Notes
Note
- Too many concurrent updates to the same group may cause Zabbix to return errors, see examples for a workaround if needed.
 - If you use login_password=zabbix, the word “zabbix” is replaced by “****” in all module output, because login_password uses 
no_log. See this FAQ for more information.
