Trigger for Host Interface unreachable

[cmarotta]

I'm running Zabbix 5.0.4 and I'm having a difficult time finding out where to start constructing a Trigger Expression for when a Host Interface goes "Unreachable."

For example, a few dozen Servers who were being monitored via IPMI, at some point stopped responding to IPMI. Their interfaces in Monitoring view list all of their IPMI interfaces in RED. So i'd like to create some triggers for this.

I tried to take a page from some other templates, for example SNMP. But it appears ot be using some pre-defined values that I'm just not sure how to duplicate for IPMI.


{Windows SNMPv2:zabbix[host,snmp,available].max({$SNMP.TIMEOUT})}=0

So is my IPMI version look like this?


{IPMI-TEMPLATE:zabbix[host,IPMI,available].max({$IPMI.TIMEOUT})}=0
and then set the macro in the template?

Thanks for the guidance here...

See the documentation of the zabbix internal check: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...types/internal

= use "ipmi", not "IPMI", otherwise you are in the correct direction.

Thanks for the advice... but I'm still missing something.

Cannot Add trigger
Incorrect item key "zabbix[host,ipmi,available]" provided for trigger expression on "IPMI Hardware - SuperMicro X10-X11".


Operational Data : Current state: {ITEM.LASTVALUE1}

Expression : {IPMI Hardware - SuperMicro X10-X11:zabbix[host,ipmi,available].max({$IPMI.TIMEOUT})}=0

Template name is - "IPMI Hardware - SuperMicro X10-X11"
macro - {$IPMI.TIMEOUT} - value "1d"

and fwiw , I'm adding the trigger at the Root of the Template. Not under Discovery or Prototypes.

Never mind figured it out.

The template never had an actual static "Item" to poll the availability of the interface. I first needed to create the Zabbix Internal item, then create the Trigger based on the key of the item

Type : Zabbix internal
Key : zabbix[host,ipmi,available]
Numeric (unsigned)
Vlaue Mapping - zabbix.host.availabile
