hi all,

i'd like to make a trigger to verify if snmpd is running on a host without installing the agent.
on the host i want to monitor, i have 3 items :
icmpping, and 2 snmp items retrieving a network interface in and out byte flow

the trigger expression is like this :
({snmphost:icmpping.last(0)}#0)&({snmphost:ifInOctets2.count(200)}=0)

so when the host is alive, and datas are gathered, the triggers is false, it's ok
but when no data is retrieved from ifInOctets2 (means snmpd is down), the trigger state is unknown

why isn't it ON? anyone see my mistake?
thanks
