bueller?? Anyone have a solution for this? Why are the items hidden when the web scenario gets created? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Web scenarios are weird
Scenarios create checks that are commonly needed for web pages.
For example: Download speed, Failed connection, and response code.
To see the data a scenario is pulling in go to:
Monitoring >> Latest Data
Set the Group and/or Host to filter out every thing except that host.
You should see the Name of the scenario on the left with a plus sign. Click on that to expand it. There you can see the download speed, connection success or failure, and response code.
All you need are triggers to check the values of those items (No they don't show up under configuration...). Say for example your scenario is called Web (I know a bit generic). Combine the expression for the trigger like so:
Item key: Host:web.test.in[Web,,bps]
--> for the download speed
Item key: Host:web.test.fail[Web]
--> 1 = failed, 0 = success
Item key: Host:web.test.error[Web]
--> 200, 300, 404, etc (standard web error codes)
Item names above are: web.test.in , web.test.fail, web.test.error
Now when you create a scenario put in the actual URL in the Steps. At least at first. When you start getting data then you can try the Macros instead. Especially, when you try to make this into a template.
You should try the example on this page at least once:
Just walk through it and play around.Last edited by arikin; 05-12-2013, 08:35.Comment

What is the item key for searching for a string? Not a response code... ThanksComment

The items automatically created by web scenarios don't return strings.
The response data for Host:web.test.error[Web] would be just the numerical codes. 200, 300, 404, 504, etc.
Trigger expression example:
{Host:web.test.error[Web].last(0)}>200
If you are looking for the returned html body of the webpage then scenarios won't give you that.
If you just want a human readable error code... You could use value mapping under Administration >> General
But you would have to map all of these:

Yes I know what return codes are...
Why is the string function available in the web scenario and you can't key off of it? That makes no sense. I was able to do this manually in 2.0.6 and now that feature is gone? That seems highly unlikely to me...
Before 2.2 was out, I was able to manually create a web scenario for each host, and create the items and triggers.... but now that functionality has been removed when one of the major feature enhancements of 2.2 is the so called "improved" web scenario method...

Can anyone tell me why in 2.2, I am unable to trigger off of a string? Was this feature removed? This is why I was waiting to upgrade to 2.2... This is very frustrating.Comment

Came here looking for the same thing.
As far as I can figure out you can only trigger on status code, not matched string.Comment

The configuration moved in 2.2, it's under each host (or template).Comment

Can someone post the item key for failed step? This issue needs to be resolved...
{host:web.test.fail[Scenario].last(0)}#0
gives me "invalid key format"...... this is the same issue I was having before.Last edited by enkrypt3d; 12-12-2013, 19:46.Comment

Copied from an active template:
{Template App Zabbix Web:web.test.fail[Zabbix web].prev(0)}#0Comment

Last would work, prev above was an accident.Comment
