Don't sleep on using Claude for template creation
I have to say, after 48 hours of using Claude with the Fable model on high, the template creation abilities are quite amazing.
Had 3 devices with great MIB support, great documentation, but nothing in the libraries. Knocked out new templates for all of them over the last two days (could have done them all in a day if I weren't hitting usage limits). All you have to do is give it the mibs, an snmpwalk, explain the use cases, triggers, trends, etc. Some minor back and forth after showing it what is triggering and how it's working in the real world, and one template after version 17 is production ready.
This includes a ton of LLD, Trigger prototypes, macros, proper secrets handling, regex, dependancies. The whole shebang.
This would have taken weeks hiring a template designer or trying to do it myself.
Has anyone else been using LLM's to create new templates? I would expect a flurry of activity in the https://github.com/zabbix/community-templates/ but doesn't seem like much going on.
If you've been frustrated with an old template or something not doing what you want, try to throw it at the model and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised.
