OK this is kind of a complated question about maps.
We are developing some maps and we want to do alerts on host groups and applications. We are using Zabbix applications to represent an application stack. meaning a stack require a database, some custom application service and a web interface. these three components most likely will be running on three or more servers. We will also create three templates for each of these type of servers. one for the database server, application server and web server. In each of these templates I will create an Zabbix application and assign that to each of the key services required for the application to function.
What I have found is that in the maps the applications do not cross the templates. Meaning if I have a Zabbix application call "Our App" and add that to the SQL Server, Our App and Web Server, Create a trigger for each of these. When I stop the SQL server I see the trigger for the one item the SQL server, but it is not triggering the item "Our App" on the map item that is looking at the Host Group for the Zabbix application "Our App".
The question is should the "Our App" cross templates?
