Trigger Help

[esawyja]

I have a script that checks a number of processes and will return a 0 when all is ok and 1 when all is not ok, it works fine with
zabbix_get -s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -p 10050 -k system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"]
1
But the trigger does not seem to work, as far as I can understand, is that the trigger will compare the value that it has in the DB with the value that comes in and will trigger is there is a diff? My trigger is defined as
system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"].last(0)}#0, so if the output of the script is not equal to zero, it should trigger? It does, but then when the scripts runs again, when the value in DB is 1 and the next value is 1, the alarm clears. Can anyone assist? Please

well, being honest I don’t like that you closing curly bracket in your expression } even though you have never opened one {

try,
{HOSTNAME:system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"].last(0)}#0
this is my guess

[esawyja]

Sorry yes the hostname is included, I just copied the important stuff

or rather the template

{Template_Linux_001:system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"].last(0)}#0

and yes the host is part of the template

{xx.xxx.xxx-SAS-xxx-xxxx 4.xx.xxx:system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"].last(0)}#0

[Davidus]

I`m using pretty much similar trigger and its work fine
{SERV1:telnet.run[hroot,172.30.141.150].last(0)}>90

try >0 instead of #0
taking a guess again

[Davidus]

Try to avoid spaces in your trigger expression!
I see one space here:
{xx.xxx.xxx-SAS-xxx-xxxx 4.xx.xxx:system.run["/etc/zabbix/scripts/roro.sh"].last(0)}#0

[esawyja]

Ok I have removed all spaces, tried >0, #0...., No luck.
What happens is that when Zabbix sees the change, IE, it changes from 0 to 1, the alarm triggers, but then when the next run off the script occur, the output from the script is still 1, Zabbix seems to compare what was peviously with what is now, if there is no change, the alarm will clear, what I need is a trigger that will activate the alarm if the output from the script is 1 and maintain the alarm for as long as the output from the script is 1.... Please help, I'm loosing my hair over this....

Zabbix seems to compare what was peviously with what is now, if there is no change, the alarm will clear

Basically this happens with diff



My advice would be following, try to create brand new trigger
Don’t create these trigger in/for template, create it directly in host

[esawyja]

Thanks, I deleted all and recreated all, now it seems to work....

You are welcome
