Strange use of "Do not keep trends" in official templates

    • Frontend (F), Templates (T)
    • None

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Apply Cisco IOS by SNMP template (for example) to a host
      2. Let zabbix discover Power Supplies (for example) and collect values for 3 days
      3. Clic on Latest data
      4. Click on Graph near to a power supply item
      5. Select now-3d in the time filter

      Result:

      • The graph is empty and legend shows "no data". 
      • Users complain because they can't see graphs for periods > last 2 days.

      Expected:

      • The graph shows the item values for the 3 days (which actually are in the database, because item history is 7d).

      Cause:

      • The template has this item prototype configured with "Do not keep trends".
      • Zabbix frontend uses trends to generate graphs for periods larger than 2 days.
      • Thus these graphs cannot be generated.

      Additional note:

      Several items in recente official templates have "Do not keep trends", while there seems to be no reason to use this setting.
