 Description   

IMHO it would be very beneficial to have import/export of discovery rules and actions to xml simply because these represent configuration of automation in ZABBIX. And anybody who spent time configuring ZABBIX would like to have results of such work be easily transferable to another installation.

I use script to import configuration and storage it in GIT. It very sad that i cant store all configuration.

Would be nice to be able to build dev systems without a DB restore and copy these new rules into production without manual effort. Would also be good to store the config in git either manually or ideally using API to automatically back up config with a rollback trail.

Yes, please.
Since everything is headed to "as a code" it will be great if any configurable thing can be managed as a code. Exported/imported/edited...

I want this to make review of changes through git for many similar zabbix installations.

+1 for dimir!

And +1 for this request. I think the discovery part is solved right now (at least, the rules come along, discovered entities not yet but for me that is not too important)
Import/export of actions is more important. Although we've got the API option, it's quite annoying that such a 'basic' thing is not possible native from the frontend... If you have one action: who cares. But typically we've got waaaaaaay more actions and the pain starts.
