Hello fellow Zabbixers!
I am maintaining a few Zabbix instances at around 600 hosts each. I have created a few maps to showcase the environment to management and support as a visual representation of the network. Maintaining these maps has become almost a day job because changes in the network are fairly frequent.
Because just showing a hostgroup doesn't cut it I have hand-made every map. This means I also have to alter them when configurations change, which is fairly annoying because people often forget to report changes.
Here is my idea: I want to create a trigger that shows a warning if a host is not present in a map, doesn't even matter which. Is this an option?
My idea was to create a small script which runs a SQL query about once every hour or so, to check if the host is found in a table. Maybe this can be done way easier, so I thought I'd ask around here first.
