 Description   

Adding lots of similar hosts to a network map, creating links and binding triggers to links is a quite boring task.
It would be very convenient to perform these tasks with the power of mass update.

For example, a user goes to Configuration -> Hosts, selects hosts, that should be added to a network map.
Then in Mass update, among all the options, a user will see a new option: "Add to a network map..."
After specifying a map, another new option becomes available: "Create a link with...", so that a user could
choose a map element to link with the selected elements.
Than, if a user selected a map element to create links with, another new option becomes available:
"Add triggers to links", that shows a list of templated triggers, that exist for all of the selected hosts. If the
selected hosts have no common triggers, the list of triggers would be empty.

A better approach would be to have "Add hosts" button or a link in the map configuration form.

We too had a need for adding multiple hosts to a map. Attached is a patch to do so.  There's a new "Map" tab under Mass Update.  When you choose to link to map, you can then select an editable map, specify a default icon for the hosts, and select the existing element in the map that you want the new hosts linked to.  You can apply the patch by going into your /usr/share/zabbix directory and running the following.
