    Distributed triggers and actions based on AND/OR?

    I have not tested the distributed Zabbix setup. But I plan to do so in a lab soon. I could not tell from the documentation. But does the distributed setup also allow for triggers to be tested against all or certain nodes to base an action on?

    For example: Node1 and Node2 detect a server down. Both Nodes consider the server down so do an action.

    Second example: Node1 sees a server down. But Node2 shows the server functioning and Node1 and Node2 still have communication. Do not do action.

    Is something like this possible? Or is the distributed setup currently configuration and data only?

    I currently have a simple 2 node in-house monitoring system and one of the false-positive triggers is one location being able to reach a host. But the other node location cannot, so it sends a notice (even though there is usually no issues since it is just an anomaly between the second location and the host).

    Hope this makes sense...

    Makes sense, sadly I don't think this is yet possible, maybe the guys can look into including such for the future.

      It is probably a pretty big task to add such a feature. Probably something that could be on a drawing board for a next major version (1.6?). I guess I can live with getting the same alert twice and evaluating manually based on if I got the alert from one node or all nodes. This is how my current simple monitoring system works so no big deal really. But would be a cool feature
