I want import some templates from existing zabbix server to another new zabbix server

[ankushssgb]

I have one server having zabbix-server with version 2.2.6(OS version CentOS6) and now I install zabbix on another server having OS CentOS7 with zabbix version 2.2.22, Now I want import some templates, application, Items, triggers from existing zabbix server to another new zabbix server without importing whole databse dump.

So, can any one help me here how I can do this. Since my existing zabbix DB size is near about 80 GB.

Hello

You can use export/import for templates and other settings:

Thanks for your reply..

I am unable to import one template from old zabbix-server to new zabbix-server.

While importing that template I am getting below error message:

ERROR: Import failed

• Created: Application "CPU" on "Template NetApp".
• Created: Application "File Serving" on "Template NetApp".
• Created: Application "Lun" on "Template NetApp".
• Created: Application "System" on "Template NetApp".
• Created: Application "Volume" on "Template NetApp".
• Cannot find value map "netapp.fsOverallStatus" used for item "File System overall status" on "Template NetApp".

I have also attached exported NetApp template xml file for your reference.

It will be great, If someone can help here.

Hi,

Just one more difference I observed with my old zabbix-server and new zabbix server is as below:

On old zabbix-server (version 2.2.6), when we are creating new "Item", For that item "show value" field showing extra values like "netapp.fsOverallStatus" and "netapp.miscGlobalStatus" as compare t my new zabbix-server (version 2.2.22)

Please let me know, How can I import attached template (which I attached in my previous update ) with items in my new zabbix server.

Hi

You need to transfer "Value Mapping" named "netapp.fsOverallStatus" from old server «Administration -> General -> Value Mapping» to the new Zabbix server. Unfortunately this can be done only manually or using DB sql query.

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion, Its work for me. But, again I am getting different error while importing templates from old zabbix server to new zabbix server.

Below are the error details for your reference:

• Cannot implode expression "{Template NetApp:LunSnapStatus[{#SNMPVALUE}].avg(0)}#2". Incorrect trigger function "avg(0)" provided in expression. Invalid first parameter.

Average needs to be of more than 0 readings (avg seems pointless if less than 2 readings - might as well use last, which should require less processing). Edit your template and change avg(0)->avg(#5).

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Currently I am getting below error, while importing host list:

• Two items ("Device name" and "Host name") cannot populate one host inventory field "Name", this would lead to a conflict.

Hello

You need to open xml file in the text editor and remove unsupported elements, in this case 'Device name'.
