Paging after Multiple Failures of the same Trigger

[eric.sysmin]

The Story:

I am trying to page only after multiple of the same failures. Basically, if said failure occurs once, but the next check is fine then not to send a notification or perform an action. But if failure occurs multiple times then to send a notification.

Where I am at:

({solr-cst-primary2lumber_sp_count.php[{HOST.CONN},cst-primary2,12].abschange(#3)}/{solr-cst-primary2lumber_sp_count.php[{HOST.CONN},cst-primary2,12].prev(#3)})>0.20

But I am now seeing that I may actually just be looking at only the 3rd to last value and not actually counting anything.

Are there any suggestions or anything I should read to see what I should be doing?

Thank you for your help.

To get more information on trigger functions, take a look here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...gers/functions

The "abschange" and "prev" functions that you are using ignore parameters entirely, so your trigger isn't using the 3rd to last value.


To do what you want, I suggest looking at this section of the manual:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/config/notifications/action/escalations

Escalations allow you to set up paths where a trigger must be active for certain periods of time before any alerts are sent out.
