Issue when using IP URLs in monitors on Zabbix 7.0.16
I want my ec2 instances to monitor that they can reach the ec2 instance metadata URL. The url for the metadata service is: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
I'm trying to create a web.page.regexp item since the monitored host is the one that has to make the request. However, when I try to save the item, I'm unable to and at the top of that screen I get 'Unexpected server error'. I have tried other IP based urls for resources in our network, with the same outcome: not able to save the item, same error.
If I try using a fqdn in the url I can save the item just fine, but not an IP based URL, regardless of what the IP is.
Keep in mind that I can successfully test the item in a monitored host using zabbix_get:
Is this a bug in Zabbix 7.0.16? I'm only asking because in the Zabbix Reddit someone indicated they have no issues adding IP based URLs, but they are on 7.0.18. I looked at the release notes for 7.0.17 and 7.0.18 but don't seem to see anything related to it. I'm not able to update at this time so just looking for some sort of confirmation.
