3 Templates

3 Templates

Overview

Templates are exported with many related objects and object relations.

Template export contains:

Linked template groups
Linked host groups (if used in host prototype configuration)
Template data
Linkage to other templates
Linkage to template groups
Directly linked items
Directly linked triggers
Directly linked graphs
Directly linked dashboards
Directly linked discovery rules with all prototypes
Directly linked web scenarios
Value maps

Exporting

To export templates, do the following:

Go to Data collection → Templates.
Mark the checkboxes of the templates to export.
Click on Export below the list.

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

zabbix_export_templates.yaml - in YAML export (default option for export);
zabbix_export_templates.xml - in XML export;
zabbix_export_templates.json - in JSON export.

Importing

To import templates, do the following:

Go to: Data collection → Templates.
Click on Import to the right.
Select the import file.
Click on Import.

If you mark the Advanced options checkbox, a detailed list of all importable elements will be displayed - mark or unmark each import rule as required.

If you click the checkbox in the All row, all elements below it become marked/unmarked.

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.
Delete missing	The import will remove existing elements not present in the import file. Otherwise, it will not remove them. If Delete missing is marked for Template linkage, current template linkage not present in the import file will be unlinked. Entities (items, triggers, graphs, etc.) inherited from the unlinked templates will not be removed (unless the Delete missing option is selected for each entity as well).

On the next screen, you will be able to view the content of a template being imported. If this is a new template all elements will be listed in green. If updating an existing template, new template elements are highlighted in green; removed template elements are highlighted in red; elements that have not changed are listed on a gray background.

The menu on the left can be used to navigate through the list of changes. Section Updated highlights all changes made to existing template elements. Section Added lists new template elements. The elements in each section are grouped by element type; press on the gray arrow down to expand or collapse the group of elements.

Review template changes, then press Import to perform template import. A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
