icmp check and trigger issue

[andrea.consadori]

Hi everybody,
i look for this infos a lot and now i ask a hand:

Problema A:
objective:
enable sound alert on dashboard

issue:
i create a host down trigger and i want it popup only after 5 minutes of down
(because i monitor remote devices and sometimes is ok to have 1-2 minutes of timeout

what i've done:
1- i've create a ping check item like this --> icmpping[,10]
2- i've create a trigger like this --> {Ping_Check:icmpping[,10].last(200)}=0

what i expect:
to see on dasboard trigger only after 3 minutes of age

what happens:
this is my actual dashboard 20 issues:
Host Issue Last change Age Ack Actions
HostDown May 15th, 2013 10:28:13 AM 11s No

Problem B:
i create trigger dependancy rules and works perfectly.... but only a graphical issue:

router1--router2---router3

if on router 3 i set dependancy to route 2 on a working situation i've

router1--router2---router3
ok ok ok

during a failure i see

router1--router2---router3
ok down ok


i expect to see on router 3 a message state like "event suppressed" or similar.

for trigger A the solution seems to be

{Ping_Check:icmpping[,10].max(300)}=0

for problem B how can i see on map "Problem" flag when trigger event is suppressed?

Fixed

also i fix problem 2 too,

i've to create an icmp check and relative trigger, then on the link i put to make the link red if the host is down, so i continue to see the last value before the down but having a RED icon is more easy to understand that there's an issue
