Hi,
I am new to the Zabbix platform and am enjoying getting used to the system, I am now trying to adjust the configuration to reduce the amount of zero impacting alerts.
We are monitoring numerous Cisco switches in our environment and large portion of the ports are used for user network connections. We do not need to be alerted for these user ports. I would ideally like to adjust the trigger in a way so that it only alerts if the port description equals 'User Switchport' for example. I understand we would be able to do this in a manual way simply by disabling all triggers that contain 'User Switchport'. However, if the ports were repurposed it would then be a manual task to re-enable the triggers.
Is there a way that an expression can be added referencing the port description which is the macro {#IFALIAS}? e.g. only trigger if {#IFALIAS} does not equal 'User Switchport'? This way, if a port was repurposed the trigger would become active since the port description would be updated.
Thanks
