Overview

    Host export contains:

    • linked host groups

    • host data

    • template linkage

    • host group linkage

    • host interfaces

    • directly linked applications

    • directly linked items

    • directly linked triggers

    • directly linked graphs

    • directly linked discovery rules with all prototypes

    • host inventory data

    • value maps

    Exporting

    To export hosts, do the following:

    • Go to: Configuration → Hosts

    • Mark the checkboxes of the hosts to export

    • Click on Export below the list

    Depending on the selected format, hosts are exported to a local file with a default name:

    • zabbix_export_hosts.yaml - in YAML export (default option for export)

    • zabbix_export_hosts.xml - in XML export

    Importing

    To import hosts, do the following:

    • Go to: Configuration → Hosts

    • Click on Import to the right

    • Select the import file

    • Click on Import

    A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
