Hello Forum,
I have a usecase where I want to check ICMP for a host server as well as Zabbix Agent availability. These would be from two different templates so I believe I would need to Link two templates together.
My goal is to create a new trigger with an expression that takes into account both items from each template:
Check Ping
and
Check Zabbix agent availability
and
if both of the above items fail a critical alert will be created.
I'm hoping this forum can help me with how to link two templates together and how to create the proper expression in the trigger. I know I'll receive a high alert for ping and a high alert for the Zabbix agent not running. But I'd like to combine these item checks into a new trigger to give me a disaster alert. In this way I can be more sure that the host is really down and not just that the agent isn't running.
I tried the following expression:
last(/Linux by Zabbix agent/zabbix[host,agent,available])=0 and last(/ICMP Ping/icmpping)=0
But I received an error that said "Trigger "Ping and Agent Not Responding" belong to templates with different linkages."
Thank you.
