Hi,
we would like to create a map that reassume situation of other maps: for example we have a map for switch1 with 20 hopsts, an other for switch2 with 10 other hosts connected and we would like to create a map with only switch1 and switch2 but the state of new map has to change whben every host of other maps changes.
How it's possible?
Thank from now at all
So basically you want switch1 to reflect status of the hosts. If one of the hosts has problems, then switch1 will be displayed as faulty one. Right?
I'm pretty sure that's what he was saying. nested maps so to speak.
it could be useful, I could see making one icon for a particular "product" which was made up of several hosts that reflected the collective health of the application. clicking on the object would drill down to the detailed map

exactly! A map that represent the state of various submap by using icon-on icon-off. When trigger of an host of submap become on, the icon that represent the submap on the main map become on too.
:confused:
Thanks!

Halloooo.....
Nobody can help me?
you can't do that right now. (well, not without a lot of patching)
thought you were asking for a feature request.

Really I'm trying to do it, by use this trigger expression:
(({Host1:icmpping.last(0)}=0)|({Switch1:icmpping.l ast(0)}=0))
One expression for every Host. It should work, but trigger status is unknow.
Why Zabbix doesn't calculate this expression, is so easy!
P.s.: The expression in realty works but is instable: if I restart the pc, or mysql, or zabbix, or I do nothing, trigger status become unknow.
I'm going crazy :confused:
what version are you running? there was a problem with icmpping in beta3 and beta4.
and while that may technically work, it seems like a lot of work. why don't you just create a map with a background box and place an icon for the router at the top of the box and all the hosts on that device inside it, that way it should be pretty obvious when the router goes red AND all the hosts do.
I'm into the idea of nested maps but adding triggers like that to all hosts just seems like a lot of work for information that could be represented much more easily.
