"grouping" of triggers

[tmarx]

Hi!

I'm monitoring several servers if there are updates available. When there are updates available I will get notifications from every server. As more and more servers are added, this slowly goes out of hand.

So I was thinking about changing this. All I want to receive is a single notification if there are servers with available updates eg. in a host group.

I've searched the docs, the net and this forums, but couldn't find a solution for this. Is this not possible or did I just miss something obvious?

Regards,

sound like a task for global event correlation or trigger dependency.

Hi!

Thanks!

Global event correlation sounds exactly like what I'm looking for!

Problem is that the docs are a bit scarce about that feature... I have now added tags to the relevant triggers and created a new correlation which "resolves" those triggers... But what now? How do I create an action for that correlation? Where can I find the correlation? It's not shown under "Problems", etc.?

If close new event is selected then you will see in frontend problem section "resolved by correlation"

Hi!

Ok, but what about actions? I would like to have a single notification for multiple problems.

With the correlation I can disable the action for those triggers and the triggers will be closes automatically, but then I will get no notifications at all?

Thats not really what I want

You can close only new events. You will still have one problem event and one notification.
