How do autodiscover hosts and get them added to a Host Group?

[chainsman]

I'm trying to autodiscover hosts and get them added to a Host Group. I have tried using ping, ssh, http(s), and telnet. The hosts get discovered but never get added to any host group, nor can I find any way to get them added to one.
I'm using Zabbix 6.4.6 on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thanks!

Hello,
I hope this will help you, in my company we use a similar system for AD computers.

We have a GPO that deploys an agent installation script with a keyword "PC". script look like this
"
/i \\<YOUR_SRV_AD>\share\zabbix_agent-6.0.20-windows-amd64-openssl.msi /qn ENABLEREMOTECOMMANDS=1 SERVER=<IP_ZABBIX> ServerActive=<IP_ZABBIX> HOSTNAME=%computerName% HOSTMETADATA=PC
"
And on Zabbix, in configuration > actions > automatic registration action, we've created an action with the name PC and the condition "host metadata contains PC".

As you've probably guess the metadata must be the same.

Then all we had to do was add operations, and after rebooting the PCs, they were added to Zabbix.

Kind regards

Do you have zabbix agent installed on hosts? If yes then you may use the "Zabbix agent" in checks in Discovery rule. You have to also define the Discovery action to assign the group and template to discovered host.

I don't have Zabbix agent installed. I was hoping for a way to get the autodiscovered hosts to be moved into the inventory.
