trigger like nagios (3 attempts then send mail)

[wikisb]

hi all!
i want to create a trigger that does 3 attempts before sending an e-mail like in nagios.
for example i monitorize a service "x" and i want a trigger that makes first 3 attempts to check that this service is up, if after 3 checks the service is still down then i want zabbix to send me an email.
for example:
i want this trigger checked 3 times so if after 3 checks its still down then send me a mail

{fsystem:zext_nagios.sh[ssh {HOSTNAME}].max(10)}#0

thanks!!

Hi,

You can use :

 {fsystem:zext_nagios.sh[ssh {HOSTNAME}].count(#3,2)} = 3

to check that last 3 values are 2 (critical).

{fsystem:zext_nagios.sh[ssh {HOSTNAME}].count(#3,1,ge)} = 3

to check that last 3 values are greater or equal to 1 (warning).

More details on count function in the manual

thanks once again JBo

{fsystem:zext_nagios.sh[ssh {HOSTNAME}].count(#3,1,ge)} = 3

it's what i needed
for simple checks that return 1 as OK i did the following

{fsystem:zext_nagios.sh[ssh {HOSTNAME}].count(#3,1,ne)} = 3
