Been using zabbix for a few months now on a Gentoo machine. First started out with the ebuild from packages.gentoo.org which happend to be zabbix 1.1 alpha 7. Worked ok and was able to get it to work the way I wanted to, though there were numerous bugs. I recently upgraded with a clean install to 1.1 beta 8 and even 9. I am thouroughly confused with the differences in the "actions" section.
Here's the problem Im having in a nutshell. I have several webservers being monitored. We'll say 10 to make it easy. When two of the ten servers go down at the same time, I am only getting the first notification of a downed server. once I log in and look, I can see that there are actually two down via the zabbix front end. I look in "Monitoring/Actions" and it even says only the first server message was sent. Here is where it loses me. I fix the first server and its back online. server two is still down. and still no notification sent of server two being down. I go and fix server two and then the notification gets sent that it is down. WTF?!?!?! Only after I fixed the second one does it send the notification.
Now I have checked events as well to make sure that it is showing on (when the server is down). Shouldn't this send a notification as soon as one, two or three server's go down? This is how I had it setup on the alpha and worked that way. Is it different now or am I just doing something wrong?
If you need a more detailed description please just ask me to post it, but Im hoping I wont have to write an essay with all my configs to get this figured out.
please help
