Way to show unreachable dependents?

[whabeck]

I originally posted this in the help area, but it appears this functionality is not available. I found a post from one year ago that asks for the same enhancement ("Misleading effect of trigger dependency on network maps" by Jurgen). Please consider enhancement.

I am creating a pilot program with Zabbix 3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to have dependents show as unreachable. For example... if I have 20 devices monitored and 5 of those are dependents of one other device. When that one device is down (ping check) and triggers as unreachable it does not show the dependents as unreachable. I then have to remember or look up the info on all 19 devices to see which are downstream from this so that I know the scope of the outage.

I would like the alerts suppressed on the dependents, which it does, but would like to see that they are unreachable (PROBLEM state) and not show as OK.

Thank you,

Will

I think that here we cannot say that it is a problem sensu stricto with triggers.
I see only problem with exact logic behind triggers.
If you will assign to state of some object as "unreachable" to state of some trigger value as true or false you will be able to use this trigger into dependencies of other triggers.
