Latest value in e-mail in 1.1 with templates.

[Philippe]

Hello,

I made the step from 1.0 to 1.1.
Things seem to work and i am using templates that i link to the hosts.
Now, i have several actions (which work fine) but in version 1.0 i could use "latest value" (in ACtions, in Triggers).
This is important because i monitor temperature and raid systems etc so the latest value is pretty important in my e-mail.

But how do i do it with version 1.1 ?
i tried to add the name of the template but that's not working.

example:

{TRIGGER.NAME}:
Trigger is {STATUS}

Temperature is {zabbix_Environmental_Monitoring:enterprises.last( 0)}

{HOSTNAME} IP address = {IPADDRESS}

Date = {DATE}
Time = {TIME}




"zabbix_Environmental_Monitoring" is the name of the template, but i have about 10 sensors in 10 computerrooms.
How can i add latest value without making a new action for every sensor, because that was the point of the new template idea, right ?

thnx,
Verus.

Is there nobody that can answer this question ?
someone of the development team please ?

I think this is an important question, especially because it was important data in zabbix 1.0 and if it is not possible in 1.1 without making a new trigger/action for every host that you want the latest value, then i think that zabbix 1.1 lost some of its best values! (i send sms with that latest values)
One of the important features in 1.1 was to use less actions/triggers and have a better functionality (like people told me).
In 1.0 you could make a template and import that template to use with new hosts, so you had more triggers/actions but with more functionality.
