This link shows the supported macros. Look through column #1.

I think the closest you are going to get is {TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME}, but you are on 2.0.1 and that is a feature of 2.0.6 and probably not exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks tchjts1 and eskytthe.
I want to get the host group,but the macro {TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME} is trigger group name.

No build in macro support this as I see it.
The last post by Steveboyson in my previous link show other possibilities.

In 1) Steveboyson talk about user micros.
A spin off could be to copy you hostgroup(s) to one of the INVENTORY build in macros (e.g. by some API magic).
