Adding host inside a big template

[nala]

Hello,

I am trying to add new host in a given hostgroup with a linked template.
The issue is that this linked template will create automatically somes Applications, triggers, graphs and more than 20k+ items.

The GUI zabbix can not support such a heavy creation.

I am creating a pythons script in order to do several request in order to do it.
The issue is that I am able to collect all the Item created from a current host, but I am blocked in the creation of this item on my new host but got some conflicts on it. I am working on it in order to fix it.
Let's assume that I managed to fix it,
Will I be able ,once all my Application/triggers/graph/items created, to linked it to my template normally ?

I have tried to increase to timeout but with a big template it is still not working well.

I am using a legacy zabbix server3.4 with zabbix_api on Python 3.6

How would you work on it ?

Kindly regards.

Well I have some issue to get all the item from a given host.

I managed to get all the item from a host with these function :
def get_total_items_by_template(template_id): #Works fine, to be used to set up other
response = zapi.item.get({
"output": "extend",
"templateids": template_id,
"countOutput": True
})
return response

But I can not parse all the item by batch from the template.
I try it with a function like this


def get_items_by_template_batching(template_id, total_items):
total_items = int(total_items)
items = []
start = 0
limit = 500
while True:
print("Items from ", start, " - ", limit+start , "over ",total_items)
response = zapi.item.get({
"output": "extend",
"templateids": template_id,
"limit": limit,
"start": start
})
items += [item["itemid"] for item in response]
start += limit
if (len(items) >= total_items):
break
return items[:total_items]

But it returns me a list of item
