Setting up custom triggers

[bigalnz]

So I finally got Zabbix installed after overcoming the firewall issues. I have setup pushover to send alerts. Initially using the trigger action "Report problems to administrator" and just setting it to Push Over.

Now I would like assistance refining the alerts (all my hosts monitored are remote and active reporting). For example:

1. I have setup a server group `VMS` - I only want to send alerts to hosts who are members of this group.
2. I would like to only send alerts on:
a. hosts down (not reporting);
b. disk space free under 5%;
c. a particular windows service not in the running state;
d. all of the above are in error state for more than 10 minutes

I have created the `VMS` group
I have created an alert > trigger action for push over

I now just need to create trigger expressions for these conditions. I see that I can get to the expression constructor from hosts, and that I can go to hosts > triggers which for my windows test host has quite a large list of triggers?

Can someone please assist with expressions for the above conditions?

Is it possible with these conditions to associate it with a group of hosts?

Cheers

I suggest diving into documentation. Things you are asking are more likely there

Read whole thing few times, investigate what items do (in predefined template) and practice
