Host sub domain in action message

[droflow]

If possible I would like to be able to have the hosts sub domain shown in the action message.

All of our host names look something like "host1.sub.domain.net"

I do have "Host: {HOST.NAME}" in my message which does give me the entire "host1.sub.domain.net", but I would also like to include the sub domain for better at a glance visibility.


I tried creating a Global macro:

{$HOST_ENV} => {{HOST.NAME}.iregsub("\.(.*?)\.", \1)}

And then included this in the message, "Sub domain: {$HOST_ENV}"


But it literally gave me "{{HOST.NAME}.iregsub("\.(.*?)\.", \1)}" in the message.

Global macro? And it looks like it will be macro in macro. This wont work. Try to use your expression inline.

Since I'm pretty new to this. Would it looks something like this in the Action Message?

{HOST.NAME}("\.(.*?)\.", \1)

Examples at the end of page: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...acro_functions
But I checked this function in "Actions" and it dont work in that location.
The only solution I see is:
- in your hosts configuration set "Visible name" to name you want to see in messages
- use {HOST.NAME} in Actions messages where you want to see you name
- use {HOST.HOST} in Actions messages where you want to see you full name of the host with subdomain (value from "Host name" in host configuration)
