4 Events

Overview

There are several types of events generated in Zabbix:

  • trigger events - whenever a trigger changes its status (OK→PROBLEM→OK)
  • service events - whenever a service changes its status (OK→PROBLEM→OK)
  • discovery events - when hosts or services are detected
  • autoregistration events - when active agents are auto-registered by server
  • internal events - when an item/low-level discovery rule becomes unsupported or a trigger goes into an unknown state

Events are time-stamped and can be the basis of actions such as sending notification email, creating tickets, or executing remote commands.

To view event details in the frontend, go to Monitoring > Problems. There you can click the event date and time to open the event details page, where you can see additional information about the event, including whether it was suppressed because of maintenance or suppressed manually by a user.
