showing external link if a trigger event occurs

[marmul]

Hi,
we want to monitor an application and related data in Zabbix(done via custom scripts). In some cases when data is inconsistent we want to offer the user a link, so he can jump directly from zabbix to a web application where he can fix the data. Of course this only works if the users is online in Zabbix. Of course he will get an email notification too.
So i want to ask, is there a possibility to call or show external links(dynamically generated) in the zabbix frontend ....
or can i only do this via actions and emails?

Regards
Markus

showing external link if a trigger event

yeah that's true but where do i access it? I filled the trigger.url field for example with "http://www.zabbixisgreat.com". I never see this field anymore and the web page is also not opening when the trigger event occurs....

(I'm using 1.6.1 at the moment)

Hi Markus

if there is an URL for a certain trigger clicking on the trigger name
will open the URL - although in the same window/tab depending on the
browser. This works in 1.4,x and 1.6.x versions of ZABBIX. At least
in 1.6.5 this works from the dashboard, too.

Unfortunately, there are no macros out-of-the-box for this URL.
That means it is a fix.
We added, e.g., the hostname and the triggername as Macros {HOSTNAME}
and {TRIGGERNAME} like in other parts of ZABBIX, e.g., actions.
In that way we can access online help for every trigger / hostname combination.
To not hide the current display, we changed the behaviour to open the website
in a different tab/window.

HTH,

Norbert.
