 Description   

In some cases, hosts, discovered from host prototypes has it's own entities for discovering, which should be monitored with custom metrics

Use case - ElasticSearch. We got cluster host from the host prototype on the first level and would like to  link the template, which should discover nodes for this cluster, but it is not possible now

Please, add  nested host prototype discovery feature

Is it a duplicate of ZBXNEXT-1527?

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2023 Feb 03 ]

While very related to ZBXNEXT-1527, I'd not say it's a duplicate.

Current limitation has been discussed also in ZBX-14871.

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2023 Feb 03 ]

ZBX-22300 asks at least to document current limitation.

Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2025 Mar 31 ]

Following query can be used to detect if there are discovered hosts by LLD that will have nested host prototypes after upgrade:

select h.hostid,ht.templateid from hosts_templates ht join hosts h on ht.hostid=h.hostid where h.flags=4 and exists (select null from items i,host_discovery hd where i.hostid=ht.templateid and hd.parent_itemid=i.itemid) order by hostid;
