Trigger from Template doesn't trigger action

[hegermi]

It seems there is some strange when you want an action to take place based on the name of a trigger defined in a template.

I see events but no action.

Under "CONFIGURATION OF ACTIONS" I have selected

Trigger name like pingloss

which translates into the condition:

Trigger description like "pingloss"

I also tried:

Trigger = pingloss

which translates into the condition:

Trigger = "pingloss"

where I first selected the template "pinghost" and next the "pingloss" trigger in the template (seems logic to me)


I also tried:

Trigger = pinghostingloss

simply adding the template name in front,

which translates into the condition:

Trigger = "pinghostingloss"

Also tried

Trigger description like "%pingloss"

Adding any of these prevents the action to happen. I really would like to be able to have other actions for other triggers.

Can anyone explain how this condition mechanism in "CONFIGURATION OF ACTIONS" works?



I also have a problem with the trigger sometimes going to ON a bit to quick.

I use a simple equation like {pinghost:icmpping.sum(120)} < 1

Sum Sum of values for period of time. Parameter defines length of the period in seconds.

Here I hoped that with a ping every 30 seconds the sum would only go to zero if during the 120 second or 4 poll cycles the ping fails.

I found that the result were unstable. To debug I added some variables to the action.

Last 2: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(60)}
Last 3: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(90)}
Last 4: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(120)}
Last 5: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(150)}
Last 6: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(180)}
Last 7: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(210)}
Last 8: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(240)}
Last 9: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(270)}
Last 10: {{HOSTNAME}:icmpping.sum(300)}

expecting

Last 2: 0
Last 3: 0
Last 4: 0
Last 5: 0
Last 6: 1
Last 7: 2
Last 8: 3
Last 9: 4
Last 10: 5

I got

Last 2: 0
Last 3: 0
Last 4: 0
Last 5: 0
Last 6: 0
Last 7: 1
Last 8: 1
Last 9: 1
Last 10: 1

Can anyone tell me how I should the sum of the last 4 values returned ?

Cheers,

Michel

This is zabbix 1.1.6

I also notice a deviation on the ping

When there is a timely response to ping, a ping is send approximately every 30 sec. When there is no response it seems to wait for a timeout leaving up to 90 sec between pings

Any one have a clue where this timeout is configured?
