Assigning multiple templates to a single host

[Yoglets]

Is it possible to assign multiple templates to a single host? I don't see any way to do this in 1.1.6. For example, I have a template named "Unix_Server" which checks basic things like memory usage, disk space usage, and CPU utilization. Then I have other templates like "Web_Server" or "Database_Server" which include additional checks. So for a Unix machine that's running a web server and a database server, I want to apply all three templates. It doesn't seem I can do this though, and so I'm forced to apply one, and then individually add each extra check from the other templates.

Greetings,

Yes and no. Yes, it is still doable, however, it is not supported. Unfortunately to do it, you need to manually modify the hosts_templates table in the Zabbix DB. Even then, it will only work for hosts added after the DB is altered.

This functionality actually existed and was supported until sometime around Zabbix 1.1.2 when it inexplicably disappeared and was replaced by the new template system.

Support of multiple templates is already implemented in 1.3.x (pre 1.4).
