Item "not supported" --> ALARM: ON

[vikty]

Hi,

How Can I set a trigger to fire whene an item is not supported?

I have thougth to the function nodata()

I don't think that's possible.

Triggers in Zabbix are directly defined by the items that are used in the expression. If any of the said items are unsopported or disabled the trigger becomes disabled too. Thus, you can't have an enabled trigger associated with an unspported item.

Ok

If your data source return either same value or ZBX_NOT_SUPPORTED you can use count() function to define such trigger, for example:
web.test.rspcode[Sites,some-url.tld].count(1800,200)}<1

mmhh...

If this is true, I can't implement any trigger to check if a item is unsupported

In my case, I need to check the presence of a running process with snmp, example ping.exe. When the ping is running, an entry in the SNMP tree is present, but when the process stop, the entry in the SNMP tree disappear. I could understand why, but my item status in Zabbix is Active when the ping run and Not supported when the ping stop...

How I could have an alarm in Zabbix when the status of the item become Not Supported ?
