Nested templates and actions

[jegmond]

Hi all,

I have created several nested templates which should reduce the load of adding triggers to hosts.
For example I have created a Template 'TPing' which has icmpping as item and a trigger associated. I have also created a template called 'T-Class1-Ping' which contains a link to the TPing template. This works as expected and if I assign the T-Class1-Ping template to a host I also see the item and trigger appear.

Another template I created links all class1 items together in a template called T-Class1

So in the end I have

T-Class1 -> T-Class1-Ping -> TPing
         -> T-Class1-Load -> TLoad

T-Class2 -> T-Class2-Ping -> TPing
         -> T-Class2-Load -> TLoad

Now I want to define an action which should send a message based on the class of the device is in. For example I have a host A which is linked to the T-Class1-Ping template and the T-Class1-Load template.
If I define an action with

  - Maintenance status is not in maintenance
  - Template = T-Class1
  - Trigger Value = PROBLEM

I do not get a message if the host becomes unresponsive to pings hoewever the T-Class1-Ping is part of T-Class and the trigger is triggered in T-Class1-Ping (or actually
in T-Ping).

Should it work that way or is there an easy way to accomplish the same or would I have to add all T-Class1-XXX to the action?
