*UNKNOWN* value in mail alert

[shrinivas.bura]

I am newbie to zabbix, I had successfully monitored more than 70 nodes on nagios from last one yesar. After listening about zabbix i was trying to monitor my servers with zabbix I am facing problem while generating alerts.

I am monitoring it using zabbix version 1.4.1

I am monitoring MSSQL user connections using key

perf_counter[\SQLServer:General Statistics()\User Connections]

I was able to monitor it properly but when i trying to generate alerts through mail or sms. I wasn't able to get the output value in it.
I am using following macros in action.

{HOSTNAME}:- {DATE}, {TIME}:Users connected To MSSQL are {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}

But i get the mails as

mssql.logix.com:- 2007.07.13, 16:40:24:Users connected To MSSQL are *UNKNOWN*

If i do zabbix_get i get

[root@king bin]# ./zabbix_get -s 203.124.132.168 -k"perf_counter[\SQLServer:General Statistics()\User Connections]"
15.000000

Is this UNKNOWN value is coming because output is float value.

please help.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for reporting this. It seems to be a problem with processing of macros having the ':' in item keys.

{{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)} works for mi in 1.4 and 1.4.1

Thanks for reporting this. It seems to be a problem with processing of macros having the ':' in item keys.

i used 1.4 and now using 1.4.1. , for Trigger with CPU utilization and item key in float i set the follow Action to send email in below format:

Last recorded value is {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}.

my email output DOES show "Last recorded value is 95.43 %."

It sounds like the problem only occurs when the ":" is actually used in the key name in the items field.

{{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}

eg... mysql last had {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)} processes running on Hostx

I am already using {HOSTNAME}:- {DATE}, {TIME}:Users connected To MSSQL are {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}

which i think is correct problem is i am getting output as *UNKNOWN*

try prev(0).... or try change to float...
i using 1.4.1 and for CPU utilization last(0) and i can get values like 92.34 % in my email alerts

I was able to generate alerts for floating for normal items like load ,but i think problem is with : in key of item.i.e

perf_counter[\SQLServer:General Statistics()\User Connections]

The same problem, log item



I'm on the same problem but with a log item, the alert message is the same, how can I fix it????
