Hello,
I'm trying to use simple check icmpping, for the IP address which is stored in another item (not to the host itself). Say an item with key: key_server_address is holding the IP address information to be pinged.
I've another item (with type of simplecheck - icmpping) where I need to store the result of this ping process. I'm aware of the notation icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]. However, I cannot pass the other item's value as <target> parameter. I've tried several alternatives like {templatename:key_server_address.last()} but it didn't work. I couldn't manage to expand the macro value in the key area (which I understand the only way to pass the IP address as parameter).
Anyone tried something like this? Am I doing it all the wrong way or is this simply impossible?
Cheers,
Ali
