{HOSTNAME} in item name or action?

[tuxick]

Hi,

I noticed an inconsistency in usage of {HOSTNAME}. In some templates {HOSTNAME} is used in Item name, but others leave it up to admin to add it in Subject for actions.
I'm all for the latter: it doesn't belong in item name, and i hope some agreement can be reached over this.
It looks a bit silly to get some notifications showing hostname twice, or not all.

correction

i meant trigger name instead of item name of course

Personally I remove {HOST.NAME} from all trigger names, and in the email subject line I use {TRIGGER.SEVERITY}: {HOST.NAME} - {TRIGGER.NAME}.

Kind of a hassle to customize templates I've downloaded from Zabbix Share that have {HOST.NAME} in the trigger names, but you just gotta do it once and then you're golden.

Another method I guess is adding {HOST.NAME} to all trigger names in your templates, and in the email not displaying {HOST.NAME} at all.
