Using Macros in Calculated Items

[adaker]

I have a situation where I need to use a macro for a hostname in a calculated field. For example:

last(/{$HOST_NAME}/icmpping)

I keep getting the following error.

Invalid parameter "/1/params": incorrect expression starting from "last(/{$HOST_NAME}/icmpping)".

Am I doing this wrong, or is it not possible.

Thanks in advance.

Shortly.. no, you cannot use user macro in such place. Would it be a constant in math operation, then yes, but for pointing to some random server it is not going to work...

This behavior is very strange, but I found that macros can be expanded by creating calculated items dynamically using LLD rules and using Javascipt .

A small example is here: https://github.com/pavlozt/somezabbi...affic_7.0.yaml
