for the record, item is coming from a template, macro is attached to the host |

I wouldn't call it critical bug. It is not supposed to work on the OID. It sounds like a feature request. |

hmm. but oid is essentially performing key functionality in snmp checks, currently user macros can't be used with snmp items at all... |

user macros and parameters (keys) in snmp community string, snmp oid, snmp index oid and index value |

Vladimir, thanks for the patch. However, as you write in the patch yourself, this is a hack, so it cannot be included in the official Zabbix distribution. If it works for you, then feel free to use it in the mean time, though. |

Thanks for the patch Vladimir, I may try it out. I've made a perl script to perform SNMP checks that can use macros, it's not very clean but the basic functionality is there. I would much prefer to have macro functionality as part of the SNMP check. I hope this hack/patch can be rolled into the official Zabbix distribution soon. I'm monitoring volumes in a Netapp Filer. Each volume has it's own list of OIDs so macros would be really useful for this. |

Does this mean it will be in the 1.8.4 release or the 2.0 release? |

this was branched off from 1.8, so i would suspect 1.8 branch (but also might be 1.8.5...) |

Thanks guys for your work, I'm happy that it's on the roadmap for release. It will make things much easier for me and hopefully many others. |
