Help in Auto-registration

[Supriya123]

am new to Zabbix.I am trying to figure out, if I can use Auto-registration by specifying name in HostMetadataItem

Here is my configuration in Agent /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

### Option: HostMetadata

# Optional parameter that defines host metadata.

# Host metadata is used at host auto-registration process.

# An agent will issue an error and not start if the value is over limit of 255 characters.

# If not defined, value will be acquired from HostMetadataItem.

#

# Mandatory: no

# Range: 0-255 characters

# Default:

HostMetadata=MPHPPfortnite




### Option: HostMetadataItem

# Optional parameter that defines an item used for getting host metadata.

# Host metadata is used at host auto-registration process.

# During an auto-registration request an agent will log a warning message if

# the value returned by specified item is over limit of 255 characters.

# This option is only used when HostMetadata is not defined.

#

# Mandatory: no

# Default:

HostMetadataItem=MPHPPfortnite



From UI

These are the configuration I have done in UI. But the host is not auto-registering.
Can someone help me?

pls fix the "Action" screenshot. And pls note "HostMetadataItem is only used when HostMetadata is NOT defined" (if you define HostMetadata - no need define HostMetadataItem and viсe versa)

# Host metadata is used at host auto-registration process.

# An agent will issue an error and not start if the value is over limit of 255 characters.

# If not defined, value will be acquired from HostMetadataItem.

# Mandatory: no

# Range: 0-255 characters

# Default:

HostMetadata=MPHPPfortnite




### Option: HostMetadataItem

# This option is only used when HostMetadata is not defined.

#

# Mandatory: no

# Default:

#HostMetadataItem=MPHPP fortnite

From manual: (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...o_registration)
1) Make sure you have the Zabbix server identified in the agent configuration file (ServerActive=)
2) Pls note:
Auto-registration is rerun ONLY:
if host metadata information changes:
due to HostMetadata changed and agent restarted
due to value returned by HostMetadataItem changed
for manually created hosts with metadata missing
if a host is manually changed to be monitored by another Zabbix proxy
if auto-registration for the same host comes from a new Zabbix proxy
