Use Global Variable for Macro Value in a custom Template

[shafuq]

I'm using a template "Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch AOS 6.x" from zabbix github.

https://github.com/zabbix/community-templates/tree/main/Network_Devices/Alcatel-Lucent_Enterprise/template_alcatel-lucent_enterprise_omniswitch_aos_release_6.x/6.0

It comes with three macro values that need to be filled as described in its document:

"Open "Configuration -> Templates -> Template Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch AOS 6.x -> Macros" and set the three entries."

I already have snmpv3user {$SNMPv3PW} and snmpv3pw {$SNMPv3PW} global variables set in Zabbix for other similar templates. So I would like to know if I could fill in this template's macro fields with these global variables instead of repeating the same values.

For example, can I use the following within this template's Macros section:

MACRO/VALUE:
{$SNMP_V3_AUTHPASSPHRASE} = {$SNMPv3PW}
{$SNMP_V3_PRIVPASSPHRASE} = {$SNMPv3PW}
{$SNMP_V3_USER} = {$SNMPv3_USR}

Instead of:

MACRO/VALUE:
{$SNMP_V3_AUTHPASSPHRASE} = MySnmpPW
{$SNMP_V3_PRIVPASSPHRASE} = MySnmpPW
{$SNMP_V3_USER} = MySnmpUserName

Thanks in advance!

If you think a bit... Where those macros are being used?
In v6 you configure all snmp credentials in hosts config, they are not used in item config, so those macros are kind of useless...
I think this template has been upgraded from older version and macros have not been removed...

This seems like a very basic question. Googling it returns no results. Are there no senior zabbix users out there that can answer yes/no?

You are right, after examining the yaml file I noticed the macros weren't used anywhere.

Thanks!
