| Description |
|
I want alias of the key for items using macros. For example, HostA has an itemA. HostB has an itemB. ItemB is an aggregate checks type item. The key of itemB is grpsum["Group name","Key of itemA",last,0]. ItemB has error, because {HOST.HOST} in the key of itemA is expanded hostB. So I create the calculated item for itemA's alias, itemC and use itemC in itemB. |

I want to create an aggregate item "grpsum[\" {HOST.NAME}\",\"vmware.vm.cpu.num[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]\",last,0]" in "Template Virt VMware Hypervisor".But this item has error because {HOST.HOST} is expanded Hypervisor's host name. So I create calculated item in "Template Virt VMware Guest", last("vmware.vm.cpu.num[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}]") as "calc.vmware.vm.cpu.num". And I create an aggregate item "grpsum[\"{HOST.NAME} \",\"calc.vmware.vm.cpu.num\",last,0]" as a temporary solution. |

Thank you, Marc. Can I set the macro: {$USER_MACRO} => {HOST.HOST}in a template ? |
