Simple question about Actions

[cbidwell]

Hi all,

I want to configure zabbix so that when it sends out an email notifying of status, that it doesn't say:

OFF, it actually will say UP or DOWN instead of OFF or ON. How can I do this?

I thought it would be {TRIGGER.VALUE} but that's just a 1 or 0.

Thanks guys.

Is this even possible? Does anyone know how to do this?

It's kind of weird displaying status messages as a double negative:

Status: OFF Apache or something. A first glance would make it seem that apache is DOWN.

I want it do display: Apache is DOWN on {HOSTNAME}

I use the trigger name to supply the status message. I have a trigger like a Simple ICMPping on a router. The trigger is named "Connection Timeout POP7".

The Action is configured to look at
Host group = "routers" and
Trigger description like "Connection".

The Subject line is {TRIGGER.NAME}
The Message is {DATE}-{TIME}:{TRIGGER.NAME}

The message I get on my cell phone is "Connection Timeout POP7"
and the body of the message gives me the date and time the message was generated (in case of delivery delays).

This works well for me, but I am trying to figure out why I get two messages with each event.

I suggest that you create your actions based on a trigger name which describes the nature of the event. So when your trigger called "Apache is down" detects that the apache trigger is ON (0)...

This was an easy one for me. I had the same problem. I was getting notifications as the admin and as a user.
