Macro as literal string (Do not expand) in key name

[registration_is_lame]

Hi

I want to pass "{#SOMETHING}" as a literal string (with double quotes) to zabbix agent. Is that possible?

The powershell script I wrote returns some objects and properties and I had to use the names like "{#raid_staus} : $value" so the zabbix can create discovery items and also collect values. But I need to pass "{#raid_staus}" as a string to the script in order to get values.

The item key is like "raid_status[test1,"{#SOMETHING}"]. When the item gets created on the host the "{#SOMETHING}" gets expanded.

Is it possible to make it a literal string in key?

I tried "\{\#SOMETHING\}" or '{#SOMETHING}' but in the first case the agent got the string with slashes ( "\{\#SOMETHING\}" ) so the script couldn't fetch the value and one the second case it got expanded in the host item key.

Zabbix_get works fine with just double qoutes or single qoutes but not the frontend.

Thanks
