Hi Guys,
I was implementing Zabbix recently and started with simple host checks -
I'm monitoring external server (just for this example, i added server address 8.8.4.4) with the following configurations:
-Added host to the hosts list
-Added application named "ICMP Test"
-Added item with the following configurations:
Name: ICMP Test
Type: Simple Check
Key: icmpping[8.8.4.4,1,2000,32,2000]
Host Interface: 8.8.4.4:10050
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
Update interval: 30s
Custom Intervals: Flexible
Show value: As is
Applications: ICMP Test
Populates host inventory field: None
-Added trigger with the following configurations:
Name: Ping dropping on Server1 for more then 20 seconds
Severity: choose whatever you want
Expression:
{8.8.4.4:icmpping[8.8.4.4,1,2000,32,2000].last(20)}<1
OK event generation: Expression
PROBLEM event generation mode: Single
OK event closes: all problems
Now, my problem is - according to the configuration, Zabbix checking the external host every 30 seconds, in case the ping is not response, Zabbix system sending notification to me, but since i'm working in a place with unstable internet, it can happens a lot.
my goal is that Zabbix will check the ping and only in case 4-5 pings are not responding in range of 10-15 second, the trigger will send the notification.
can you help me change the trigger configurations?
Thank you
