trigger is unknown?

[radamand]

Can someone explain to me why the trigger below is not "True"??
Its a simple zabbix agent ping, as you can see, the trigger is set such that "last(0)}#1", I killed the agent on the monitored server and the status of the trigger changes to "unknown", shouldn't it be "True" since "unknown" does NOT equal "1"??

some progress

After trying many different things to fix this I found one way that almost works.
changing the trigger to
{ripper15:agent.ping.nodata(300)}=1

allows the trigger to turn to "True", however for some reason the Action that I have specified never executes.....
