    Host Prototype from host Prototypes

    Hi All.
    I'm looking to implement monitoring of our Unifi Controller. I've been using the template from here (https://github.com/MassimilianoPasqu..._unifi_network), which works well for a single site, but we have multiple within our controller.
    Using this template I was able to get the details and it was able to create the host prototype items for each of the access points.

    I created a new template that does a site discovery, and from there creates the host prototype for each of the site, this new host, then has the prototype items for the unifi access point discovery. Unfortunately This never seems to work and create the additional hosts for me.

    I've compared all the details (e.g. Macro's) and they are identical
    When I create my host manually and assign the Unifi Network Template, it will discover and create my Acces Point Hosts
    when I create my hosts via Prototype, it assigns the Unifi Network Template, but it never seems to discover and create my Access point hosts.

    My query is there something that is preventing it from creating prototypes from a prototype? Or is there a way to log why the prototype's aren't beeing created when it's the same parent template and the Data in both (JSON) seems the same?

    The very last line... (yea, whoever reads things to the end...)
    Zabbix does not support nested host prototypes, that is, host prototypes on hosts discovered by low-level discovery rules.

        Not to worry... I have been there, done that... Reading diagonally over the page and skipping important things... raise the hand, who hasn't done this..
