+1. and in Actions should available too.
example, adding HOST.ID to URL
http://zabbix-server/zabbix/host_screen.php?hostid=

and send this url (with other alarm info) in email message.

Yep I'd like to be able to link to custom graphs for the host.

https://zabbix.domain.com/zabbix/charts.php?hostid={HOST.ID}

I was struggling with this and figured out a way to do it... In the trigger, add a Trigger URL like this:

https://zabbix-server.yourco.com/zabbix/host_screen.php?hostid={HOST.ID}

Then, in the action you can add something like this to the Default message:

Host Metrics:{TRIGGER.URL}

The point is, the TRIGGER.URL macro is supported in action messages. I agree it would be nice to have more macros available in messages, but this is a reasonable workaround for me...

I agree this macro would be extremely useful in notifications and hope its support will soon be added.
In the meanwhile I worked around the problem by creating a custom php page which accepts the host name as parameter (so you can call it using

2) write search_custom.php page and place it in zabbix frontend directory
3) search_custom.php looks up host id, then redirects users to /zabbix/hostinventories.php?hostid=<hostid>

Have a look to zabbix default "search.php" page to get some ideas on how to implement your search_custom.php.
Hope this helps

Just yesterday I thought, that there must be an easier way to access the host inventory screen, as it's one of the best features to navigate to all of the infos I need for a host! It's a pitty it's so hidden.. :'(
So I wanted to be smart and link it into the notifications. Too bad I failed...

https://zabbix-server/zabbix/hostinventories.php?hostid={HOST.ID}

This would be so helpful. Thanks for listening!

+1 for this.

Fortunately there is an even easy work around. Just as you can put the host id in the trigger url, you can also put it in the trigger tags. Then in your Action {EVENT.TAGS} will resolve the ID.

Support of {HOST.ID} macro will be implemented in Zabbix 5.0 for trigger based notifications and commands, also for internal and problem update notifications.

Hi Alexei, would you consider {HOST.ID} to be supported in trigger URL field too?

Use case - immediate navigation to templated screens.

https://zabbix/host_screen.php?hostid=\{HOST.ID\}

Screens are going to be replaced in Zabbix 5.0 with Dashboards, as announced on the Roadmap: https://www.zabbix.com/roadmap#v5_0

Marco, nothing in the roadmap is said about screens in templates. 

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/5.0/manual/config/visualisation/host_screens

But if these get removed then it is a major loss of functionality. 

We also use templated host screens extensively, this is a major concern.

ingus.vilnis, is there a separate feature request about support of {HOST.ID} in trigger URLs?

jannek, do not worry about host screens. This functionality will be supported in one way or another, no plans of dropping it whatsoever. It is offtopic here.

Awesome guys. Thank you.

Will it also be available in scripts?  I have the following script that I use often from the Problems list:

Which produces this output:

host.conn and hostname work as expected, but presently host.id does not.

Oddly though, host.id works in the Maps context menu, but hostname does not.

Obviously it would be great if this would produce HTML Clickable Links, but one thing at a time.

Looking forward to March. Thanks again.

[email protected], we will implement it for notifications and remote commands first.
