Question about Triggers

[Diablosblizz]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem modifying stock triggers (such as FTP, HTTP, etc). Basically, I don't want to get alerts for these if the Zabbix agent is down. Obviously if the Zabbix agent is down, then chances are the rest are as well. Whenever I reboot a system, I get flooded with at least 30 emails.

I tried doing as the below, but it's obviously not working. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody give me any advise?



Thanks!

In your screen shot look at the tab to the right for dependencies. Set up a trigger for the system.agent key, and then make that a dependency of your other triggers. This way if the agent is not reachable it should suppress alerts for the other tests. Also see the docs on trigger dependencies there is at least 1 example there.
