Overview
Media types are exported with all related objects and object relations.
Exporting
To export media types, do the following:
- Go to: Alerts → Media types
- Mark the checkboxes of the media types to export
- Click on Export below the list
Depending on the selected format, media types are exported to a local file with a default name:
- zabbix_export_mediatypes.yaml - in YAML export (default option for export)
- zabbix_export_mediatypes.xml - in XML export
- zabbix_export_mediatypes.json - in JSON export
Importing
To import media types, do the following:
- Go to: Alerts → Media types
- Click on Import to the right
- Select the import file
- Mark the required options in import rules
- Click on Import
Import rules:
Rule | Description |
---|---|
Update existing | Existing elements will be updated with data taken from the import file. Otherwise they will not be updated. |
Create new | The import will add new elements using data from the import file. Otherwise it will not add them. |
A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
