Hello all:
I am setting up a template with some trapper type items, here is a snippet example:
--snip
<item type="2" key="io_avg_queue[sda]" value_type="0">
<description>IO: sda: avg queue length</description>
<delay>60</delay>
<history>30</history>
<trends>365</trends>
<trapper_hosts>127.0.0.1</trapper_hosts>
<snmp_port>161</snmp_port>
</item>
--snip
My question is since the trapper_hosts value should be the IP address of the zabbix server, is there a macro I can place here, something like $ZABBIXHOST that will translate into the correct IP? Conversely if this template exists on the correct zabbix server does the value of 127.0.0.1 work for trapper items defined on this host? I am actually wondering why this value exists at all, is it because you might have more than one zabbix server in a distributed model?
Thanks!
