Is it possible to use discovery values in remote command

[zouli]

I have a discovery rule to discovery all virtual machines on a KVM host. The discovered virtual machines are stored in macro {#DOMAINNAME}.

I can monitor those virtual machines status, and see triggered alarm when any virtual machine not in running state.

Now, what I want is to execute remote command on host, like "sudo virsh start {#DOMAINNAME}" to bring virtual machine back to active state when the vm is non-active. While it seems the remote command does not recognize macro.

Can anybody help on this?

Thanks very much!
Anthony

Hello zouli!

Macros with # sign are only used withing the low level discovery process. They are not usable in other areas.
Can you please try to substitute {#DOMAINNAME} macro with the following one: {HOST.IP}? What will happen?
If it does not work, how is this command called - external script? frontend script, SSH check?

system macro can work in actions

Hi OVAS,

Thanks for your reply. I have checked that system macros {HOST.IP} {HOST.NAME} can work in actions. So the problem is how the macro in LLD can be used in actions.

Do you have any idea?

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if it is possible to use LLD macro in actions. I don't see how it is possible, LLD macro is operational only within LLD. Here is the list of supported locations for LLD macros: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ros/lld_macros
