Trigger status in graph

[Navern]

Hello, all.
I am running zabbix 2.0.3 version.
I want to create graph where you can see is specific process runs or not. If it would be like a table that's better:
apache : running
nginx : running
mysql : running
and this table would be placed on the screen among other information.
I want to have that in a boolean form, not a graph with "number of process" info because you cant see if some process runs or not.
Is there a way to do it? If there is what is a better way to do it.

Is there anyone who knows solution to this? Everything i've come so far is simple to map values and made some graph with zero/one values. Or maybe pie, but this is not so clear as i want table looks more suitable for this case. Help me, please.

Hi,

I think you can use some king of triggers which has been have several states for the same process. And add it for some screen with

Status of host triggers - status of triggers filtered by the host

for more detail look in documentation

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/config/visualisation/screens

For example:
Information Severity:

{[url]www.zabbix.com:proc.num[/url][httpd].last()}>0  and has name Apache running.

It will be visible all time on the screen.

Disaster Severity:

{[url]www.zabbix.com:proc.num[/url][httpd].last()}=0  and name Apache DOWN.

It will be red color)

Information trigger will be shown on dashboard as well all of the time. Am i right? And i wont be able to see some errors maybe. Anyway thanks for interesting way to resolve this task.

It's a good solution really, but i will create not 1-2 triggers, so it will get messy on dashboard. I dont want it.
Maybe do you have another good idea? =) I will appreciate it.

Also You can rewrite the zabbix frontend as you need

p/s if you know php

It's enough to know that i can't complete this task with current zabbix version. If there is a possibility to complete this task is would be good to know it.

Use the trigger dependencies or build complex expressions. For example, instead of adding to the map triggers "App port is Down", "Log file contains errors", "Client queue is big", you can add one trigger "MY_Application is DOWN" which is considered as the "sum" of the previous three.
It is not always easy, but overall, zabbix allows you to build a very interesting maps (here's an example from the internet).
