    Active and Passive monitoring of a TCP service

    Environment:

    Zabbix server 2.4
    Tomcat server 8.0 (JRE 8)
    Zabbix agent 2.0

    Problem:
    The TCP service (Tomcat) runs on the monitored host at tcp/8080.
    As you are aware, the service can go down owing to either
    (a) the server process being terminated
    (b) or the service access point (tcp/8080) not being visible to the clients (owing a firewall on the host or some such).

    I would like to monitor (a) using active polling trigger (Ta) and (b) using passive polling trigger (Tp). Hence,
    Ta ==> "The service has stopped"
    Tp ==> "The service is not accessible"

    If the service is down (Ta fires) then its meaningless to issue an alarm that the service is not accessible (Tp).

    How do I define a dependency between Ta and Tp such that Tp will not fire if Ta has fired?

    Regards,
