how do add 200 plus hosts in maintenance , I have the hosts in an excel file.

If you can't use host groups to solve the problem, then I would look at writing a script or program that uses the Zabbix API to put all 200 hosts into maintenance.

Hi Tim,

is there a way , I can import the list directly via Zabbix UI , add it to a host group and them add that group under maintenance?

[tim.mooney]

Not that I'm aware of.

This can be done via the API as Tim said.

You can also mass add all these hosts to a given host group using mass update on filtered host.
Do all these 200 hosts use a common template or do their names have the same prefix or suffix?
If yes go to the Configuration->hosts
Next filter all needed host and use "Mass update" button and add all host to the host group. Next create maintenance for the host group.

Have you checked if the system you're using provides any built-in features, APIs, or automation tools specifically designed to handle bulk maintenance mode operations for a large number of hosts?

What format do you want to export the host data in from the Excel file? (e.g., CSV, JSON, XML)
