Can templates be linked to a host group in Zabbix?

Templates in Zabbix serve as a means to define a standard set of items, triggers, graphs, and other configurations that can be reused across multiple hosts. However, it is essential to recognize that templates are directly linked to individual hosts, meaning that each host can inherit the configuration specified in the template. This structured approach allows for efficient management and scaling, as any changes made to the template are propagated to all associated hosts.

While groups of hosts can certainly share similar characteristics and configurations through templates, the linking process occurs at the individual host level. This ensures that each host possesses the specific settings assigned to it, allowing for fine-tuned monitoring tailored to each device's unique requirements. Thus, templates cannot be linked to a host group as a collective unit; it is the individual host that receives the template link.
