LLD Windows Services - Startup type: Automatic with Trigger Start

[andredeo]

Folks,

Doing some tests with 3.2, but in reality this happens from the 3.0. I came across an uncomfortable situation. Already researched on the official forums and found nothing useful.

Windows has some services that are started automatically, but they stop when fulfill their role, and can be started again by a trigger (Windows itself) if necessary - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_O...ew?usp=sharing

The Zabbix LLD finds all the services marked to start automatically (nice!), but when this particular type of service stops, the trigger happens - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_O...ew?usp=sharing

But I don't want to see the trigger happening, because this is normal behavior for this type of service. I've tested the keys available and haven't found a way to filter these services, any idea to avoid this kind of problem?

maybe you must filter this services out?

This should be part of Zabbix's features of service.info[service,<param>]

Specifically for startup:
0 - automatic,
1 - automatic delayed,
2 - manual,
3 - disabled,
4 - unknown
add: Automatic (Trigger Start)


In any case, meanwhile, I'm trying to filter out these services (Automatic (Trigger Start) by using the following method:

1) Created a global regular expression entry excluding the string "Automatic (Trigger Start)"
2) Apply the expression into the LLD filer as @ServiceFilter with {#SERVICE.STARTUP}

However, since {#SERVICE.STARTUP} will only return an integer, how can I filter out the service startup type as string?

Any suggestions appreciated

Anyone? Any suggestions on how to filter out Automatic (Trigger Start) services?

Thank you?

I was also wondering the same thing. As you mentioned, it returns the same value as "Automatic", and I couldn't find a way to filter out the "Trigger Start" services. Did you ever figure out a workaround? Was contemplating just filtering out the particular services from the discovery rules (as they tend to be the same ones).
