Raise an alarm if the process is doing many restarts in the last 5 minutes

[vlms]

Hello,

I have an item the retrieves the PID number of a specific process, so that every time the process is restarted, it gets a new PID and the item retrieves it.

How can I create a trigger, base on that item, that will raise an alarm if the PID has changed more then 3 time in the last 5 minutes ?

The object is to raise an alarm if the process is doing many restarts in the last 5 minutes

In Zabbix > ver6 you may use this function in trigger exp:

changecount (/host/key,(sec|#num)<:time shift>,<mode>)

Number of changes between adjacent values within the defined evaluation period

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that I have version 5.4.8

Will this work also, or I need another solution ?
