 Description   

event.get API method cannot get its expanded name directly, need to get objectid and get expanded name using trigger.get.

However, trigger.get with expandDescription expands {ITEM.VALUE} same as {ITEM.LASTVALUE}. There is no way to get correct event info from API like frontend events screen.

I've tested, and looks like even after the ZBX-6491 fix, the {ITEM.VALUE} is expanded same as {ITEM.LASTVALUE} using the trigger.get API method.

So current request is still actual.

I feel that the trigger.get method needs an additional parameter which will define how to expand the {ITEM.VALUE} macro.
Because API can be used for both tasks:

  • managing configuration using own frontend - should be expanded as {ITEM.LASTVALUE}
  • displaying current problems - should be expanded as {ITEM.VALUE}

But currently there no way control the macro substitution.

note that there are two things desired - trigger name expansion for event.get and ITEM.VALUE expansion support. this might have to be split in two feature requests, if not implemented in one go.
