 Description   

I'm trying to create a filter in the virtual machines discovery rule so that it ignores turned-off VMs, but I verified through the Zabbix Proxy log capture that the discovery is not returning the macro {#VM.POWERSTATE}.

Hello Rafael,

The macros VM.POWERSTATE was introduced in ZBXNEXT-2302 for 6.2

Be so kind to provide the json for v6.2 and newer.

Regards,

Michael
