Trigger debugging / CLI interface

[digit23]

Is there a "live" CLI interface where we can type trigger expression for dev and debug purpose ?

What is your developpement workflow when creating triggers ?

[cyber]

Under "Expression" field is a link "Expression constructor". Clicking there will also reveal a "Test" button...

The expresseion constructor allow to test expression with arbitraty value but not with real data set. It this te only tool to build triggers ?

[cyber]

But what's wrong with arbitrary values? You can enter whatever there and test your expression outcome, why it has to be live data?

[digit23]

That's not wrong. But when you do computational (count, avg, max, min) working on real data, making sure you get result that you need in a realtime CLI interface could be a better trigger developement workflow.

Ok, I see... But I never bothered.. I probably trust Zabbix enough, that it can manage with counting things and giving out min/max values..
