Automatic Severity change

[cdag]

Hello,

I have an item that returns the following values :
0 => OK
1 => Running
2 => Warning
3 => Error
I would like to set up a kind of trigger whose severity is able to change regarding the return value of my item.
I've tried to set up several triggers but it's not convenient because if the return value is 0 (Status is OK) all the over trigger are in PROBLEM state.
I was thinking of trigger dependency but I'm not sure it is the best solution.

Does somebody already experience this kind of problem ? Or do I have to change my mind on the way I have designed the key ?

I suppose that you want to raise a trigger for Warning and Error values only.

You can define:
trigger1 : {host:item.last(0)}=2
with severity=Warning

trigger2 : {host:item.last(0)}=3
with severity=High

And that's all.
You don't need to define dependencies since your triggers will never be in PROBLEM state at the same time.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I need
I've tested and it does the trick.
