Hey all,
I'm having a problem with this. I've setup Zabbix, and get it monitoring things, and so far so good. I've even been able to setup a few proxies, and that side of things all seems to be working.
Now, I'm trying to get notifications working correctly. I setup a few hosts, using the Template_Windows, which includes a trigger for "Low free disk space on ww-rdp volume c:", which is exactly what I wanted. I made a copy of this trigger, and created it as a new one "Less than 100MB free disk space on host1 volume c:".
Without, setting up anything else, I see that I (Admin), gets a "default" email every time the trigger occurs. I think I've worked this out the fact that the trigger has a severity of "Average", and the Admin user, is set to get emails for all severities.
However, I want to stop this. I want to setup a specific Action, so that this trigger, will send an email to a specific user etc.
I setup the Action as follows:-
Name: Low C: Space
Event Source: Triggers
Default Subject: Low Space: {HOSTNAME}
Message: {HOSTNAME}, is low, {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}
Conditions:- (AND)
A: Trigger = "Less than 100MB free disk space on host1 volume c:"
B: Trigger value = "PROBLEM"
Action: Send an email to a specific user.
PROBLEM: I get the the message, only if the user I'm sending the message too, has email with a "Use if severity" includes "Average" which is the severity of the trigger.
The issue is, I specifically want to send this message to the user, regardless of the severity. (As in, severity is not a condition of the action, only the Trigger Name, and last value of the trigger key are.)
Additionally, I still get a message through to Admin, because he has a "Use if severity" = Average.
It's almost like there is a default action for all triggers, which is to notify users if trigger.severity = user.severity.
The questions is:-
1. How do I stop the default sending of notifications, based one severity, or at the very least stop it from generating default notifications / trigger.
2. How do I get it to generate a notification regardless of what the user's severity level is set to?
Thanks in advance,
Warren
PS: Sorry for the long message, but I've hunted around and I can't seem to find anything quite like what I'm talking about.
