Hello
I use extensivly the template system which is a great thing in ZABBIX. I collect a superset of items and triggers in templates.
For example, the template "template1" has the items "item1", "item2" and "item3" which are enabled by default. The hosts "hostA", "hostB" and "hostC" are using "template1" and I configure the state of the items as:
Enabled:
hostA: item1, item2
hostB: item1, item3
hostC: item3
Disabled:
hostA: item3
hostB: item2
hostC: item1, item2
When changing for example the "item1" in the template, its state is enabled on "hostC" again.
Can ZABBIX preserve the states of items and triggers on hosts which has this template already linked ? Maybe a flag to control, if the states should be applied again would be useful.
Or is there a way to make changes without overwriting the item state of the hosts using it ?
