Sometimes you're really needed in passive checks, but there is no ready-to-use template available. E.g., we should use active checks for temporary cloud instances while we use passive checks for static infrastructure. Currently zabbix 5.0LTS suports not so much conditions in active check actions, so we can't use them for static infrasctructure.

While I don't agree with

I'm fine with including a passive version of the template when it is not possible to use active items.

But active items should always be used whenever possible since they are better in every way.

Also the new template is only compatible for Zabbix 5.0+ (we aim to support the current LTS, which are 4.0 and 5.0) and it has the same name as the active one.

I think a better strategy is to have a template with a different name, this way anyone can import both and use one or the other whenever needed.

I have made it once again in Zabbix 4.4. Probably it can be imported to 4.0 (we have no this one to test). Anyway you can not to accept my pool request, but some people (including me) spent some time understanding why there is no data after template import. This is instead of 'just download and use' ;)

You may publish it in telegram channels https://t.me/sds_ru and https://t.me/ru_zfs and it will increase chances to test it.
