I have the following issue in our Zabbix configuration and I'm unable to solve it and I hope someone can help me with the solution for it.
What I want to do is compare the utilization difference between a single ethernet port and the average lag utilization. All information is already in Zabbix and I've created a good expression to compare this to each other.
Now the problem is that each ethernet port in a lag has a utilization counter. I put all these utilization counters in a calculated item and divided that by the number of ports in the lag. I then use all the lags calculated items to create a total lag utilization calculated item. This ends up in the following items:
- Single port utilization
- Lag utilization (calculated item of multiple single port items)
- Backbone utilization (calculated item of multiple lag items)
I've created two triggers for the difference. One for the difference between the single port and the lag and one between the lag and backbone. The first depends on the last.
This setup works fine, except for the situation where the lag trigger becomes true after the single port trigger (just a minute after or so). At that point it seems that the sing port trigger doesn't change back to "ok" again. This results in multiple actions for the single ports, that we don't want of course.
Can anyone tell me how I can solve this?
