Custom macros in keys

[cbichis]

Hi,

I have digged a lot but I still don't understand yet: are custom macros allowed within keys?

I would like to use something like this:
app.status[{$CONFIG}]

Where I want to be able to define the macros at what level I want.

Radio Yerevan answers: Yes, but only one time.

One of the nasties design flaws in Zabbix is the "keys must be unique"-paradigma.

For example: I have a very matured bash-script "check_service", which is called like "check_service(pop3,hostname,port,timeout)". For Zabbix I have to write wrappers like "check_service_pop3(hostname, port, timeout) for about 30 services because of the "keys-must-be-unique" thing.

I don't think that there is a possible solution for your and my "use case".

Thanks Bernd!

Bernd,

I think for some situations - only - can be used custom Low Level Discovery.
