This software is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0.

For Debian and Ubuntu server, the Zabbix Frontend modules are usually placed in /usr/share/zabbix/modules/.
Copy the folder modules/csv-host-importer to /usr/share/zabbix/modules/csv-host-importer on the Zabbix frontend web server.
Then go to Administration, General, Modules, click Scan directory and enable the new module in the list.
Once the frontend module is activated, a new menu entry Host CSV Importer should appear under Configuration.
Here's an example of two hosts: the first one with Zabbix agent and another with an SNMPv2 agent:
NAME;VISIBLE_NAME;HOST_GROUPS;TEMPLATES;AGENT_IP;AGENT_DNS;SNMP_IP;SNMP_DNS;SNMP_VERSION;DESCRIPTION
example1;Example Host Agent;First host group, second host group;Linux by Zabbix agent;127.0.0.1;localhost;;;;Example Zabbix Agent host
example2;Example Host SNMP;Third host group;Generic SNMP;;;127.0.0.1;localhost;2;Example SNMPv2 host
The following CSV columns are supported:
| Name | Purpose | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| NAME | Host name. | ❌ |
| VISIBLE_NAME | Host visible name. | ✔ |
| HOST_GROUPS | List of host group names, separated by a comma. Missing host groups are created automatically. | ❌ |
| TEMPLATES | List of template names to assign to the host, separated by a comma. Templates must exist with the specified name. | ✔ |
| AGENT_IP | Interface: Zabbix Agent IP address. | ✔ |
| AGENT_DNS | Interface: Zabbix Agent DNS name. | ✔ |
| SNMP_IP | Interface: SNMP IP address. | ✔ |
| SNMP_DNS | Interface: SNMP DNS name. | ✔ |
| SNMP_VERSION | Interface: SNMP version number (1, 2 or 3). | ✔ |
| DESCRIPTION | Host description field. | ✔ |
Additional hints:
- The columns are case-insensitive, so
NAME,nameandNaMeare all valid. - The columns must be in the first line of the CSV file.
- The separator character must be ";".
The CSV file can then be imported in the same menu entry. You get a chance to preview the host list before the actual import.
