Web scenario doesn't resolve hostname??

[radamand]

I've set up a web scenario using the hostname of my webserver in the URL;

http://{hostname}:8070/network_monitoring/servlet/network_monitoring

Using this all I get is "Unable to resolve hostname", even though I can do an "nslookup {hostname}" on the zabbix server and it resolves just fine.

I need to use the hostname in the URL because the site is load balanced with an IP that changes.

Why won't zabbix resolve the hostname?

nobody knows?

Obviously it is because macros are not supported in the URL.

Thats amazing considering I have other scenarios that also use macros in the URLs and they work just fine.....

if you remove the macro string in the 'working url' does that still provide a valid website url?
For example: http://{MACRO}.google.com/ -> http://.google.com (which will probably still work).

If I removed the macro the URL would be changed to:

http://:8070/network_monitoring/serv...ork_monitoring

Hardly a valid URL...
