Triggers

The triggers page in the Zabbix Client provides an overview of all configured triggers on the Zabbix server. Triggers are expressions used to evaluate the data collected by items. They are associated with severities and can be in one of two states: OK or Problem.

Trigger list

The trigger list displays triggers from the Zabbix server in the form of cards. These cards provide key information about each trigger:

Severity: Each trigger card includes the severity level, shown as the color of the card header.
Last State Change: The date and time when the trigger’s state was last changed.
Status: The current state of the trigger, either OK or Problem.
Trigger Name: The name of the trigger.
Host: The host on which the trigger is configured.

Additional details about a trigger can be accessed by clicking the arrow on the right of the card.

Filtering triggers

Various filters or favorites can be applied to focus on triggers matching specific criteria.

Severities filter

This filter limits the displayed triggers to those matching the selected severity levels. Only triggers with the checked severities are shown.
