Graph Linkage when defining a new host based on a template

[jporter1]

Hi. I'm having some problems in linking graphs of newly created hosts to a template. This is the first time I've used Zabbix so I'm not sure if it's a bug or just me

Here's what I'm doing (Zabbix 1.1alpha11 on Fedora Core 4):

I create 2 hosts based on the host.unix template and then under the hosts/template linkage link these hosts to the items, triggers, actions, graphs, screens..etc of the host.unix template.

I then go to the graphs tabs and define several graphs measuring parameters for the hosts.unix host and as expected these graphs then appear for the 2 hosts I have defined. Great!

However, when I create a 3rd host based on the host.unix template and again use the host/template linkage to link this to the host.unix items, triggers, screens etc the graphs don't appear for this new host - only new graphs that are then added to the hosts.unix graph template.

Also, changes to the graphs already defined for host.unix (colors etc) are not replicated through to the actual host graphs.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour or if not can anyone please provide any pointers as to where I might be going wrong?

Does anyone know if Alexei plans to add linkage for screens in the future?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. very impressed with what I have seen of Zabbix so far!

The functionality is not fully implemented in 1.1alpha12. I plan to fix all outstanding issues related to host-templates linakage in the next release, ZABBIX 1.1beta1.

Ok no problem - glad it wasn't just me.

Thanks for replying so quick. Keep up the good work.
