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

I understand that in this case master item will receive firmware version for all 3000 of hosts from some HTTP data source, correct? |

Yes, correct. The goal is to reduce the number of "external" requests. |

The issue is still open so I am afraid there is no solution yet. Thanks for your earlier feedback anyway. |
