add triggers on host related from items of others hosts

[slider_xtm]

I want add trigger on host test1:

{test2.check_port[172.16.0.11,445].last(0)}=0

but triggers add on test2

and in networkmap i see trouble on test2, but i need it on test1

may be it`s possible to add choice of host when add trigger?

Greetings,

Yes, it is possible, but not immediately obvious. When you create a trigger, the UI assigns the trigger to the host that is listed as the host you are testing. For example, if you are on the trigger page for test1.host.com and you create a trigger like "{test2.host.com:status.last(0)}=2", the trigger would be assigned to test2.host.com and the page that reloaded would also be pointing to the triggers for test2.host.com.

Now, having said that, there is a trick to achieve what you are looking for. The way to make it work is to create a trigger that is always true for test1.host.com and is AND'd to a trigger that checks test2.host.com, something like "({test1.host.com:system.uptime.diff(0)}=1)&({test 2.host.com:status.last(0)}=2)"

This trigger will be listed on the trigger page for test1.host.com, but will test only test2.host.com as system.uptime is always going to be different between two checks.
