Notes¶
Note
Too many concurrent updates to the same group may cause Zabbix to return errors, see examples for a workaround if needed.
If you use login_password=zabbix, the word “zabbix” is replaced by “****” in all module output, because login_password uses
no_log
. See this FAQ for more information.
