How to substitute hostname in zabbix?

Question

linux

Good afternoon. There are many machines. I want to upload the Zabbix-agent config to them through ansible.
And the config has a hostname parameter - how can I substitute it / replace it by putting the hostname of the machine there?
I understand that with the help of let's say sed, but I don't know how to form the replacement string correctly

Since you need to not only copy the file to the target machine, but also change certain content in it, then use the Ansible template module .
The machine name can be inserted into the config template using the special variable {{ ansible_hostname }} substitution construct .
