1.8.5rc1 Macro issues

[Yello]

Hi,
I'm seeing problems with macros in this release? I have configured a set of macros in a template and associated them with items like this:

web.page.ping[bentley 8999 {SLB_URL}]

This is an external check calling a simple script I've produced to do this. The check works if I hard code the url and fails using macros. Also, the same configuration appears to work with 1.8.2.

Have any issues with macros been reported?

Hi,
I'm also seeing this with 1.8.5 (stable). I am writing the arguments that zabbix is passing to a log file. Here is the output:

192.168.80.209 bentley 8999 {SLB_URL}
192.168.80.209 bentley 8999 {AMBIGUOUS_URL}

It appears that zabbix isn't enumerating the Macros that are being passed as arguments to the external script. Can someone help me to understand what's wrong?

Hi,
I'm also attaching a screenshot of how I have my macros configured in the template.

Hi,
I have realised the error of my ways. User macros must be specified with a leading $.

Problem is now resolved.
