How do I createa trigger when a simple SNMP device is offline?

[John_W]

My first thought is to determine if a ping has not gotten a response in a given amount of time, but being new to Zabbix, I have never created a trigger. How should I create a trigger to do this?

Start by applying a factory SNMP and ping template to a device and see how it behaves.

OK. I've added the icmp ping template to the UPS groups I created in the Discovery Actions page. I'll post back if it works as I expect.
