I have a map setup, and all links between my switches and machines are monitored via a trigger. The problem is that not all switch ports are used and if this is the case zabbix reports any unused port as a problem. There is in fact not a problem, the port is just unused. I monitor all switch ports with a different trigger for change to ensure foreign devices do not get plugged into the network. This cannot be used for link status because it is reporting change of state and not current state. My need is to monitor status of a port using a just an item, but the link status on the maps must use a trigger. Is there a way to associate a link status with an item instead of a trigger, that way I can monitor status without zabbix reporting a problem when a port is unused. I know this can be patched into the code somehow, but I have absolutely no PHP programming experience. I also know I could just set triggers for monitored ports on each switch, but I have many switches and the configuration time required is very undesirable. I also thought about just disabling the trigger for the unused ports but some are for roaming laptops who prefer a wired connection. If I disable the trigger then I wont see the link at all.

I have a similar problem where the links are based on triggers yet the triggers are just information and are not problems. Yet they are displayed as problems. Is it possible to set the level of triggers that are displayed? -
