Action by trigger from multiple systems

[Silver]

Hello,

I despair at the configuration of action by trigger from multiple systems.

A brief explanation:

System_A: www.google.de
System_B: www.web.de

Item: icmpping
Trigger: No icmpping available

Action: Email notification if System_A *AND* System_B not available(ping).

(System_A: down, System_B: up - NO ACTION; System_A: up, System_B: down - NO ACTION)

Configuration of action:



Zabbix get both trigger, but no action occur:



If I change the type of calculation to *OR*,

then works it propertly:


What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

When both System_A and System_B are unreachable, Zabbix will fire 2 events, one for System_A, the other for System_B.
Condition "Host=System_A AND Host=SystemB" will never be true since each event is only related to ONE host.

What you need to do is to define a trigger that depends on both hosts:

{System_A:icmpping.last(0)}=0 & {System_B:icmpping.last(0)}=0

Just add it to SystemA.

You can then remove "Host=System_A AND Host=SystemB" from your alert.
