Re: [Zabbix-developers] Automatic addition/removal of hosts

[<bge...@ta...>]

The zabbix schema is complex enough that I wouldn't recommend editing the
database. The easiest way is to use wget or curl to post the data the
right web page. You can find out what data fields are needed by looking at
the url, html source and/or the php source.
