Hello Chaps,
I have been using Zabbix for a couple of months at the request of the company I am working for, and what started as a pilot for them was a godsend a week later
Am most impressed with what Zabbix can do and how logical it can be. Have managed my way building and configuring thus far and have had the few hicups experienced solved by exploring the forums. The community for this application is impressive.
I have hit a snag and am looking for advice on a good way to go.
I have a web server that hosts copies of a number of sites based on region. Eg. EU, USA, ASIA etc. I have setup some scenarios in Zabbix to test a maintenance page (which has backend checks and returns a code) and scrape the return string for a given value. If it finds the value, all ok. If not, it triggers and alerts.
What I would like to do is in the event that one of the scenarios runs, and discovers one of these region sites has an issue, that it will run checks on the other regions web scenarios immediately, just like one would use steps for escalations (notifications or remote commands), or something to this effect.
Is this something that can be macro'd as a remote command? or is there a better way to accomplish this?
To be clear, what I am after is the following:
I have 3 Web scenarios: USA, EU, ASIA
Each checks at 5 min intervals
BUT if it detects a problem with one, it will immediately check the others, before their next scheduled interval.
Ie: Zabbix checks USA web scenario -> site is down (bad status code) -> trigger set - actions: Check EU web scenario -> Check ASIA scenario -> and so on.
Probably clear as mud
Anyway, if someone has an answer through Zabbix, Great!
Thanks,
JC
