remote command in template

[SLMitch]

In my template UNIX, i decide to make a remote_command where /etc/passwd file is changed.

I use : {Unix:vfs.file.cksum[/etc/passwd].diff(0)}>0 for the item

I wanted have :
{HOSTNAME}:"diff -uwB /etc/passwd- /etc/passwd |mail [email protected]" has remote command, in order to have the real difference between old file and new file.

However, trigger is identify by an hostname, and i can't use a generic soluce like this.

There are a soluce ? (I can't create 200 trigger and 200 remote_command, too long and not flexible)

There's a way to create custom items in zabbix_agentd.conf on each host. This may be the easiest way to create many different items. See the example mysql items in zabbix_agentd.conf

Another idea it to 'manually' look through the zabbix SQL database, reverse-engineer it, and create a string of insert queries to add all of your items. This is tedious, time-consuming, and could be dangerous for your database (and your sanity!) but it is possible.
