Hi all,
I'm just testing out Zabbix and I seem to have hit some problems. Could someone confirm I'm doing things correctly?
Set-up:
Server - Zabbix 1.4.2 on Ubuntu with apache/MySQL
Target - Windows XP SP2 with agent installed
Using the standard templates I've got the monitor running and gathering data which I can see in the graphs.
I'm trying to set up a test alert that monitors the disk space of the C: drive of the target and sends a warning when it drops below 11Gb. I'm using the standard Items "Template_Windows:Free Disk Space on C:" (vfs.fs.size[c:,free]) and I'm running it every 5 seconds.
I can see the correct values appear in the "Monitoring - Latest Data" tab so I think this is working ok.
I then set up a trigger based on "Template_Windows:Low free disk space on Davids PC volume c:" which reads "{Davids PC:vfs.fs.size[c:,free].last(0)}<11000".
Finally, I've set up a number of actions (basically one from each of the possible trigger values. e.g. Host, Severity level, description, Value, Period) which should each send an email to my account when the trigger happens.
The problem is that although the graphs clearly show the free space rise and fall there is no mail generated. I did manage to get it to mail me once, so the triggers and actions do look to be properly set, but I've had nothing after that despite not making any changes and I'm just manually copying and deleting a file to get me below/above the trigger value.
What I really want to happen is to get a mail every time the free space drop, a follow up at given intervals while below the specified level (which I don't see any way of specifying although the manual seems to imply it exists) and a final mail when the space goes back above the trigger point.
So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
