 Description   

To create a set of predefined items using #MACRONAME we can use "Discovery rule" which calls external script.
But if set of values would be provided in CSV format, we do not need create dummy script in external scripts which returns constant JSON string.

For instance, in the discovery rule add new Type in list like "Custom"
or to Zabbix agent something like CSV2JSON[<macroname>,<string value list>]
Example of configured Discovery rule:
Key: csv2json[MACRONAME1,"TEST,PROD,DEVEL"]
Output like: 

{"data":[{"{#MACRONAME1}":"TEST"},{"{#MACRONAME1}":"PROD"},{"{#MACRONAME1}":"DEVEL"}]}

Duplicate of ZBXNEXT-4086?

Comment by Roman Rajniak [ 2018 Apr 04 ]

No, This is only for static list of values configured in frontend, without any coding.
Just for example: "TEST,PROD,DEVEL" constant values to parse in macro #MACRONAME1
which I can use to multiply Item prototypes

Ah, got it.

Comment by Roman Rajniak [ 2018 Apr 04 ]

And maybe later one more improvement: <macroname> as string with CSV list of MACRONAMEs
csv2json["MACRONAME1,MACRONAME2","TEST,1,PROD,4,DEVEL,9"]
output parsed as:

{"data":[
   { "{#MACRONAME1}":"TEST", "{#MACRONAME2}":"1"   },
   { "{#MACRONAME1}":"PROD", "{#MACRONAME2}":"4"   },
   { "{#MACRONAME1}":"DEVEL", "{#MACRONAME2}":"9"   }
]}

Simmilar to ZBXNEXT-3970

Closing because Script items seem to address this use case. Feel free to reopen if this is not the case.
