    Zabbix triggers (ARGHH) check for online status

    Hi I've finally got my triggers working for some devices we monitor with the basic up / down functionality. The triggers then drive an action which in turn email/sms alerts a third party.

    I'm having problems getting my head around the online trigger though.

    We check for when a site / device is offline (no icmp reply) for 20 minutes (We polll at 60 second intervals.) we email or sms alert a third party telling them about the device. For that I use:

    Code:
    {BROADBAND - GENERIC:icmpping.max(#20)}=0
    This works well, and so does the online check which is

    Code:
    {BROADBAND - GENERIC:icmpping.min(#20)}=0
    However there is one exception and I can't figure out how to resolve this. If the site doesn't reply to ICMP for say 5 mins, and then does reply for 20 minutes we get an alert sent saying that the device is online.

    Can anyone assist with advising how I could possible create a check that checks for the site being down for 20 mins, and then online for 20 mins after the down event before triggering the trigger.
Working...
