6 Media types

Overview

Media types are exported with all related objects and object relations.

Exporting

To export media types, do the following:

Go to Alerts → Media types.
Mark the checkboxes of the media types to export.
Click Export below the list.

Depending on the selected format, media types are exported to a local file with a default name:

zabbix_export_mediatypes.yaml - in YAML export (default option for export);
zabbix_export_mediatypes.xml - in XML export;
zabbix_export_mediatypes.json - in JSON export.

Importing

To import media types, do the following:

Go to Alerts → Media types.
Click Import in the top right corner.
Select the import file.
Mark the required options in import rules.
Click Import in the bottom right corner of the configuration form.

Import rules:

Rule	Description
Update existing	Existing elements will be updated using data from the import file. Otherwise, they will not be updated.
Create new	New elements will be created using data from the import file. Otherwise, they will not be created.

A success or failure message of the import will be displayed in the frontend.
