server.status question

[smitty]

Hello all -

I currently have the following trigger:

{server01:status.last(0)}=2

I understand that the "last(0)" is the most recent value. What does the "2" signify?

Also, I'd like to make this trigger "less sensitive", IE: check the last 3 responses so that the trigger only fires if 3 server.status checks are bad - how would I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Status = 2 means "Unreachable". You can see value mappings in Administration -> General -> Value Mapping. Also you can see which mapping you are using on the item configuration.

To make the trigger 'less sensitive' you can use the min() function. Let's say you collect this item every 30seconds, so you want the trigger to raise if the last 3 values equals 2. This means: min(90)=2.

{server01:status.min(90)}=2
