XMLWordPrintable

    • Type: Problem report
    • Resolution: Declined
    • Priority: Trivial
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 5.0.8
    • Component/s: Server (S)

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Discover a host using a Discovery Rule
        1. Discovery rule checks for IP range and Discovery Status = Up
      2. Add the host using a Discovery Action
        1. If <Discovery Rule>, Add Host, Add to Group
      3. Change the IP address of the host in your environment
      4. Delete the host from Zabbix

      Result:

      1. Zabbix re-adds the host using the old IP address

      Expected:

      1. Zabbix does not re-add hosts that are not discovered or contactable.
