When we set up Zabbix, we applied the default templates, with an idea to fine tuning as we saw what wasn't quite right.
We get a couple of triggers firing too early for the servers they are on - IO wait is one in particular.
I can't work out how to changes the IO wait values through the web interface?
I feel that the obvious place to do this would be All Templates -> <Template in question> -> Triggers -> trigger.
But that doesn't seem to be an editable interface. So I click one of the other links, and end up on that trigger's Items page. There doesn't seem to be anything on that page which would be a measure to trigger against.
If I look in Applications, I see CPU and I click on that, but there's nothing in there either.
I presume I am meant to be editing the trigger (because it's name would suggest this).
I presume that the "Expression" field is the field that I would need to edit in order to reduced how ofter the trigger fires.
How do I edit a trigger?
I have a sneaking suspicion that you *can't* edit triggers, and you need to clone then fix. But there's nothing that says as much *explicitly* in the docs that I can see. And I think that given a web interface to a trigger, it's reasonable to expect to be able to edit that trigger through that interface.
What am I missing here?
