trigger for latest data in log

[ezols]

Hey,

Im having problems creating simple trigger on zabbix 6.2, when any new data shows up it log file I want to execute trigger.
In zabbix 5.x i did it:
1. item - logrt[/path/to/log/error_files_*]
2. trigger - {host:logrt[/path/to/log/error_files_*].last(#1)}<>0

This works without problems, whenever something new shows up in error_files_* trigger gets executed.

In zabbix 6.2 i did it:
1. item - logrt[/path/to/log/error_files_*]
2. trigger - last(/host/logrt[/path/to/log/error_files_*],#1)
Created trigger based on this https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ctions/history

Example:
=> last(/host/key) → retrieve the last value

But this doesn't work, items is updated with latest entries, but trigger not firing.
Can you please advise a proper trigger in zabbix 6.2 which would execute if any new data shows up in error_files_* logs?

Thanks in advance.

in 5.x you had comparison there "<>0" ... Why did you omit it in v6.2?

i tried with <>0 and without, had no luck, but fix was simple, changed back to <>0 disabled, enabled trigger all working. if i just edited same trigger without disabling/enabling then it didn't work even with <>0
Case closed.

Thanks.

Triggers will be recalculated, when new values arrive, so if you just modify trigger and no new values arrive, it does not fire. I guess recalculation also takes place, when enabling a trigger (eventho no mention in docs https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...onfig/triggers ), that's why you got your result with disabling/enabling.

A trigger expression is not evaluated when it gets enabled. Only on receiving a value (or, if time-based functions are used in the expression, every 30 seconds). Will try to push adding this note to that page:
