Making distributed setups more powerful

[scandic]

The current distributed setup is primary meant for offloading. In very large environments with dozens of colocations around the globe you're going to get a large amount of wrong failures just because of network outages.

I would like to see a way to have parallel monitoring and trigger dependencies so an event becomes true only, if a configurable number of zabbix instances are triggering the event.

i.e.
Needed events for Server A in Colocation Y: 4
Zabbix A: Reports failure of Server A in Colocation Y
Zabbix B: Reports failure of Server A in Colocation Y
Zabbix C: Reports failure of Server A in Colocation Y
Zabbix D-Z: Doesn't report failure of Server A in Colocation Y

In this case no event for Server A in Colocation would be triggered.

Moreover, it would be great to have a Trigger type for this scenario so the ops team get notified about a possible network outage on the Zabbix A-C instances.

If there's already a way to do this, I just havn't seen it yet and it would be great to point me into the right direction

Is really noone interested? I can't imagine that there's no need for this?
