Problems with displaying live data via macros in the label for maps

[Michael.S]

Hi,

I'm testing Zabbix (6.0 alpha7 appliance) and I want to show the live data of the devices (routers) in the label on the maps.

I have set the "Map element label type" on the maps to Label.

I tried different syntaxes but none of them worked. Do I have an error in the syntax or do I have to adjust a setting?


{HOST.NAME} << works
{HOST.CONN} << works
{{HOST.HOST}:icmppingsec.last(0)} <<< don't work
{{HOST.HOST}:uptime.last(0)} <<< don't work



I have checked the key under Latest Data, the name is correct.


Thank you for your help

I can also confirm the following do not work in Zabbix 6.0 alpha7 appliance

{{HOST.NAME}:icmppingsec.last(0)}
{{HOST.NAME}:net.if.in[ifHCInOctets.2].last(0)}
{{HOST.NAME}:net.if.in[ifHCOUTOctets.2].last(0)}
{{HOST.NAME}:net.if.speed[ifHighSpeed.2].last(0)}

Hi guys!

I am using the Zabbix 5.4 appliance and I am also having difficulty displaying the label values on the map. When I try to put the values below on the label of the link between two switches on my network:

{{HOST.NAME}:net.if.in[ifHCInOctets.1].last(0)} -> Doesn't work!
{{HOST.NAME}:net.if.in[ifHCOUTOctets.2].last(0)} -> Doesn't work!

Could anyone let us know if anything changed in Zabbix from version 5.4 appliance to macro settings on labels? Or would that be some BUG?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like this is not going to get fixed in V6 any time soon if its a problem in the production version (5.4)

Hi guys,

I'm facing the same problem.
Any fix?

If you want to display a value of item, then use its real name there not a macro.
Like

{HOST.NAME}
Agent {Zabbix server:zabbix[host,agent,available].last(0)}

So, for topic starter

{HOST.NAME} 
{HOST.CONN}
{LC_EDULeipzig:icmppingsec.last(0)}
{LC_EDULeipzig:uptime.last(0)}

@ticozabbix
replace macros with real names in those link labels and it should work. While rendering link labels, it is unclear otherwise, which hosts IF data should be used.

[ticozabbix]

I tried doing this, but it didn't work. Anyway, thanks for your help. I believe it is some bug.

Zabbix 5.4 release comes with scheduled PDF report generation, robust problem detection, advanced data aggregation, and other significant improvements. Get a quick overview of the most notable features available in the new version.

Oh really? Tell us more...

I'm doing exacly that.
See the attachments:

Has any way of fix this ?

Everything I wrote, works for me with 4.4 and with 5.0. I have no newer versions installed. But docs are same for them, so I have no doubts, that it works on newer ones also.

There is "expand macros" option in map editing mode, it will expand macros also in edit mode



and you are trying to show ifINOctets item, but your last part of pic shows IfINUcastPkts. I know it may seem like a bit of trolling, but sometimes people really miss obvious things.. Eventho, it should then display *UNKNOWN* on label...

Version 6 has a different syntax {?last(/host/key)}

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/devel/en/manual/config/visualization/maps/map

[cyber]

Stupid me, forgot that syntax change again....

[renanredel]

Thanks you!
I was reading the documentation from 5.4. .

[ticozabbix]

This new syntax worked for me in version 6 and I decided to test it in version 5.4 and it also worked. Thanks!

[cezar.cintea]

Hello ticozabbix,
Can you share the new used syntax?

[engrnauman]

Hello.
I'm stuck in this problem. I don't know what to do. I'm unable to solve this puzzle. please help me about syntax or something else.

[Oleksandr Denesyuk]

Hello.
Put a question mark before last, for example:
In: {?last(/TF_SW1_A/net.if.in[ifHCInOctets.59])}
