Export triggers based on discovered items

[novakm]

Hi everyone.
I tried to search in forum but did not find anything. My setup is following:
- Zabbix 2.0.4 is used for monitoring network switches and routers
- I created template which finds all interfaces and monitors its statistics (status, errors, throughput)

I want to know this information for all these interfaces. More to that, for uplink interfaces I want to be informed if the status changed. So I created the triggers just for these interfaces. So far so good.

Now there is the problem. I exported all hosts to backup the zabbix configuration. I was quite surprised the triggers were not there. I did some testing and my conclusion is that triggers based on items found by discovery rules are not exported.

Is there a way how to workaround this? I tried to create another template with "hardwired" items and made triggers on those hosts. Those triggers are exported.

I tried to unlink the template from host and hoped those items will change to regular items (which would obviously solve the issue). Unfortunately this did not happen

I am looking for either
- way how to convert discovered items to "static" items behaving just like I manually added them
- export all triggers including those based on discovered items

Any advices please?

You'll have to do direct db queries to change the items to "normal" ones. You'll havr to chagne the flags column in the items table to 0 and delete the items from the it discovery table.
