Triggers dependency the other way round

[simonquentel]

Hi everyone,

to my understanding, triggers work that way:
You can configure trigger A so it is only assessed (and thus turned on should the condition be completed) in case trigger B is "OK".

My question is:
Can you do the exact opposite, meaning that trigger A is assessed only in case trigger B is in "problem" status?

Thank you in advance for your replies,

Simon

Don't know if I understand you exactly...

Trigger work that way:
if an item value is received, then that value is fed to all defined triggers and checked against the corresponding trigger conditions.
If a condition is met which sets the trigger to "true", your defined escalations will be checked.
If an escalation rule is defined then the escalation conditions are checked.
If they are met, the escalation will be started.

Vice versa for returning the trigger in the "normal" state.

So, basically there is no linkage between trigger A and trigger B and you cannot access "foreign" trigger expressions or definitions.

On the other hand:
why not define a trigger which checks for more than one condition?
Example:
((some-item.last() > 0) & (some-other-item.sum(#10) < 3))
would fire up if both conditions are met.
