frontend and no longer see the error in the apache log.

I am trying to use the zload script for snmp devices so maybe that is another part of my issue. When I do the import it will create a Host but no items.

Here is an example xml file I am having issue with:

<zabbix_export version="1.0" date="14.12.09" time="14:59">
	<hosts>
		<host name="TESTINGIMPORT">
			<status>3</status>
			<item type="4" key="ifIndex.1" value_type="0">
				<description>ifIndex.1</description>
				<delay>60</delay>
				<history>7</history>
				<trends>365</trends>
				<snmp_community>community</snmp_community>
				<snmp_oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1</snmp_oid>
				<snmp_port>161</snmp_port>
			</item>
		</host>
	</hosts>
</zabbix_export>

I got the zload script off of the wiki.

[richlv]

wrap all <item> elements with <items> block.
where did you get such a template without <items>, is it exported by some old zabbix version ?

[laakness]

I used this from the Wiki to generate the XML. I've tried the links all over the forum for the 1.1 version but they all point to the old wiki and fail.

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/mon...zload_snmpwalk

I'm going to test with the <items></items> and then if that works just modify the perl script to echo the correct tags.

[richlv]

you might be interested in http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/scripts/gentemplate.pl as well

[laakness]

Thanks I'll give that a shot today.

[laakness]

That script works well. It's great for generating a template for a specific device as some of the auto-generated graph names have the interface descriptions from that device.

Thanks again for the link.

I have the same problem

In 1.8 , when you export the template, the XML file created has 0 byte, why?
