Steps to reproduce:
- Why Host groups with identical names are allowed?
- What was the idea behind this?
- Host Groups logically should be as unique identifiers (as host name, as item key)
- Now I got Zabbix API JSON string with Hosts and related Groups, but because of "allowed duplicates" I will need to implement ugly logic to search for and automatically rename duplicate names.
- With duplicate group names I can't simply take Zabbix API output and build build new JSON for LLD rule, because it will throw error that item prototype already exists.
- Consider making host groups as unique identifiers. There seem to be no benefit of allowing duplicates. This only mess up things.
- The existing duplicates (which are already added to db) may stay, but "new Host Group add" function could further not allow making duplicate host groups.
