Disk Space Discovery suddenly stopped working correctly

[paulrgod]

Hi Guys,

I'm after a little help around Disk Space Monitoring on our Zabbix. To my knowledge nothing should have changed.

I have the item prototype set up as follows :-

Name - Free disk space on $1
Type - Zabbix agent
Key - vfs.fs.size[{#FSNAME},free]

This has worked fine for a long time, sending alerts out to our Ticketing system with the correct subject including the correct drive letter (eg 'Free disk space on C:').

Recently this has stopped working and each alert received now just shows the subject as 'Free disk space on $1' as per the name.

Any suggestions on what may be happening and how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Paul

To my knowledge nothing should have changed.

Here you are wrong... you have definitely upgraded a version. Support for positional macros like $1 has been dropped... It was deprecated already for many versions (since 4) and has now been dropped..

Replace your trigger name with "Free disk space on {#FSNAME}" and let discovery run again...
