| Description |
|
It would be nice to have user macros usable within notification messages. As an example a host goes ping down, you have a macro {$GATEWAY} set that contains the host's gateway IP. When sending an alert it could then include the gateway IP amongst other information when opening the ticket |

Agreed, user macros are very powerfull and could virtually be used anywhere. |

For the record, that's useful for remote commands too. |

Another example from my life: I have macro {$UNIX_ADMINS}=>"John Doe, Jane Roe and Pavel Timofeev". ") and wrote in its comment/description following phrase: "If you've received this message please call {$UNIX_ADMINS}!" Then I created action where I defined conditions and wrote in body {TRIGGER.NAME}: {TRIGGER.STATUS}Last value: {ITEM.LASTVALUE} {TRIGGER.COMMENT}(or {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}) as result we would get in body: Free memory on server1: PROBLEM If user macro worked in this case it would be very useful. |

Hmm, I've just figured out that neither of macros works in my case. So should I fill new ZBXNEXT about any macros in {TRIGGER.COMMENT}in nofitications? |
