API: trigger "status" and "value" - what do they mean?

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I was trying to use the provided API function trigger.get to get the Status about the currently active triggers. But now I got a problem interpreting the answer returned by the server. If I search for every trigger on a specific host having "swap" inside its description, this is what I get:

{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "result":[
    {
      "triggerid":"14768",
      "expression":"({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0&{27184}<66)|({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1&{27184}<75)",
      "description":"{HOSTNAME}: Free swap is below normal",
      "url":"",
      "status":"1",
      "value":"2",
      "priority":"3",
      "lastchange":"1285017207",
      "dep_level":"0",
      "comments":"",
       "error":"",
      "templateid":"12229",
      "type":"0"
    },
    {
      "triggerid":"14769",
      "expression":"({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0&{27044}<50)|({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1&{27044}<60)",
      "description":"{HOSTNAME}: Free swap is critical",
      "url":"",
      "status":"0",
      "value":"1",
      "priority":"4",
      "lastchange":"1306370747",
      "dep_level":"1",
      "comments":"",
      "error":"",
      "templateid":"12440",
      "type":"0"
    },
    {
      "triggerid":"14767",
      "expression":"({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0&{27114}<33)|({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1&{27114}<45)",
      "description":"{HOSTNAME}: Free swap is extremely critical",
      "url":"",
      "status":"0",
      "value":"0",
      "priority":"5",
      "lastchange":"1306382655",
      "dep_level":"1",
      "comments":"",
      "error":"",
      "templateid":"12421",
      "type":"0"
    }
  ],
  "id":2
}

In this example status obviously may have a status of 0 and 1. Value on the other hand goes from 0 to 2. So what do these values stand for?

And how do I find out about the dependencies of these triggers? I see the property "dep_level", of course. But how exactly do I find out the depending trigger?

I hope anybody may have an idea.
