Take an action through a trigger

[nascimento.rp]

Hi ALL,

I'm a newbie in Zabbix and I have a doubt.

It's possible to take an action through the result of a trigger. By example, I check the connection port with the Oracle by check_port[ip,port], if the trigger return 1, can I run a script based on it?

Thanks

Greetings,

Yes and no. Yes, you can have use a script to make certain things happen, however, until beta1, you are fairly limited on what you can actually pass to the script as arguments. Scripts are a type of media setting in Zabbix. When you create a trigger, you can associate an action to it, the common ones are email a user / group of users or execute an external script. IIRC, there is only a single argument that you can pass in alpha12 (hostname), and that argment gets passed at the end of the command line.

Can you help me on this if it worked for you.

I have several hosts and when a trigger is on I like to active the external script only on the host which triggered it.

I am on zabbix 1.1.7 .

Thx
