View Full Version : snmptrap handling not "compatible" with alarm concept

I have a SNMP device that sends an SNMP trap to Zabbix (1.0) when it's accessed via tty. I see the trap come in, no problem everytime i access the device.

I have a trigger tied to the item (ON or OFF), thinking that every access will launch the trigger. However, since the trap message/value is always the same (i.e. there is no trap for user left the device), the alarm mechanism will, in essence, block any triggers after the first trap.

Is there a way to generate a trigger (to send email let's say) everytime a value is received, regardless of the value of the trigger?

Thanks in advance.

Alex.

I've found same problem (described a month ago). As I see the only way is to reorganize the way, how Zabbix is handling traps. I've described this here http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=858
