You want to add hosts created from prototype to a specific hostgroup? You just need to write that hostgroup name in that prototypes config (Groups tab), no variables needed.

cyber thanks for answer

Not specific group,

For example I have 2 vCenter different location
First is pandora1.local
Second is pandora2.local

I have 2 hostgroup
host group1: pandora1group
host group2: pandora2group

I want to variable add host prototy in vmware fqdn template and I can just add

I try to add #TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME but it's not working. When run, It create named "#TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME" hostgroup

Is there any idea?

Your discovery should return that hostgroup name then, so you could assign it to that {#TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME} macro... I think. Otherwise there is no data to make a decision... If you have no value for that macro, it is taken literally and you end up with a hostgroup called #TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME.

cyber thanks for reply

but for low level design the data must come from the system? If it can't get the pandora-group information on the host, is there a problem with the variable I'm using?

it doesn't accept when I assign as normal variable lld

Is there an article about it? What I have read does not enter the host property section at all. :/

yes. thats what I tried to say, you can use only LLD macros that your disco returns.. Default keys do not contain such info. You can find available ones here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...scovery_fields
As you can see no such one as #TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME...
And you cannot use user macros in prototype fields. You can only use LLD macros there.

I am pretty sure you need to create some kind of script, which updates your group memberships over API.

I am afraid of it too because I will have done a manual job as doing everything manually with the api and I will still need variables such as cluster, vm folder in the vcenter to be added..

it will be some manual work but nothing to do.

thank you very much for your answer
