Service state in Trigger Name, how ?

[RuudH]

I am using triggers to check whether Windows Services are running or not, but I like to get the mapped value in the trigger name. Is this possible ?

ie.
Trigger Name = "SMTP Service on {HOSTNAME} {ITEM.VALUE}

This gives the issue "SMTP Service on mailserver 6" when the service is stopped.

I would like to get "SMTP Service on mailserver stopped", where as the ITEM.VALUE corresponds to the valuemapping of the Windows Service state.

Think you kan use value mapping - see sec. 3.1.5:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...ministration?s[]=value%20mapping#general

You also have to change "Show value" under item defination as I read.

Hi Erik,

thanks for your reply, but as far as I can see you can use the value mappings only on the item for explanation purposes and you can't use them on trigger names.

I want to have a single trigger that reports the status if the service is not running instead of creating a trigger for every Windows Service State.

If you can explain how to do that, I would be very

Hi
Yes sorry, now I can see it is only for explanation.

I got another idee, you may or may not use. I did a small test with a "user micro" and it worked for me.
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...os#user_macros

As I understand you get a integer value from your item eg 6, so you create a Host/template/global user macro:
{$STATUS6} = DOWN

And change the trigger name to something like:
Trigger Name = "SMTP Service on {HOSTNAME} {$STATUS{ITEM.VALUE}}"
Zabbix will "expand" {$STATUS{ITEM.VALUE}} to {$STATUS6} and you will get: "SMTP Service on hostxyz DOWN"
Hope you can use it.
