Zabbix notifying after 2 bad values

I do have a trigger that will fire when external check output will contain "Servers 1/3 UP" or "2/3 UP" combined with OR. This is one of them:

({Zabbix server :server-check.regexp(Servers 1/3 UP, #2)})<>0

But it doesn't work. How do I make the trigger fire only when the last two outputs do contain these strings? Thanks

Solution

  • Function regexp(Servers 1/3 UP, #2) checks whether any of the last two values have a regular expression Servers 1/3 UP in them.

    You can instead use function count(#2, Servers 1/3 UP) and compare its result to 2.

    Please see function documentation for Zabbix 3.0 for more information. Note that since Zabbix 3.2 regular expression matching is also supported in function count() (see function documentation for Zabbix 3.2).
