Can you guide to set alias name through agent config file.

I use ansible to install agent and I want alias name to be a parameter.

Thanks

I install zabbix agent and pass the zabbix server information in config file through ansible (using ansible parameters)

I want to know if alias name (display name) can be set in config file.

Thanks

If we can set agent display name in agent configuration file.

I automated the agent installation through ansible, I want to pass display name as parameter.
Currently Zabbix dashboard shows the hostname / IP but end user will not know what the server (zabbix agent) is.

you have this option at zabbix agent conf :

### Option: Alias
# Sets an alias for an item key. It can be used to substitute long and complex item key with a smaller and simpler one.
# Multiple Alias parameters may be present. Multiple parameters with the same Alias key are not allowed.
# Different Alias keys may reference the same item key.
# For example, to retrieve the ID of user 'zabbix':
# Alias=zabbix.userid:vfs.file.regexp[/etc/passwd,^zabbix:.[0-9]+),,,,\1]
# Now shorthand key zabbix.userid may be used to retrieve data.
# Aliases can be used in HostMetadataItem but not in HostnameItem parameters.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Range:
# Default:


im sorry i dont seem to have the knowledge that you need , i never used anisble
