Enable Triggers or Items using action.

[ShiningMan]

Hi all!

I've searched around and havent found anything like what i am looking for..
I'm using Zabbix to monitor some of my services. One thing I have is one Item that returns me the total count of items in a queue, and other Item that counts the items in that queue that match some criteria. I made some triggers to warn me about that too..
When I don't have items in the queue, i already know that the second Item will have the value 0 also.
Is there a way for me to make the second query only if the first Item is major than 0?
I've searched for a way to enable an Item an using the actions, but found nothing..

Thank you!

this currently isn't supported. you could try searching feature request tracker, and if there are no existing requests, add it.

Hi ShiningMan,

how about using trigger dependencies? would that be an option?
Of course, you would always be monitoring both items, but when it comes to alarming/doing some actions, you restict it be using dependencies!

Trigger dependencies

Hi!
Thank you for your suggestions.
My idea was to reduce the agent requests because some of them take some time and cpu on the monitored machine.
I think trigger dependencies helps in reducing zabbix server processing, but the main problem is on the agent side.

I'll search feature request tracker.
Thank you.
