Populate SNMP interface name into trigger name?

[roboris]

Good day,

I have a trigger created from a discovery item prototype, and I need to include the SNMP interface name in the name of the trigger. Here's an example of a trigger created from the prototype:

My goal here is to have the trigger be named "wan2 down", to correspond to the "wan2" interface indicated in the problem expression, but I can't find the right macro to populate this value into the trigger name. Is there a macro that will do the job, or do I need to go about this a different way?

Help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

-Brian

You need to add the interface name to the trigger name at the LLD stage. Try adding the {#IFNAME} macro (or the corresponding one) to the name of the trigger prototype.

I appreciate your advice. Based on this page, I decided to give {#SNMPVALUE} another go; I'd tried it before, but it hadn't worked. I must have made a typo, or I must not have waited long enough for it to populate through, because it worked this time:


The "6" before "wan2" is the interface type; the final thing that I need to do is somehow run the 6 (or whatever value is returned) through IF-MIB::ifType (like I can do with "Show value" in an item definition) to translate it into "ethernetCsmacd(6)". The end goal is to receive trigger alerts like "ethernetCsmacd(6) wan2 down".
