Macro function used in a script

[markfree]

Hey guys.

I'm using Zabbix 6.2 and, every now and then, I get some Windows "service is not running" event. Some of those services, I can just restart.

Basically, I'm using "Windows services discovery" to find and monitor those services, and the associated trigger offers the following event name:

"{#SERVICE.NAME}" ({#SERVICE.DISPLAYNAME}) is not running (startup type {#SERVICE.STARTUPNAME})

So, a simple command or two to restart the service was enough for me.

NET START "{#SERVICE.NAME}"

For that, I created a script to issue the above command while using a macro function.

NET START {{EVENT.NAME}.regsub(^\"(.*)\".*,\1)}

I believe the syntax is correct, but when I test it, the Net Start output shows me the command is wrong.

System error 123 has occurred.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

So, it seems "{EVENT.NAME}" macro was not properly filtered with the "regsub" function.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong... Any ideas?
Thanks

Macro function works with {ITEM.VALUE}, {ITEM.LASTVALUE} and LLD macros only. But you may tag item or trigger prototypes by {#SERVICE.NAME} and use {EVENT.TAGS.<tag name>} macro.

That worked great for me.
Since "Windows Services" discovery already creates a "service" tag for every discovered service, I was abble to point the "{EVENT.TAG.<tag_name>}" macro to it.
My script ended up like this:

NET START "{EVENT.TAGS.service}"

Thanks a lot.
