problem with actions

[dsipe]

Sorry for that.

i submit my problem again cause dont have any answer on other post.

I create a trigger with the name '{HOSTNAME}: server unreachable'.
When the condition is reached, in the Monitoring->Triggers menu, i found an entry like 'unix_server12: server unreachable' => that's ok.

Now, i want to be warn by email so i create a action on that trigger.
when the trigger get ON, i receive an email, but the {TRIGGER.NAME} macro look like '{HOSTNAME}: server unreachable' instead of 'unix_server12: server unreachable'.

May that be corrected ?

thanks

I believe it works in the latest ZABBIX 1.1.4. What is your version of ZABBIX?

[dsipe]

it's the 1.1.4 ... on a openSuse 10.1

that must definitly work to migrate from Nagios to Zabbix

may i have an answer to that problem please.
it very very important.

today a received mail message like this one [ look @ the attach image ].

I do it this way

I do it this way, first I configure the Itens and the triggers as you did. After that, before I configure the Action I first create an user and its respective media (e-mail) to receive the emails. Next I create the action.
Go to MONITORING > Events , and see if your triggers are being activated. If they are, triggers are working fine, but still could be a problem at your actions or at your user's media. Check that and copy/paste to us, so that we can help you more.

to help you better understand the problem, i've uploaded images of my conf :

zabbix_itemjj.jpg : the item i create to monitor TimeSync on Novell fileserver

zabbix_trigger.jpg : the trigger i create on that item. Note that the trigger's name is using a MACRO

zabbix_action.jpg : the generic action i create which send a message for all triggers with severity >= Warning

zabbix_history_events.jpg : notice that the MACRO inside the trigger's name have well been replace by the server name.

zabbix_history_actions.jpg : notice that the trigger's name is wrong. the MACRO has not been interpreted.

Hope that all of those screen may help !

I think I see your problem. Triggers don't use the macro {HOSTNAME} when you set them up. You need to insert the actual hostname where you have {HOSTNAME} when you define the trigger. If it's part of a template, use the template name in that space. Zabbix automatically changes the listed hostname to the server using the template to define its triggers.

Make any sense?
