Returning interface name in API

[cliffennis]

Just getting into the API a little and I'm looking for a way to get the name of the discovered name of interfaces, disk volumes, etc.

So in item.get I can get some good info, but I need to know what the interface name is instead of "$1".

Version of zabbix_agent(d) running: 2.4.4
Incoming network traffic on $1: 0
Incoming network traffic on $1: 7296
Incoming network traffic on $1: 7376
Incoming network traffic on $1: 7208

Same applies for disk and any other discovered resource.

Total disk space on $1: 599443632128

What am I missing here to pull this all in together?

Thanks!

Hi cliffenis,

ran into the same issue, and I had no choice to dynamically find and replace any "$x" in the Item Name field with the actual value contained in that position in the key.

As far as I know, the item.get doesn't have the same "expand" functions in the API, as the trigger.get API call does...
