Macro in trigger URL field?

[clarkritchie]

I don't think this is possible, or is it? I read this and this, but testing has not worked...

e.g.

EDIT: I misread you question, and posted a way to solve this in the Inventory URL field, not the trigger URL field..
EDIT2: Using this method, The URL will be available when you click on the hostname in the dashboard and you can use {INVENTORY.URL.A<1-9>} macro's in your trigger based notifications (the URL would be host dependent and not trigger dependent, but maybe this would suffice for you?).


I think, the best way to solve this problem is to create an item in your hosts(-template) which would return the wanted URL and which will populate the URL inventory-field..

Step-by-step:
- Create a script (bash, perl, ruby, whatever..) that simply echo's back any given command-line parameters. make it executable and put it in your externalscripts directory
- Create an item in your host/template of the type external script
-- Refer in this item to the 'echo'-script with parameter "http://www.mysite.com/{HOST.NAME}" (which will work as macro usage in item keys is supported)
-- Make this item populate the URL inventory-field
- Make sure the host inventory settings is set to "Automatic"

You can use this 'echo' script to easily populate other inventory field in the same way.
