Zabbix DB: triggers.value/priority question

[rheoled]

Hi, all.

I have a Zabbix 1.4 mysql installation. I ran the following SQL query:

select from_unixtime(lastchange), triggerid, value, status, priority, description from triggers
where triggerid = 19138;

I got the following result:

from_unixtime(lastchange) triggerid value status priority description
2010-04-15 14:02:21 19138 0 0 4 DISK / 1

Question: How can a trigger have a value of 0 (false/untriggered) with a priority of 4 (error)? What does that mean?

Thanks.

Ed

Anybody know if there is any 1.4 schema documentation? Specifically, the precise meanings of the various codes and how they work together?

Just trying to figure out if triggers.priority is to be ignored if triggers.value = 0/false...

[zabbix_zen]

the triggers.priority means the Trigger defined Severity.

So of those possible 0,1,2,3,4,5 your query returns actually mean,
Not Classified, Information, Warning, Average, High, Disaster

BTW: You should really consider upgrading..

[rheoled]

If triggers.value = 0 (false/untriggered), should a triggers.priority value of 4 (error) or 5 (disaster) be ignored??

In other words, does triggers.priority have any meaning when triggers.value = 0?

[zabbix_zen]

I take it you're asking when the Trigger is inactive if you have to be concerned about it......
No..

does triggers.priority have any meaning when triggers.value = 0?

Exactly the same when triggers.value = 1,
that you configured that specific Trigger with that given priority/severity

Ah, so the priority is set by configuration of a trigger, not by the result of a functional test. OK, that helps clear my confusion. Thanks.
