Fixed in the development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-4238

(1) Let's do the same for "Database monitor", "SSH agent" and "TELNET agent" items!

<sasha> RESOLVED

<asaveljevs> CLOSED

Fixed in version pre-1.9.7, r22580.

(2) i believe we should document where discovery macros are supported, as i don't remember all the locations already...

<asaveljevs> Where would it be better to document that? Page http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/discovery/low_level_discovery currently says "These macros are then used in names, keys, and expressions of prototypes to create items, triggers, and graphs for each discovered entity.". While not strict, this pretty much covers everything where these macros are supported, including calculated item expressions, SSH and Telnet scripts, and database monitor parameters.

<richlv> would they work in item descriptions, for example ? or any other fields, like allowed hosts for trapper items ? i think the multitude of item properties is what confuses me the most

<asaveljevs> Documented it as "These macros are then used in names, keys, and other prototype fields to create items, triggers, and graphs for each discovered entity. For items, these macros can be used in names, keys, SNMP OID's, calculated item expressions, SSH and Telnet scripts, parameters for database monitors. For triggers, in names and expressions. For graphs, just the name fields.".

<richlv> awesome, thanks -> CLOSED
