Can you add Items to a host group directly in Zabbix?

In Zabbix, items are specific configurations meant to monitor metrics or perform actions related to hosts. However, items cannot be directly added to a host group. Instead, items are always associated with individual hosts. Each host can have one or more items defined, and these items represent the actual data points being monitored on the host.

Host groups serve organizational purposes by grouping similar hosts together for easier management and visualization. While you can manage host groups by adding or removing hosts within them, the actual items need to be configured on a per-host basis. This structure emphasizes the hierarchy where hosts belong to groups, but the monitoring configuration for those hosts is separated from the group level.

The incorrect options often suggest conditions or methods that misrepresent how the architecture of Zabbix operates or imply functionality that does not exist within the system's design. Understanding the distinction between host groups and items is essential for effectively utilizing Zabbix in monitoring environments.
