Is there variable for server name?

[batagy]

Hi Zabbix experts!

I need to use the server name as part of monitored item key.
The same would be used also a name of a trigger.

For server name, I mean first segment of FQDN.
{HOST.NAME} is not good, since it returns with the visible name.
{HOST.HOST} is not good, since it returns with full host name.

Is there a variable for only the server name?

Example:
FQDN: servername2.somewhere.net
I need to return with servername2

Zabbix version is 3.0.3, and agent is running on Windows.

Thanks in advance!

We need server name referred in an Item key, which is monitoring a Windows service.

We defined a Macro in template as below:
Macro: {$OWNHOST}
Value: {HOST.HOST}.regsub("^([0-9a-zA-Z]+).*", \1)

In latter we try to extract the first part of FQDN, i.e. server name.

Then, in Item, below key is used:
service.info[MSSQL${$OWNHOST},state]

But, this is not working. What is wrong? Any syntax issue?

Thanks!

Hi!

We solved it in another way, since it seems regexp is not accepted in Macro in templates.

The way we solved:
In template, we keep below item key:

service.info[MSSQL${$OWNHOST},state]

Then, we define the Macro value in host level, instead of template level, like below:

{$OWNHOST} -> SERVERNAME1
{$OWNHOST} -> SERVERNAME2

This can be closed.
