Overview

The item list for a host can be accessed from Data collection → Hosts by clicking on Items for the respective host.

A list of existing items is displayed.

Displayed data:

Column	Description
Item menu	Click on the three-dot icon to open the menu for the specific item with these options: Latest data - see latest data of the item Create trigger - create a trigger based on this item Triggers - click to see a list with links to already-configured trigger of this item Create dependent item - create a dependent item for this item Create dependent discovery rule - create a dependent discovery rule for this item
Host	Host of the item. This column is displayed only if multiple hosts are selected in the filter.
Name	Name of the item displayed as a blue link to item details. Clicking on the item name link opens the item configuration form. If the host item belongs to a template, the template name is displayed before the item name as a gray link. Clicking on the template link will open the item list on the template level. If the item has been created from an item prototype, its name is preceded by the low-level discovery rule name, in orange. Clicking on the discovery rule name will open the item prototype list.
Triggers	Moving the mouse over Triggers will display an infobox displaying the triggers associated with the item. The number of the triggers is displayed in gray.
Key	Item key is displayed.
Interval	Frequency of the check is displayed. Note that passive items can also be checked immediately by pushing the Execute now button.
History	How many days item data history will be kept is displayed.
Trends	How many days item trends history will be kept is displayed.
Type	Item type is displayed (Zabbix agent, SNMP agent, simple check, etc).
Status	Item status is displayed - Enabled, Disabled or Not supported. You can change the status by clicking on it - from Enabled to Disabled (and back); from Not supported to Disabled (and back).
Tags	Item tags are displayed. Up to three tags (name:value pairs) can be displayed. If there are more tags, a “…” link is displayed that allows to see all tags on mouseover.
Info	If the item is working correctly, no icon is displayed in this column. In case of errors, a square icon with the letter “i” is displayed. Hover over the icon to see a tooltip with the error description.

To configure a new item, click on the Create item button at the top right corner.

Mass editing options

Buttons below the list offer some mass-editing options:

Enable - change item status to Enabled
Disable - change item status to Disabled
Execute now - execute a check for new item values immediately. Supported for passive checks only (see more details). Note that when checking for values immediately, configuration cache is not updated, thus the values will not reflect very recent changes to item configuration.
Clear history - delete history and trend data for items.
Copy - copy the items to other hosts or templates.
Mass update - update several properties for a number of items at once.
Delete - delete the items.

To use these options, mark the checkboxes before the respective items, then click on the required button.

Using filter

You can use the filter to display only the items you are interested in. For better search performance, data is searched with macros unresolved.

The Filter icon is available at the top right corner. Clicking on it will open a filter where you can specify the desired filtering criteria.

Parameter	Description
Host groups	Filter by one or more host groups. Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups. Host groups containing templates only cannot be selected.
Hosts	Filter by one or more hosts.
Name	Filter by item name.
Key	Filter by item key.
Value mapping	Filter by the value map used. This parameter is not displayed if the Hosts option is empty.

Tags	Specify tags to limit the number of items displayed. It is possible to include as well as exclude specific tags and tag values. Several conditions can be set. Tag name matching is always case-sensitive. There are several operators available for each condition: Exists - include the specified tag names Equals - include the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive) Contains - include the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive) Does not exist - exclude the specified tag names Does not equal - exclude the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive) Does not contain - exclude the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive) There are two calculation types for conditions: And/Or - all conditions must be met, conditions having the same tag name will be grouped by the Or condition Or - enough if one condition is met
State	Filter by item state - Normal or Not supported.
Status	Filter by item status - Enabled or Disabled.

The Subfilter below the filter offers further filtering options (for the data already filtered). You can select groups of items with a common parameter value. Upon clicking on a group, it gets highlighted and only the items with this parameter value remain in the list.
