Multiple host combined trigger / action

[amanogue]

Hello.

I'm trying to launch a action to shutdown to my hosts when 2 of my UPS get under 15min remaining battery.

I'm able to do this if I only use one host (ups) at the action. No way to do it work using two hosts (the two required ups).

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Add dummy host (with interface on localhost/127.0.0.1) and using UPS snmp monitoring data create trigger evaluating data from multiple sources.
With this go to Configuration -> Actions switch to trigger and add in condition your "trigger name" and "trigger value".
In Operations tab switch "Execute on:" to "zabbix server", add remote command which will cause shutdown of your host(s).
Your command will be executed on server or proxy (if your dummy host is monitored over proxy).

If you have more like this group of hosts you should create template and use it on multiple dummy hosts.
It shuld be possible to use set of macros in such template pointing to macroed UPSes and to use macroed hostnames which should be shuted down.
"Trigger name" of course in this case must be unique to not fire your actions in other conditions :P

Thank you kloczek

Could you please tell me how to create trigger evaluating data from multiple sources? I've never done that before.

Thanks in advance.

Go to you host/template triggers -> "create trigger" -> on right side of the "Expression" editor area you have small "Add" rectangle with kind of simple wizard helping entering complicated expression. On choose "Item" you can point to exact hots/template -> items.
When you will finish this wizard in Expression edit are will be exact trigger expression which you can modify on defining more such triggers.

Yep .. something like this.

This is probably better handled by using a more generic action type and just having more reducers listen to it. If there are mutations that would also trigger after more specific actions are dispatched you can call functions that do that mutation in multiple reducers Walgreens Survey.
