Background:
we want to use zabbix in an bigger environment where we have to import Events from several external monitoring tools agentless.
How can we set the host shown in the Problems Widget to the hostname that generates the Event instead of the Hostname of the zabbix trapper.
Problem: we can not know in advance all hostnames that send to us and these hostnames has to be shown in the Problems Widget.
Example:
On the System where we run the zabbix_sender:
zabbix_sender -c zabbix_agent.conf -s <not in zabbix existing host with the problem> -k external.event.trapper -o "Error Message"
Question:
what are the way to manipulate the hostname inside zabbix that will be shown in the problem dashboard?
Is it in general possible in zabbix?
Currently we are playing around with zabbix 5.0.2rc1.
We tried to create an "dummy host" without an agent behind it and that was not successfull. Maybe there is an possibility to create an "dummy host" with api, or something like that.
Greetings
