User macros per template

[mario.almeida]

Hi All,

How can I have User macros (UM) per template.

The macro should be unique per template and not global.

eg:
Create 2 templates as below.

Template-00
UM: {$USER}=aares00
UM: {$HTTP_PORT}=8080
UM: {$JNP_PORT}=1099

Template-01
UM: {$USER}=aares01
UM: {$HTTP_PORT}=8180
UM: {$JNP_PORT}=1199

Create a host name web2

Add Template-00 and Tempalte-01 to host web2

Go to template-00 and add an Item with a key having {$USER} in it.

Up to here successful.

Problem 1:-
Got to Template-01 and add an item with a key having {$USER}.

Error message
An item with the Key [key.func[{$USER}]] already exists for host <hostname>

Problem 2:-
Go to Template-00 add a trigger and in the name put {$USER}
Go to Template-01 add a trigger and in the name put {$USER}

When you go to Monitoring->Triggers and in the display list under names you will find the 1st UM name for both the triggers.

Is it possible to have UM per template?
If not then when saving the next template it should alert that UM with this name already exist.

Hi All,

Any Idea?

[DeDA]

I have the issue like described above.

I've created 2 templates:

Template-1:
Macro: {$NAME} => ONE
Item key: get_cpu_load[{$NAME}]

Template-2:
Macro: {$NAME} => TWO
Item key: get_mem_load[{$NAME}]

Template-3:
Linked with: Template-1, Template-2

Host-1:
Linked with: Template-3.

Issue description:
User macro {$NAME} under the host "Host-1" is equal to "ONE" (user macro from Template-1) for data item "get_mem_load", that's incorrect.

Any ideas to resolve that?
