Recovery Message in Actions

[olecam]

Hello again,

When configuring an action, if the "Recovery Message" is checked, Zabbix seems to always send the "Default Subject" and "Default Message" also for recovering.

This apply here with Zabbix 1.8.3 (straight from debian unstable).

Is this a feature or do I have missed something?

Thanks in anticipation.

Did you add Trigger value = 'PROBLEM' to the Action condition?

Hi -

Did you add Trigger value = 'PROBLEM' to the Action condition?

No, I didn't. I have selected "Triggers" as "Event source", checked "Recovery message" then :

Default Subject is : "{TRIGGER.NAME}: PROBLEM"
Recovery message is "{TRIGGER.NAME}: RECOVERED"

(both Default and Recovery messages are also different).

But, on recovery I always receive the "Default" subject/message.

Maybe a workaround could be to have two actions, one with condition to a trigger action to "PROBLEM", the other with condition to a trigger action to "OK". That way I could have two different messages. Will give it a try...

Default Subject is : "{TRIGGER.NAME}: PROBLEM"
Recovery message is "{TRIGGER.NAME}: RECOVERED"

Well, with Trigger value = 'PROBLEM' to the Action condition (as you suggested), everything works indeed as expected. No need to create a second action.

Thanks for the tip!

Right.

My question was more like
'maybe it would be better if you...'

Glad it helped
