Use field name as zabbix item key?

[a-nanasov]

Hello, is it possible to send metric to Zabbix using its field name as item key?
For instance, I use grok to parse log string and get ~ 10 metrics from it, every metric goes into field which is already named the same as a key in Zabbix.
Then, I need to create ~ 10 additional metadata fields only to keep key names for these metrics.
This doesn't make sense and makes configuration file much more complex. I would like to send metrics with the keys same as the names of the corresponding fields. Or at least specify key name statically in the multi_value option. It that possible?

Thanks in advance.

It might be, but I won't be able to work on this directly for many weeks. If you'd like to see such a change sooner:

1. You will see it sooner if you do it yourself, and submit a pull request
2. Any such change must not break existing functionality, as an update would break usage for others
