Web scenario trigger with required string

[lpossamai]

I have a couple of web scenarios, and some of them have "Required String" enabled. The endpoint will always return http response code 200, even if the required string doesn't match. Example:

Step 1
Endpoint: https://api.example.com/api/v1/status
Required string: "ApiStatus" status="up"

Step 2
Endpoint: https://api.example.com/api/v1/status
Required string: "Apiv2Status" status="down"

[...]

The status code of https://api.example.com/api/v1/status will always be 200, even if it shows "Apiv2Status" status="down", so I cannot use the web.test.rspcode function.
I wanna create a trigger that, if a certain step have status="down", trigger an alarm.

How can I achieve that?

According to Web monitoring:

The following information is collected in any web scenario step:

• download speed per second
• response time
• response code

so that means that I need to create different Web Scenarios for each one of the "steps'. Am I right?

Will the "Required string" field for Zabbix Web scenarios work if you invert the test and require that status="up" be present for the step to be OK?

Yes... that could work... so If status is != status="up", triggers an alarm.
