User macros in Web monitoring

[DavisNT]

How to correctly use user macros (defined for Web monitoring scenario) in Required string?
I have tried defining user macro in Variables of Web scenario like this

{macro1}=teststring

and reference it by setting Required string of Step of scenario to

{macro1}

. In result I got Error: required pattern not found when executing that step.

When trying to define user macro in Variables of Web scenario like this

{macro1}=regex:teststring

I got message Error: error in scenario variables during execution of first step of scenario.

Which version of Zabbix do you use?

I am using latest (2.2.2) version of Zabbix.

You should to know 2 terms:
1.) variable
is step-level variable (used term macro of web scenario used in manual is not the best term) related only to web steps.
You can define it in Variables, but I didn't find in manual or source that these variables can be used in Required string

2.) macro
is global available constant.
You can define your macro in Configuration -> General -> Macros
e.g {$MACRO1} => teststring

6 Supported since Zabbix 2.2.0. The HOST.* macros and the user-defined {$MACRO} are supported in the web scenario Name and Variables fields and in the scenario step Name, URL, Post and Required string fields. {$MACRO} is also supported in the web scenario Authentication (user and password) and Agent fields, and in the scenario step Required status codes field.

Now you can use your {$MACRO1} in Required string in definition of your step of Web monitoring.

So create macro (not variable) and your problem should be solved :-)
