The Zabbix server is version 1.8.6. I'm doing a basic test that includes the following.
- The host being monitored is a Windows server that has the Zabbix Agent (1.8.10) on it. The template that this server uses has two triggers.
Name: Server {HOSTNAME} is unreachable
Expression: {Template_Windows:icmpping.sum(#2)}=0
Information: Items are checked every thirty seconds.
Name: Zabbix agent on server {HOSTNAME} is unavailable
Expression: {Template_Windows:agent.ping.nodata(90)}=1
Depends on: Template_Windows : Server Template_Windows is unreachable
Information: Items are checked every thirty seconds.
- There are two actions being used.
Name: Server is unreachable
Conditions: Trigger value = "PROBLEM" AND
Trigger = "Template_Windows:Server {HOSTNAME} is unreachable"
Escalation enabled
Name: Zabbix agent on server {HOSTNAME} is unavailable
Conditions: Trigger value = "PROBLEM" AND
Trigger = "Template_Windows:Zabbix agent on server {HOSTNAME} is unavailable"
Escalation enabled
After the Windows server is shutdown I only get the email saying the Server {HOSTNAME} is unreachable and nothing about the Zabbix agent is unavailable. After the Windows server comes back up, I get the email saying the Server is available (resolved), but I also get an email saying there is a problem with the Zabbix agent on that server and then a few seconds later I get an email saying the Zabbix agent problem has been resolved. I'm wonder if this is the normal process. Let me know.
