Alert Host condition, not working or useless?

[Valerie]

Hi,

Just realised that even though we use combine the 2 following conditions in Alert configuration: Trigger Host = "HAL"
Trigger value = "ON"
the specified receiver will receive all alerts for VALUE="ON", not only those for the it's host.

This is bad, has we want to notice specified user only when their specific machine raise a trigger/alert.

I am using version 1.1 beta 5, is this solved in new version? Is their a workaround or something I am missing in alert configuration?

Thanks

Are you sure you receive all notifications regardless of host name? It is the only action defined?

Hi Alexei,

I am pretty sure the user received all email, for all triggers from all host...At least, i am 100% sure he did not only receive email regarding the host specified in the action configuration.
Plus, this is a sample email I received.

Components: Processor load is high on wd2016472: ON

---
Trigger value = "ON"
Host = "aquila"



This email comes from the action with only the 2 conditions listed...


Maybe this has something to do with this bug :
When i add a Host trigger condition, and then select it with the checkbox and click on "delete selected", it does not disapear from the Conditions list...

We've got a test machine on wich run Zabbix 1.1Beta6. I tried the same conditions as explained above and it seems to have the exact same behavior.
The action sent is :

Basics: wd2019339 is unreachable: ON
---------------
Conditions
Host = "aquila"
Trigger value = "ON"


I believe actions with host="someHost" should only be sent when THAT host raise a trigger right? But that is not the case nor in 1.1b5 or 1.1b6

Any help or approval/denied on this case would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting the same here. I setup an action so my IT Manager only get an email on our switches and no matter what trigger fires, he gets an email, not just for the switches.

Maybe this is the problem(in actions.c)

@@ -422,6 +422,7 @@ static int check_action_condition(DB_TRI
result = DBselect(sql);
for(i=0;i<DBnum_rows(result);i++)
{
+ ret = FAIL;
if(condition->operator == CONDITION_OPERATOR_EQUAL)
{
if(atoi(condition->value) == atoi(DBget_field(result,i,0)))

Probably you should wait for someone that look for more then 10 minutes to the zabbix code to advice.

take care

Alexei,
Is there a fix for this comming? Should I configure the action, one per trigger instead of using Maccros?
