    few questions

    Hi there,

    I am still getting further with Zabbix. It's an amazing piece of software!
    But... I have a few questions:
    1. I am behind an ADSL line and monitoring online servers somewhere else. I use several actions which send me an sms whenever something fails. The problem is that when my adsl line is a few minutes off (which happens once in a while). I get about 40 sms's. Is there a way that this can be filtered? For example if there are more than 3 simultaniously actions at 3 different servers, don't send an email/sms for every action but 1 big "mayday" email/sms.
    2. I am using webmonitoring and have these triggers:
    {website1:web.test.rspcode[Homepage1,Homepage1].avg(250)}#200
    and
    {website1:web.test.time[Homepage1,Homepage1,resp].avg(400)}>1
    I check this every 2 minutes, however after 1 error the action is triggered and I am getting an sms.
    Is avg not possible with web triggers?

    Thanks,

    Roger

    you can set up a trigger, e.g. a ping to google or any other highly availible server on the net.
    Then you can set up this trigger as a dependency for your online triggers. So when this trigger becomes true (which means in most cases that you're offline), the other triggers don't beconme true.

    I belive this is mentioned in the docs somewhere...
    Big ZABBIX is watching you!
