Ubuntu 22.04.04, PostgresSql, updated from distro to 7.0.0rc3.

i guess this also affected notification actions

e's actually a bigger problem.  I'm not sure what is happening, but my HTML mail script has no substitutions at all, it's coming through with literals.  These actually have values, or should (unless something changed in syntax). 

Here's a side by side comparison of an alert (forced by changing the IP to be wrong).  It's an attachment named side-by-side.  The HTML email generation suppresses items that are blank (which should be in 2-9 in this case) but it is not even generating the right values for the defined item.   I'm going to have to capture the intermediate files before I send the email, but this is clearly really wrong.  Unless something got broken in my install – any chance someone else could check? 

I created a custom message for the action with lots of macros that I use in HTML email, and generated it without HTML, just sent it out via regular email. 

Essentially it's just a mess.  Some things substituted as normal, some were ignored, some changed from UNKNOWN to literal substitutions.  Some worked.  Here's a set of the macro name (without brace so it comes out literally) followed by the substituted (or not) value. 

Unless this is somehow specific to me, some problem with my configuration, this looks like a show stopper to me.

Hello!

I tested this on a fresh 7.0.0 and it seems to work as expected (at least {HOST.IP} and {HOST.DNS} macros)

Can you test this again on a clean installation?

zux did you follow Linwood reproduction steps?

1. External check such as DNSMatchIP[
   {HOST.DNS}

   ,
   

   {HOST.IP}

   ,
   {$OPTIONAL_DOMAINS}]

2. In the host, leave either the host name or the host IP blank (not specified) in the agent interface definition (in my case only agent is defined not snmp, etc.)
3. the script code invoked looks like

im having the same issues, im using the macros in a media type and call a python script like this

0`{EVENT.TIME}`{EVENT.DATE}`{EVENT.NAME}`{HOST.HOST}`{TRIGGER.SEVERITY}`{EVENT.ID}`{HOST.NAME}`{TRIGGER.ID}`{HOST.DESCRIPTION}`{HOST.IP}`{HOST.DNS}

everything works except HOST.IP and HOST.DNS

i noticed following https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-24560  https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/commits/1056038f8c7ed184d522db750a25a03d75e42412#src/libs/zbxexpression/datafunc.c that falls in this ballpark but for our issue there has to be a problem finding the interface at all

By "clean installation" if you mean not modified, this is installed from the distro not from source.

If you mean completely empty install with default database and everything else - I have not.  I'd need to spin up a new VM.  I probably can't take time for that until later in the week, but given that it is not just me.... ?

Question: Mine is labeled 7.0.0rc3.  Is that the same as "fresh 7.0.0" you are using?  I am wondering if ubuntu's distro is current? 

Sorry, I checked again and looks like you're right.
I've modified the script to just output the values:

hostname="$1"
ip="$2"
addedDomain="$3"

echo "IP - $ip "
echo "Hostname - $hostname"

It works when using test:

But in actual history of the item HOST IP is not expanded:

Confirmed.

Glad you can see it.  I suspect this is going to bite a lot of people who have written external checks and notifications.  Hope it can get cleared up before too many people jump on the 7.0 bandwagon for real (my install is my home only, been telling clients "wait for a point release!"). 

Hi,

I'm testing the V7.0.0 and I notice this point.

So on 7.0.1rc1 this appears fixed on external checks, but is not fix on substitution in trigger action messages, where it continues to not only fail but also causes other macros not to be replaced. 

I noticed this was fixed in ZBX-24560  and will attempt to also re-open that bug once I try on rc2 which appears out but does not mention this.

In some brief tests I see no difference in 7.0.2rc2

Same on 7.0.2. release, biting me hard.
For most notification this works fine.
But if host has no interface, all macro after {HOST.CONN} are not replaced.

Problem has been resolved at 14:59:59 on 2024.08.07
Problem name: Zabbix proxy: Utilization of poller processes over 75%
Host: Zabbix proxy 1 (internal) (\{HOST.CONN})
Severity: \{EVENT.SEVERITY}
Original problem ID: \{EVENT.ID}
\{TRIGGER.URL}

Please ignore extra backslash. Anyone know how I make {noformat} work and ignore { characters?

Part of the problem was resolved in version 7.0.1 in scope of ZBX-24560, where macros will resolved to empty values if the corresponding field is not filled.

However, another issue remains – all {HOST.*} macros do not expand if there is no interface. This needs to be fixed.

Implemented in pull request feature/ZBX-24636-7.0

Fixed in:

• pre-7.0.4rc1 a221b13c0f0
• pre-7.2.0alpha1 (master) ef43401e298
