 Description   

Hi

i am sure it as already been asked. but it would be great to had a description fiels also for Host Groups

It does not exist yet , and it could lead to many differents uses for extrenal script , external Front end , etc ....
Or simply for better identification of the role of the host group.

seems easy and really usefull for me.

Thanks again for great job.

I believe this is a first time that such a feature is requested.

Really sad that this feature has not been implemented yet.

It looks very easy to add, with minimal impact on database and other features.

In large installations we need to document the purpose of each hostgroup on external systems  (was it created for permissions? for alerting? for dashboards?) which is a real burden.

Zabbix configuration should allow some kind of auto-documenting.
