Zabbix Dependencies Problem

[FrodoBaginss]

Hi all,

So, I have direct question regarding "Trigger prototype Dependencies" function - Why there is no option to add dependencies for other discovery rules and their trigger prototypes?

Example:
Lets say, we have huge Network Backbone with hundreds and hundreds of Switches/Routers.

Maybe there is something that am missing, some fundamental reason of why that kind of options is still not included.

If one discovery is creating random amount of triggers and other one does the same, how should first one know to which one from other to create the dependency?

cyber Sorry, here is the correct post message:
So, I have direct question regarding "Trigger prototype Dependencies" function - Why there is no option to add dependencies to other discovery rules and their trigger prototypes?

Example:

Lets say, we have a network router device with couple link aggregates(single logical interface) and multiple(dozen) physical network interfaces with it. The operational state OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 (Obviously this is one OID for the Aggregation state and Interface state). When the link aggregate goes down it will fire entire logical interface - leading to flood of alarms and that's the problem!

The idea is simple: To make Interface state Discovery rule trigger to depend on Aggregation state trigger without using scripts.

Is there any solution? Maybe there is something that am missing, some fundamental reason of why dependencies can't be more flexible or maybe there is another way to solve this problem. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or help in this matter.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards.

Prototype... that means, there can be many items/triggers/hosts created based on it... there is no mechanism created/coded to to make the tool to understand, that in case of A, item/trigger has to be dependent on B, but in some other case it needs to be dependent on C.... it just does not do any lookups. And what happens if your other discovery runs and changes something.. Should it trigger a rediscovery of everything relateed?
