create a trigger refering to items in 2 templates

[TiYab]

Hi,

I can't figure how to implement a trigger in a template that reference an item from another template.

I would like to set a trigger that do the following:
- if VM1(based on the name) and process is running -> OK
- if VM2 and process is not running -> OK
- if VM1 and process is not running -> KO
- if VM2 and process is running -> KO

I have set the following Template MyProcess, item MyProcess, trigger MyProcess

Does this happen to be a load balanced cluster behind a VIP? If so, I have an example for that. If not you will need to use two different templates or host based items\triggers. Server 1 (or Primary) will need to be monitored for the service not running condition and Server 2 will need to be monitored for the running condition.

sadly not a cluster behind a VIP.
For the moment I am using 2 templates and was kind of hoping to be able to manage that in a single template.

too bad
