How to add hostname to graph name

[atavius]

Hi,
I am trying to create template that will have graph that will contain hostname of the device in its name. I thought this would be fairly simple just like adding
{HOST.HOST1} or {HOST.NAME} but apparently I am doing something wrong because instead of value I always end up with graph names like:
Singal {HOST.HOST1} or Signal {HOST.NAME}

Could someone please tell me what is the right syntax to get this working?

Thanks

What version of Zabbix are using?
{HOST.NAME} in version 2.4 even graph name is not available.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/appendix/macros/supported_by_location

You can use the macro {host:key.func(param)} as an alternative.

ex.
{{HOST.HOST}:system.hostname.last(0)}

I tested by version 2.4.6.

Hi Atsushi,
I am also running 2.4.6. When I add {{HOST.HOST}:system.hostname.last(0)} I end up with graphs with name unknown.

I managed to get it somehow working with
SmokePing {{HOSTNAME}:sysName.last(0)}
But the problem with this is fact that this uses hostname that Zabbix gets from device over SNMP and not the hostname that I used in Zabbix when adding it....

If anyone interested I found little workaround to achieve this:
You can create external script like zbxhostname.sh with line

echo $1

Then create in template new item eg. Zabbix hostname set type to external check and as key set zbxhostname.sh["{HOST.NAME}"]
Then you can call this item in template graphs with {{HOSTNAME}:zbxhostname.sh["{HOST.NAME}"].last(0)}

I am guessing same can be applied to other right now not supported system macros in templates. And yeah I know its not exactly elegant, but it gets job done at least for now.

(Sry for my Eng) Hi. I Have enother way to do this.
*I create a template item and graph
1) Create an item in template
Name: HOST_IP
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: agent.hostname
.....
2) Create Graph (in template)

Name{{HOST.HOST1}:agent.hostname.last()}
....


"I am also running 2.4.6. When I add {{HOST.HOST}:system.hostname.last(0)} I end up with graphs with name unknown"

I think trouble was because y dont have any item with key system.hostname.last(0). So there is no last data and it returns unknown for you.

You shuld first create item for example " host_ip" with key: agent.hostname (in my zabbix,conf i named hosts by ip) and then y can use macro in graph names
{{HOST.IP1}:agent.hostname.last()}
