Footnotes

1 Macros for map labels are supported since 1.8.

2 The {HOST.*} macros supported in item key parameters will resolve to the interface that is selected for the item. When used in items without interfaces they will resolve to either the Zabbix agent, SNMP, JMX or IPMI interface of the host in this order of priority, since Zabbix 3.2.2. In Zabbix 3.2.0, 3.2.1 they will not resolve when used in items without interfaces e.g. "Zabbix agent (active)", "Calculated" etc.

3 In remote commands, global scripts, interface IP/DNS fields and web scenarios the macro will resolve to the main agent interface, however, if it is not present, the main SNMP interface will be used. If SNMP is also not present, the main JMX interface will be used. If JMX is not present either, the main IPMI interface will be used.

4 Only the avg, last, max and min functions, with seconds as parameter are supported in this macro in map labels.

5 Supported since 2.0.3.

6 Supported since Zabbix 2.2.0. {HOST.*} macros are supported in web scenario Name, Variables, Headers, SSL certificate file and SSL key file fields and in scenario step Name, URL, Post, Headers and Required string fields.

7 Supported since Zabbix 2.2.0. Only the avg, last, max and min functions, with seconds as parameter are supported within this macro in graph names. The {HOST.HOST<1-9>} macro can be used as host within the macro. For example:

 * {Cisco switch:ifAlias[{#SNMPINDEX}].last()}
        * %%{{%%HOST.HOST}:ifAlias[{#SNMPINDEX}].last()}

8 Supported since 2.4.0.

9 While supported to build trigger expressions, simple macros may not be used inside each other.

10 Supported since 3.0.0.

Indexed macros

The indexed macro syntax of {MACRO<1-9>} is limited to the context of trigger expressions. It can be used to reference hosts in the order in which they appear in the expression. Macros like {HOST.IP1}, {HOST.IP2}, {HOST.IP3} will resolve to the IP of the first, second and third host in the trigger expression (providing the trigger expression contains those hosts).

Additionally the {HOST.HOST<1-9>} macro is also supported within the {host:key.func(param)} macro in graph names. For example, {{HOST.HOST2}:key.func()} in the graph name will refer to the host of the second item in the graph.

Use macros without index (i. e.{HOST.HOST}, {HOST.IP}, etc) in all other contexts.
