In ZBXNEXT-2156 support for creating hosts without interface was added. However, there are some places that still require a Host Interface even though it isn't used such as in External Checks and Simple Checks.
It would be nice if these checks no longer require a Host Interface, which is already the case for other non-agent checks like "HTTP Agent".

[ZBXNEXT-6406] Do not require Host Interface for External / Simple Checks
Maybe it's also good to think about having a item were the data is gathered by another host.
For example. If u have a UPS with USB and IP. It would be nice to display the items gathered by a host where the USB is connected on the UPS host. This makes it more transparent for the user to find the needed data.
I had an issue today, probably caused by this function.
When I detached and then re-attached the "Template Module ICMP Ping" template the 3 items come back as "not supported" stating "Ping item must have target or host interface specified". When looking at the item at host level there is indeed no interface present
I can't change the value of "host interface".
But, when I look at the host, an interface is present!
So it seems it ignores the already present interfaces on host level.
*Edit
Running on Zabbix version 6.4 alpha 1
Disabled interface fixed in ZBX-21000. 6.4beta2 not released yet.
We are also forced to create dummy interfaces for hosts with only one "External check" item.
Please remove this unnecessary requirement.
