Description of request

Thanks to @dkirwan we have a Zabbix proxy in Openshift (as an operator) and initial monitoring for the Forge. Great work!

The UI-side for Zabbix is all manual for now, however - the hosts, hostgroups, templates, and macros were all created manually.

We need to design some Ansible tasks we can add to the openshift-apps playbooks to deal with this. As these hosts are "virtual" (that is, they do not exist in the inventory) we cannot use the standard path of putting data in host_vars.

These seems relatively solvable using some standard tasks (or even an include) and data in the vars/ directory for a given app. I will look into it soon, hopefully.
