Zabbix Synology renames ICMP ping to Template Module ICMP Ping

[jsommerville]

I am running Zabbix 6.0, when importing the template_synology_diskstation it renames "ICMP ping" template to "Template Module ICMP Ping". It also links the template to Synology Diskstation.
This breaks the ICMP ping link to other templates. This then breaks all my other dash boards.

How do I keep this from happening?

Wonderful world of UUID-s in templates. I guess someone took "Template Module ICMP Ping", renamed it to "ICMP ping" and continued to use it... Synology template probably has links to the original "Template Module ICMP Ping" (or even comes with it). So now, when you import a template, it finds something already existing with same UUID-s and tries to overwrite those things... This is a mess.. You could rewrite all the uuid-s in the template (yaml) file before importing..:P I once wrote a little shell script for that..

#!/usr/bin/bash
pat="uuid: [0-9a-z]{32}"
IFS=''
while read -r line
do
if [[ "$line" =~ $pat ]]
then
newuuid=`uuidgen -r | sed 's/-//g'`
newline=`echo "$line" | sed 's/[0-9a-z]\{32\}/'$newuuid'/'`
echo "$newline" >> template_out.yaml
else
echo "$line" >> template_out.yaml
fi
done

Call it “script.sh < template.yaml” and it replaces all uuid-s.
