zabbix_host_groups not working as expected about ansible-zabbix-agent

[jimsmith]

Update: this solution worked for me incase anyone else runs into it (not the best but works!)

I added another variable called: zbx_server_host_group

     zabbix_host_groups:
     - Linux servers
     - '{{ zbx_server_host_group }}'

I am passing an environment on the CLI as follows [note quotations is needed to parse over properly]:

ZBX_SERVER_HOST_GROUP="Test Servers"

then I simply pass -e on the ansible-playbook command.

-e "zbx_server_host_group='$ZBX_SERVER_HOST_GROUP'"

This creates the zabbix host group within the zabbix server and I can see the server added both into the Linux servers group and also the Test Servers

changed: [192.168.1.229 -> 127.0.0.1] => {"changed": true, "result": "Successfully created host group(s): ['Test Servers']"}

and when another server comes along that is part of the Test Servers group, it does not get recreated and adds both into the Linux servers and Test Servers groups.

ok: [192.168.1.43 -> 127.0.0.1] => {"changed": false}
