Display historical data for items in trigger notification

[klaauser]

Hi -

I'm looking to display the last say 5 values that for an Item in the trigger notification email that goes past. The 'Macros supported by location' page says that simple macros are supported, and I'm trying to do something like this:

{{HOST.NAME}:{ITEM.KEY}.last(#1)}

But all it ends up resolving to is {SRV-DC0:service.info[VMTools,state].last(#1)} (note that it doesn't actually get the last value.

Not sure if this is even possible, or if there's a better way to go about this, but it would be really helpful, specifically in terms of forecast triggers (on hard drive space, for example) to know the last values reported.

Thanks,
Kyle

try

{{HOST.NAME}:{ITEM.KEY}.{ITEM.LASTVALUE}

Yeah I know that that will work, but I'm trying to get, for example, the last FIVE values, and you can't do .lastvalue(#2) or something.

{ITEM.LASTVALUE<1-9>}
try

{ITEM.LASTVALUE1}.{ITEM.LASTVALUE2}.{ITEM.LASTVALU E3} etc...

You mixed up {HOST.NAME} with {HOST.HOST} (and probably old deprecated {HOSTNAME}). Valid examples are:

{{HOST.HOST}:{ITEM.KEY}.last(#1)}
{{HOST.HOST}:{ITEM.KEY}.last(#2)}
{{HOST.HOST2}:{ITEM.KEY}.last(#3)}
{{HOST.HOST}:{ITEM.KEY3}.last(#4)}
{{HOST.HOST4}:{ITEM.KEY5}.last(#5)}
{{HOST.HOST}:{ITEM.KEY}.sum(#10)}
...

This did it! Thank you so much!
