Action based on multiple triggers

[mbconn]

I have an action which generates an email when 2 conditions are triggered, i.e.

trigger value=PROBLEM AND
Host template=Template_My_Generic AND
Trigger = "Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$PRIMARY}" AND
Trigger = "Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$SECONDARY}"

PRIMARY and SECONDARY are global macros defined as our primary and secondary internet links. That is, I want the action to fire when a server is unreachable via both links.

The triggers get set properly and I can see the events being raised. I can get the action to work fine with either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY triggers, but not when I specify both.

Any ideas?

Resolved: Action based on multiple triggers

the trick appears to be to create a single trigger with an expression referring to multiple items, like:

"Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$PRIMARY} and {$SECONDARY}" = {Template_My_Genericing_backup.sh.last(0)}=0 & {Template_My_Genericing.sh.last(0)}=0

and then use this trigger as the basis for the action, like:

Trigger value = PROBLEM AND
Host template = Template_My_Generic AND
Trigger = "Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$PRIMARY} and {$SECONDARY}"

How about trigger dependencies?
Wouldn’t it be better solution?

hi Davidus

thanks for the response. Can you explain a bit how that works - I understand adding the dependencies in the trigger but it's not clear to me what the trigger expression should be?

thanks again

Being honest I don’t know much about trigger dependencies
little bit information can be found on following link
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...r_dependencies

If I`m not mistaken you have to set up two triggers
First trigger - "Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$PRIMARY}"
Second trigger - "Template_My_Generic:Server unreachable via {$SECONDARY}"
or whatever your triggers are

After you done add first trigger to second as an dependency
Once again I`m not sure... I`m just taking a guess on how it can be possibly done

thanks again D

that would seem to make sense but my tests haven't been successful. I added the second trigger to the first as a dependency then used the first as the basis of the action. However, when only the first trigger is true the action is kicked off, i.e. {$PRIMARY} is down but {$SECONDARY} is still up. The only way I've got it to work properly is as described above.

Wired, that had to work

Try to do following
A trigger depends on trigger B
Trigger B depends on trigger A

and let me know what happens
