Trigger Only After Multiple Items = X

[bcarpio]

So I have a trigger for web page, and I check it every 60 seconds, for some reason once in a while my zabbix server can't reach it, but I don't want to trigger every time the zabbix server can't reach the website, I only want to trigger when zabbix can't reach the website x number of times.

Or even for CPU load, I don't necessary want to trigger when the CPU load reaches 5 the first time but only after CPU load is 5 for x number of checks.

I generally use "last" in my expression, but what would I need to change so I can only trigger after x number of events:

{Template_Linux:system.cpu.load[,avg1].last(0)}>5

Hi,

You can use min() or max() instead of last() for that.

{Template_Linux:system.cpu.load[,avg1].min(#10)}>5

will trigger only if CPU load is above 5 in last 10 checks.

Check the manual for details.
