Host defined macro in trigger and graph names

[spincon]

Hello,

i am exploring the use of macro in my templates but i am facing an issue, the host defined macro are not replaced in trigger names and graph names ??

Is it the way it should work or is there someting i am doing bad ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

According to documentation (http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../config/macros), host level macros {$MACRO} are supported in trigger names but not map labels.

Thanks for your reply,

did you succeed in setting a trigger name with a host defined macro ?

When i receive an alert email, the topic is
MGAIABDDDEV - Oracle - {$SID2} - Deadlock detected: PROBLEM
but {$SID2} is set in the host parameters... So i do not understand...

Just checked in 1.8.3:
I have modified my ping trigger description:

Ping failed on {HOSTNAME} (Timeout : {$ICMPPING_TIMEOUT})

({$ICMPPING_TIMEOUT} is defined in my 'icmpping' template)

In Monitoring->Events and Monitoring->Triggers I see:

Ping failed on myserver (Timeout : {$ICMPPING_TIMEOUT})

Obviously, {HOSTNAME} is replaced but {$ICMPPING_TIMEOUT} is not.

So there is a bug either in Zabbix code or documentation.

Time to open a bug report ?

Thanks for your reply,

i've checked on zabbix site and this issue should be resolved in 1.8.4...
