Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way to create group of user group?

What i want to achieve is to create an action that send an email to a group of user group.

Why? Because when i add a new user group, i only add it in the "main group" and not modify or create an action. Lets explain a bit more

For example, my host groups :

HG_Group
HG_Group/France
HG_Group/France/Paris
-----------------------------------Host 1
-----------------------------------Host 2
HG_Group/France/Lyon
-----------------------------------Host 3
-----------------------------------Host 4
HG_Group/Italy
HG_Group/Italy/Rome/
--------------------------------Host 5
--------------------------------Host 6
HG_Group/Germany
HG_Group/Germany/Berlin/
----------------------------------------Host 7
----------------------------------------Host 8
...

And for my users

UG_Users
UG_Users/France
UG_Users/France/Paris
----------------------------------User 1
----------------------------------User 2
UG_Users/France/Lyon
-----------------------------------User 3
-----------------------------------User 4
UG_Users/Italy
UG_Users/Italy/Rome
--------------------------------User 5
UG_Users/Germany
UG_Users/Germany/Berlin
---------------------------------------User 6
---------------------------------------User 7
...

The user group "UG_Users/France/Paris" has only read access to "HG_Group/France/Paris"
The user group "UG_Users/France/Lyon" has only read access to "HG_Group/France/Lyon"
Etc...

In this example, a user can't be in more than one user group and a host can't be in more than one host group!

And here is the problem, I wan't to configure an Action that send email to users according to their read permission. (Eg if a new trigger on HG_Group/France/Lyon=>Host 3 then only users in group UG_Users/France/Lyon =>User 3, User 4 are notified)

What I did when creating the action :

In Condition :

Host group = HG_Group

In operation, Operation details,

Operation type : Send message
Send to User groups : UG_Users

Unfortunately, this doesn't work and no email are sent (i think because UG_Users is empty)

Am i doing it the wrong way, or is there a little trick / workaround to achieve this?

Thanks for helping me

[Edit] I use Zabbix 3.2.6

in the action were you choose UG_Users you can chosse all other groups ?
how did you create sub group in a group ?

Yes I can do that, and it works well, but the thing is, when I add a new user group, i have to edit the action and add this new user group. It's not a "big deal" but it woul be easier to just add the usergroup under the main " UG_Users"

how did you create sub group in a group ?

For the hosts, I first created HG_Group, then HG_Group/France, then HG_Group/France/Paris, and finally add hosts in the last one

For the users, same way
