{ITEM.DESCRIPTION} trigger variable not resolving

[fletch00]

Hi, we built a custom Netapp template using snmpbuilder in Zabbix 1.8.5 so now we have monitoring for disk usage on all 20 volumes.
But now we want to configure the trigger:

Disk Usage {ITEM.VALUE} has exceeded 95% for {ITEM.DESCRIPTION} on {HOSTNAME}

and it all works except we get:
Disk Usage 96 has exceeded 85% for {ITEM.DESCRIPTION} on netapp03

Is the description field not exposed to the trigger configuration?

We obviously want the name of the netapp volume that is critical and would prefer not to have to customize 20 triggers with hard coded names!

thanks

Hi,

ITEM.DESCRIPTION will be supported in zabbix 2.0
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...on/whatsnew200

5.17 Item descriptions added

…and 'description' is now 'name'

Added {ITEM.DESCRIPTION} and {ITEM.KEY} macros.
