    [Featue Request] Allow editing of inherited triggers at the host level

    Folks,

    It would be really awesome if at the host level you could edit the expression of an trigger inherited from a template.

    For example I have a template called 'Linux Servers' that gets applied to all our linux boxes. One of the items in that template is a 1 minute load average check via snmp OID laLoadInt.1 with a trigger attached to the template as follows

    Code:
    {Linux Server:laLoadInt.1.last(2)}=2
    The problem is that not all servers should generate a warning action at 2 since the common rule of thumb is that a 1.0 load per core is considered capacity. A 2.0 1 min load average would be concerning on a single core webserver, but nothing to sneeze at for a 16 core database server.

    Currently the only way I can find to accomplish this is to manually create each trigger at each host, which is a total letdown considering how awesome the template system is.

    Consider using host level macros.
