Device dependency in ZABBIX 4.2
Hi there,
Suppose the following scenario in using Zabbix 4.2. We have a core switch, two distributed switches and 20 access switches, where the distributed switches are connected to the core and 10 access switches are connected to each distributed switch. I am monitoring all of them using SNMP v2c and using the template cisco switches (the official one). Now the problem arises as I cannot define device dependency in zabbix easily. By easily, I mean that if a distributed switch goes out, I want to have the alarm for that device and not for all access switches connected to it. I could define it as follows. Change the triggers for each device and made them dependent on the corresponding trigger for distributed switches. However, this is too time consuming. What should I do? Any help is appreciated.
