Are there any plans/chans to have host-based aggregated metrics (in additrion to host-group-based ones) which will use items-to-applications relations or item-key-matching-wildcard logic?
In my 5 year intensive practice there were no any cases where i need to use some metrics aggregated by host group. But there were many cases, wheen i have to calculate some host metric based on some other host metrics, which was created dynamically by LLD. And in all that cases i had to write some perl script and send new aggregated metric value to zabbix trappers.
So i'm in doubt, why in Zabbix 4.0.1, after 5 years from Zabbix 2.0, i still have to write scripts to calculate aggregated items on hosts? Why i can't create, for example, calculated metric expressioned as << sum("^vfs.file.size("/DATA[0-9]")", "regexp") >>?
It will be very good to add support for items aggregated by several criterious, not only relation to hosts in the same host group.
What are you thinking about, dear Zabbix developers and users?
