Zabbix 7.2 Setting Dependant Item Value when Parent fails?
Hi All.
We've got a dashboard with Honeycomb widget that shows the state of a number of boolean type item.values on a single host that are a key performance indicator of the system we're monitoring, and are by design checked every 30 seconds, and we use a throttle with a heartbeat on these values, very similar to that shown in the 11 Honeycomb page for a network switch as shwon below.
We've also got triggers on these items, but currently we can too often loose track the resultant problems in the overall list of problems.
These item.values are sourced as a child object (dependant) from a data item XML or JSON stream, and we have a number of triggers on this item that reflect the increasing time since we last saw an update, increasing in problem severity.
However, if the parent item fails to update (error such as timeout), i can't find a way to nullify the values we're got in the host.items dashboard items to show they are out of date. Ideally i'd have the items themselves set to -1 indicating unknown.
Am i missing a trick here? Is there a way to either mark the whole widget as out of date based on the status of a different item or problem, or overwrite the source items.value based on seeing no-data for them?
Ta!
