How to use global regular expressions in trigger

[tuxmartin]

Hello, how can I use global regular expressions in the template trigger?
I have the template for Mikrotik switch and need to ignore triggers for some switch ports. I cannot ignore it in the template discovery filter, because I need to collect data, but I do not want any triggers for these ports.

I have global regex "PORTS" with the list of network interface names "Any character string included" (port1,pc2,test). Now I need to modify the trigger in the template to ignore if the value of template discovery macro "{#IFNAME}" is found in the global regex. Something like "{#IFNAME}.regex(@PORTS) and ...".
It is possible?

Thanks,
Martin

Sounds like a great case for LLD override: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...overy#override

Basically it allows you to prevent the triggers from being created for matching interfaces.

Thanks for the tip. I will try it.

If I use Filters, items and triggers are marked for deletion during the next discovery.

But if I use Overrides, nothing changed. The trigger will always remain on. I have to remove the template from the host and add it again.

How can I fix it?

Please don't convey discussion using Comments, use proper posts to make it possible to quote and like your content.

Just delete the extra triggers manually when changed the template, no need to remove all the items and triggers.
