Selection of triggers in a screen

[ferri]

Hello everybody, I'm novice concerning the administration of Zabbix, I have a problem and I hope someone will be able to help me.
In my company, I'm responsible for implementing Zabbix for our clients so I have to do something straightforward.
What we do especially with Zabbix is supervising the backup copy of the servers every day. I created a template (with just 2 items and 1 trigger) to do that because it's practically the same method for each host.
At the same time, I have some specific items for particular hosts and here is the problem. Indeed, I created a screen in which I choose to display the overview of triggers for my group of hosts.
So I would like to obtain just the trigger included in the template. Unfortunately, when I observe my screen, I can see this one but also those attached to a particular host.

If you can see the picture, I want to see the trigger "Sauvegarde" for each hosts (just two here) and not the other one (which is specific to the host "srvad1").

I hope I was enough accurate and what I ask you is possible!
Thank you

Hi Ferri,

I'm afraid you can not do this.
What you can do to achieve somewhat the same effect is this:

Go to monitoring -> triggers.
Set group to "all" and host to "all".
Open the filter, set trigger status to "any" and in "filter by name" specify the trigger name.
Click on the "filter" button.

That should give you an overview for that trigger for all hosts.

I hope that will help,

First of all, thank you very much for answering so fast.
The problem with your method is that I don't see anymore my green squares. Now, I have only the status of the trigger. So, if there is no event (that is to say a problem with my backup), there is no line in my screen.
Here is my filter, maybe I have made a mistake:

Triggers: Show only the problems (I cannot select Display all)
Events: Display all (7 days)
Minimal severity: All
To Select: Sauvegardes:Sauvegarde (Sauvegardes is the template name and Sauvegarde is the trigger name)

Is there any similar system of filter in the Overview section?

Hi Ferri,

I've got it like this. As you can see, you still have the triggers with and without problems on the screen.
Not as fancy as the overview screen, but it gives the information you want.

What version are you using?

Is there any similar system of filter in the Overview section?

No, sorry. You can file a feature request if you want at https://support.zabbix.com.

I'm using Zabbix 1.8.2 and I don't have the same parameters in the filter!

If this is an alternative for you, then i'd suggest upgrading to 1.8.4 or 1.8.5 (when it is released).

I think I'm gonna upgrade my Zabbix. I keep you posted.

I answer after a long time, I worked on other projects.
I have now my Zabbix 1.8.4 as you said. I implemented the filter in the trigger section and there was no problem.


The problem remains in the fact that I have to adjust the filter everytime while I would like to automate that.

Is there a solution?
Thanks a lot.
