The names and keys of the items and triggers I created with discovery are constantly changing.
When creating a Zabbix map, we show data and alarms by selecting certain items and triggers. The discovered item disappears after a while and a new one is created. In this case, the map becomes meaningless.
If trigger and item selections in Zabbix maps can be selected with regex, this situation will be eliminated. This feature is absolutely necessary, especially in a world where microservice architecture is spreading so quickly.
For example, I wrote a code that monitors the pods of our kubernetes applications' deployment. I send the data to Zabbix as JSON and convert it to an item with Discover. However, when I want to create an application map, I cannot do it because of the constantly changing pod names.
For example, when I want to show an item value, I can show the item data or triggers listed by this regex by writing
/frontendapp.*http.*200/
