Dynamic generation of host macros

[mfitzy]

I'm currently setting up agent auto registration for my environment, and it is working really well.

Each of my hosts have several macros that differ from host to host.

Is there a way/method of generating host macros based on the contents of the zabbix_agent.conf or through auto registration (somehow based on metadata)?

External routines, such as check or discovery, can use the API to create macros if that helps, and from the API they have access to all other data already populated in the host or related records (and at least in theory to the config files directly).

That's indirect. If you want the registration to cause it, you could kick off an action based on that event which called a script and used the API to do the same thing.
