How to Remove Hosts from Zabbix Template

templatezabbix

I have removed a bunch of servers from a template, but all the items and triggers from the template remained in the server configurations.

Questions

Is there a way how to unlink hosts form a template and delete all it's items and triggers?
When I already did remove some hosts from a template, leaving all items and triggers in all affected hosts from the template, is there a way to remove them in some easy way? I cannot imagine doing it one by one.

the answer of @mschuett is correct. You should Unlink and clear.
to remove the untemplated items from your hosts, you can filter on each host by Not templated items, select all and delete.

If there are many hosts in that situation, it's better to create a group for all of them, select the Host group and filter again.

Zabbix network interface app shows no items for CentOS VM

These network items appeared on "Zabbix Ubuntu" due to a Zabbix feature called low-level discovery.

If you go to "Discovery rules" on either of these hosts, you will see "Mounted filesystem discovery" and "Network interface discovery". Network items are created by the latter rule. This discovery rule runs once per hour by default, this might be one of the reasons you did not see network items on "Zabbix Centos" straight away. However, by the time this answer reaches you, you should probably already have them.

Zabbix auto remove unreachable host

I used trigger value to remove host from zabbix, checck if below code works for you as well:

from zabbix_api import ZabbixAPI, Already_Exists
z = ZabbixAPI(server="https://zabbix.example.com/zabbix")
z.login("exampleuser", "exampleuser")
for trigger in z.trigger.get({"output": [ "triggerid", "description", "priority" ], "filter": { "value": 1 }, "sortfield": "priority", "sortorder": "DESC"}):
    if trigger["description"] == 'Zabbix agent on {HOST.NAME} is unreachable for 5 minutes':
        trigmsg = z.trigger.get({"triggerids": trigger["triggerid"], "selectHosts": "extend"})
        for tm in trigmsg:
            for l in tm['hosts']:
                print l['name'], l['hostid']
                print "Will kill host " + l['hostid'] + " " + l['host'] + trigger["description"]
                z.host.delete( [int(l['hostid'])] )
