Viewing data of disabled host.

[yurtesen]

I have a disabled host which was disabled for a few months. The system is using timescaledb (not sure if this is a factor). I am using Zabbix 5.0

I am not able to see any data in the `Latest data` section for this host. I know the data is there because there are thousands of items in the host view. Also I am able to view the items if I manually build an URL using the itemid.

How can I see the old data for this host somewhat more conveniently? I do not understand why the latest data is empty, because it should at least show the empty items, no?

This is a bug in 5.x. https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-19223 Feel free to vote!

Glencoe thanks, and voted! So if I temporarily enable monitoring, then I can see the history?

I have a dilemma related to this. This host does not exist anymore. So if I enable monitoring the host, probably many discovery rules will fail all of a sudden. Will this cause the undiscovered items to be deleted? This is sort of a gray area for me. I am not sure what is the best way to keep historical data and make sure the previously monitored items are never removed until the normal housekeeper rules clean them out.

Disable all the items/discoveries before enabling host...
