LLD rules in a 2nd level template didn't work.

[Jun.Liu]

Hi Experts,
I'm using the Zabbix 3.2 and setup a template named `TemplateB` with 1 discovery rule and some prototype items, it worked well and generate the expected items if I linked it to a host. but when I link it to another template `TemplateB` and then link the TemplateB to a host, the expected items never be generated! and there is no any error msg in Zabbix server's log as well.

With below configuration, it work perfect, the expected items were generated:

 HostA <---  TemplateB(LLD with 1 discovery rule and some prototype items),

but with below configuration, no expected items was generated!

HostA <--- TemplateA  <--- TemplateB(LLD with 1 discovery rule and many prototype items)

The questions are:
1. Is this a normal situation (the discovery rule in second level template(or sub-template) doesn't work)?
2. if the discovery rule in second level template(or sub-template) should work, how to do a troubleshooting? any hint or tip?

Thanks in advance.

Regard

What it means "discovery rule in second level"? what happens?
Can you show exact example?

kloczek, thank your response.

" discovery rule in second level" means the discovery rules in the TemplateB that is not linked to a host but another TemplateA, and the TemplateA was linked to host. I modified my original post and hope it help to understanding.
