    Template distribution to many Zabbix instances

    Hello,

    for certain reasons we have several Zabbix instances. When changing a template we have to do this separately on each instance. This of course isn't a good solution.
    So I thought about using the export/import function. But actually this doesn't work because some changes result in additional items/triggers. For example I did the following Test:
    1. The template has an item "Testitem" with the key "icmpping[]
    2. Changed the item key to icmpping[]
    3. Export the template into a XML file
    4. Import the XML file into one of the other Zabbix instances
    5. Finally the template has two items named "Testitem" but with different keys.

    Of course when importing the XML file I can select if missing things shall be remove. But if this is done, also the complete history will be removed. So this isn't a solution.

    Do you have any better idea to do this?

    Regards,
    Pascal

      Items uniqueness criteria is the item key so you can have multiple keys with the same name.

      But sorry for being stupid - what are you trying to achieve?
