Macro for duration of problem in Recovery Message

[doub]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is already a macro implemented for returning the age/duration of the event which caused the trigger to fire off.
It would be useful to see the value in the Recovery Message.

Following Macros do not work out for my purposes:

{EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME}
{EVENT.AGE}

Thanks for any suggestions.

I was just setting up email which included something similar, can you elaborate on why {EVENT.AGE} is not appropriate?

Unfortunately it does not return the values as needed.
Below is what I can see in my Emails.

Problem message:

[...]
Event.Age: 0m
Event.Time: 18:50:11
Event.Recovery.Time: {EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME}
[...]

OK message:

[...]
Event.Age: 0m
Event.Time: 08:28:11
Event.Recovery.Time: {EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME}
[...]

It's working for me (2.2.1 built from sources on ubuntu 13.10).

Problem message:

HOST.IP1=192.168.128.14
EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME={EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME}

Recovery message:

HOST.IP1=192.168.128.14
EVENT.RECOVERY.TIME=10:07:29

I'm using it in a shell notification, I wouldn't think that would matter (vs an email sent directly).

You are using a real recovery message as opposed to one coded to send manually for PROBLEM->OK or similar?

PS. {EVENT.AGE} works for me also, e.g.

Problem:

Original event ID: 113289 occurred at 2014.02.07 10:03:29 age as of this message 1m

OK:

Original event ID: 113289 occurred at 2014.02.07 10:03:29 age as of this message 4m

I am using the predefined actions and just added the macros. Other macros work well just these ones do not.

I am using v2.0.9. May be it is not implemented yet in this version?!

From the manual:

Time of the recovery event.
Can be used in recovery messages only.
Supported since 2.2.0.

Yes, I guessed so. I will have to upgrade then.
I just hoped there will be a workaround for v2.0.9 with some kind of a formula.
Still thanks.
