Macro Functions in Item Keys

[florian.becker]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup SNMP monitoring for one of our Firewalls. The problem is that the Firewall returns non consistent names (from SNMP discovery) for VPN tunnels and constructing a unique item key is not possible. However a unique key can be constructed using regex. When trying to use macro functions in the item key I get the following error:



The same macro functions seems to work for the item name. Is this intended by Zabbix or am I missing something?

If I managed to write it down correctly (would have been easier to copy.. hint-hint) then It saved it if it was written as..

vpn.tunnel.ipsec["{{#VPNTUNNEL}.regsub(\"(IPSEC-.*)(?:\{\d{1,3}\}\"),\1)}"]

I was following example here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ros/lld_macros

Note, that commas are not allowed in unquoted item key parameters, so the parameter containing a macro function has to be quoted.
