Zabbix Host Tagging

[MRedbourne]

Hey folks,

We're working to custom tag our hosts in Zabbix. It's necessary because the hosts aren't always named in a manner that makes them easily identifiable. Ideally, any time a problem is encountered (and it generates an email to us), I'd like the custom tag to be injected into the email. What I've done is:

1. Gone to Monitoring -> Hosts -> Config -> Tags and defined a keypair of: CLIENT:<VALUE>
2. Gone to Administration -> Media Types -> Message Templates and modified the following types:
   1. Problem
   2. Problem Recovery
   3. Problem Update
   4. I've set each subject to "<TYPE>: {EVENT.NAME} on {HOST.CLIENT}"

All that happens now is I get the literal "{HOST.CLIENT}" injected into the subject, not the actual tag value.



In the above case at problem generation for a downed SSH daemon, I should get an email with the subject: "Problem: [Trigger] [SSH] [Daemon Check] SSH Dead on Major Div - Min Div". I'm currently getting: "Problem: [Trigger] [SSH] [Daemon Check] SSH Dead on {HOST.CLIENT}"

Is what I'm trying to do supported? If so, what am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,
Mike

Please check list of supported Macros by loacation here. Not sure where does {HOST.CLIENT} coming from, I dont see {HOST.<TAG>} as supported macros.
What I expect to work is {EVENT.TAGS.<tag name>}, so for your case {EVENT.TAGS.CLIENT}.

Please do note that I did not test it out on real server so feel free to tell if it still fails.

yep.. Inventing macros is not giving you anything.. Use existing ones, {EVENT.TAGS.<tag name>} should be the one you look for.
