    Different interface bandwidth utilisation triggers on a device

    This is my first post, so apologies if it's a newbie question or not in the correct location. We are deploying Zabbix 5.4.10 and want to be able to define different values for network utilisation on a trigger prototype (defined in template 'Template Module Interfaces SNMPv2'). For the vast majority of interfaces on a given device we will utilise one value e.g. 70% (defined as a macro in the template), but for interfaces on the same device that are known to run hot we would like to set an alternate value (e.g. 90%). We have looked into the Override option to filter specific interfaces, but can't see a way to amend the utilisation threshold value for these interfaces without creating a lot of very specific templates. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, based on https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...Frelease%2F5.0 I'd say that you should be able to define macros like {$IF.UTIL.MAX:"GigabitEthernet1/2"} to override the generic macro value based on the interface name. So no need to modify the template, just define those additional macros in the host(s).

      (Also note that Zabbix 5.4.x is not officially supported anymore so you should consider using Zabbix 6.0.6 instead)

        Hi Markku, thanks very much for the feedback, we'll have a look at that. Also take your point on the version. Cheers, Neal.
