No macros possible in URL expression

[frater]

Each trigger also has a URL-field.
In the dashboard this trigger will show a clickable text instead of normal text.
In the orange/black theme I use this becomes hardly readable, by the way.
Maybe no-one is using it because of that?

I'm using it for some non-templated triggers.

I'm not using it for templated triggers because I can't use {} there

This works:
Expression

{pfsense:net.ping[10.250.250.5].max(#2)}=0

URL

http://10.250.250.5

But this doesn't:

Expression

{Template_Standalone:httpspeed[https://{HOST.CONN1}:450/ ].min(#2)}>3000

URL

http://{HOST.CONN1}:450/

I will get the text http://{HOST.CONN1}:450/ in my dashboard instead of an URL pointing to the FQDN or IP
This way I can't use it in a template...

That's correct. You can't use macro {HOST.CONN<1-9>} in Trigger expressions (column 11).

Unfortunately, you have to change your concept. For example use standard web monitoring (you can user MACRO in URL) and web.test.time[Scenario,Step] item. If you know size of page and required speed of downloading => you are able to setup trigger for web.test.time[Scenario,Step] item.

Hi Jan,

Thanks, but you are focussing on the test I'm doing there, but it also could have been a test for the validity of the certificate.
I just want to use the url field in trigger which apparently has no practical use in its current implementation as you can't use it in a template.

I asked for this feature a long time ago, but probably didn't make a proper ticket for it.

Yes, I understand. IMHO you can use discovering if it possible (item/trigger prototypes), but then you will over engineer it :-D
