Trouble understanding count function

[sscheib]

All,

I am trying to make use of the count function in my trigger definitions.
My understanding of this function is, that it will take last N values (depending whether the count is defined as a number of retrieved values or a time frame) and compare all of these values against the condition defined in the trigger.
So I have defined the following trigger expression:

count(/Template App Netatmo Weather/netatmo.weather.namodule4.rf_status[{#STATION_NAME},{#MODULE_NAME}],#48,"ge",90)

My understanding of the trigger is as follows:
- If *all* of the last 48 retrieved values are greater or equal to 90, the trigger will fire

Accordingly I have defined the following recovery expression for that trigger:

count(/Template App Netatmo Weather/netatmo.weather.namodule4.rf_status[{#STATION_NAME},{#MODULE_NAME}],#6,"lt",90)

Again, my understanding:
- If all of the last 6 retrieved values are less than 90, the trigger will recover

Is this assumption correct or am I totally missing the point?

The trigger fires already after a few (e.g. 2 or 3) values are greater or equal than 90 and will take a very long time (e.g. half a day) to recover, while I provide new values every 5 minutes.

Could somebody provide any hints what I might do wrong here?

For reference, I use the latest Zabbix 6.0 release.

Thanks, and all the best,
Steffen

count receives the number of values that matches your criteria... ie..

count(/Template App Netatmo Weather/netatmo.weather.namodule4.rf_status[{#STATION_NAME},{#MODULE_NAME}],#48,"ge",90)

returns number of values that are greater or equal to 90 in last 48 values... So, if you want to use that in trigger, you should add equation there..

count(/Template App Netatmo Weather/netatmo.weather.namodule4.rf_status[{#STATION_NAME},{#MODULE_NAME}],#48,"ge",90)=48

Then all those values have to match your criteria (ge 90) for the trigger to fire..

Recovery expression is additional criteria for trigger to become false... so at first your main trigger expression has to become false and then recovery expression must become true for that whole trigger to become false... And again, you are missing the number to match it against..

Fantastic! Now that you told me what it should look like it is so obvious, but I couldn't figure that out myself.
Thanks a lot!!
