Zabbix triggers and web response scenarios
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/07
A few notes on Zabbix triggers and web scenarios:
- Triggers are part of the web scenario as a whole, not the step inside a web scenario
- A trigger is only displayed in the web scenario graph if it contains only the web response time
- You do not need triggers for:
- http response code: if you specify one or more “Status codes” (overview grid) or “Required status codes” (edit screen)” for a step, the web scenario will fail without the need for a trigger
- http response content: if you specify a “Required” (overview grid) or “Required string” (edit screen) for a step, the web scenario will fail without the need for a trigger
- If a step of a web scenario fails, the other steps are not executed.
- Graphs for web scenarios show cumulative times of the steps, but absolute times for the triggers.
For now I’ve set these kinds of triggers on response times:
- Level
Warning: 2 minute of response time > average - Level
Average: 5 minutes of response time > 2*average - Level
High: 10 minutes of response time > 4*avarage - Level
Disaster: 30 minutes of response time > 10*average
These are the colours by default used for the trigger levels: at http://example.org/zabbix/adm.triggerseverities.php
