Setting Triggers for Master and Dependent CPU Idle Time and Utilization Items
I am working with the "Linux by Zabbix server agent" template, which provides two items for monitoring CPU:
I have set up triggers for both items separately, with CPU utilization dependent on CPU idle time, but I am encountering issues, and the triggers are not working as expected.
Here are the triggers I attempted to configure:
CPU idle time:This should alert if CPU idle time drops below 10%.
last(/zabbix-centos9testbox.pacific.edu/system.cpu.util[,idle]) < 10
CPU utilization:This should alert if CPU utilization exceeds 90%
last(/zabbix-centos9testbox.pacific.edu/system.cpu.util) > 90
Both items were configured using the "Linux by Zabbix server agent" template, but I suspect there may be issues with the dependency or the expressions themselves.
How can I properly configure these triggers so they work as intended, considering the master and dependent item relationship?

- CPU idle time (system.cpu.util[,idle]): This is the master item.
- CPU utilization (system.cpu.util): This is the dependent item.
