Using a macro in the URL of a trigger

[nate015]

I would like to use macros in the URL of a trigger so that I can automatically splunk an issue.

For example something like:

https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000/?q=host%3D{HOSTNAME}2%20starthoursago%3D24&selStar t=false&selEnd=false

where it would replace {HOSTNAME} with the hostname from the trigger. Of course, if we could pass any macro in we could do some really powerful stuff with zabbix and splunk. I can't find this functionality in the manual or on the forums, is it already possible some other way? If not can it be considered for a future release?

Bump.


Zabbix is great.

Does no one else think this would be a great feature?

[Kai-Kai]

Yes. I do think it could be really interesting.
But I don't know any way to do that... that's why I didn't answer this topic before.

Somehow the "Name" field in the triggers transforms the macros, I would assume the URL field could be designed similarly?

[Kai-Kai]

I think it's not currently implemented.
But it can be a great idea for the next version...

I tried to modify triggers.php to no avail. I will have to leave it to one of the zabbix pro developers.

Thanks for making me not feel alone fcge.

It was a real pleasure.

Just in case someone wants to add this to 1.8.1 release:

Here is a quick patch. I've only added {HOSTNAME} and {HOST.DNS} as vaild options here, but its pretty simple to add more items. You just have to figure out the trigger array format.
