Zabbix Server-based scripts and MACROS

[spajjie]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a script that runs on a host. All I want it to do is pass through the following key found on the HOST.
{HOSTs.windows.inventory.serialnumber.last()}

The follows commands are saved:
echo ".."
echo {HOSTs.windows.inventory.serialnumber.last()}
echo ".."

However, when I run this script from latest data on a host, I get an error:

Details Cannot execute script.

• ..
• sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The problem is that the {HOSTs.windows.inventory.serialnumber.last()} value is not being evaluated. I've changed the script slightly to run a local script, i.e. /tmp/somescript.sh {HOSTs.windows.inventory.serialnumber.last()} and I get the same result. I can confirm there is a value set under that host key.

I've also tried a USER MACRO, i.e {$TEST} = {HOSTs.windows.inventory.serialnumber.last()} and even a GLOBAL MACRO, but none of it renders.

I'm using Zabbix Server 6

What am I missing here?

Thanks

using older syntax... maybe last(/host/item) will work better? Or expression macros ? https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ression_macros
