zabbix-vsphere-import duplicate hosts #218

Closed zuhairraza closed 6 years ago

zuhairraza commented 7 years ago

Hello Can we have Vsphere.Hostname as prefix in name of Imported VMs? I have couple of servers with same VM names and zabbix doesn't allow same hostname to be added again.

In theory - yes, you can do that. In practice this would not work well, because the Zabbix templates already use the hostname of the VM, so the prefix does not tell anything to vPoller when a new request comes in, since it will not be able to find the vSphere object.

which zabbix template?

Closing this one. If you really need this, please consider opening a PR, so we can follow up there.
