Zabbix trigger alert immediately and not accordingly to the sec input value

I have a Zabbix item with a key celery_worker.docker that reads from the zabbix_agentd.conf

userparameter=celery_worker.docker, sudo docker ps -f "status=running" | grep worker

I want to know when it is down for the last 15min. I have trigger with:

 {celery_worker.docker.str(ago,300)}=0

But it alerts immediately and not after 300 seconds. (I checked by testing and the alert is right)

Solution

  • If we look at the trigger function page, it explains that str will look for one occurrence of the string in the specified period.

    You might be able to achieve the desired result with the count function (see the same page for detail).
