I have Zabbix Server and 3000 hosts on which I want to control the current firmware version.

How it is done now: I create an item (type HTTP agent) in the template, which receives the current firmware number from the supplier’s server. There is a trigger that will check the version on my host and the version from the provider. If they differ, an alert is issued.

*What is the problem: *Now Zabbix Server creates 3,000 HTTP requests to the provider server. This can be regarded as an attack.

Suggestion: To make it possible to create dependent Items in templates from other Hosts (not templates).

What will help to solve:

• To avoid 3000 HTTP requests, there will be 1 request.
• Reduce junk data

If the master item is removed from the host, the dependent will become unsupport, and this functionality already exists.
