Zabbix server sends too many notifications
- by anselmdk
I've recently installed Zabbix server on a VPS and am very happy with it.
I've installed the client on appr. 6-7 other VPSs and everything works fine. The interface is smooth, and it produces some very nice graphs.
My only problem with the software is that I've set it up to send notifications on problems, but im receiving between 30 and 60 emails every day. Always something along "Server XXX is unreachable: PROBLEM", and a minute later: "Server XXX is unreachable: OK".
Off course, Zabbix also recognizes when there are real problems, and e.g. when a server has been restarted. It just seems to me as if Zabbix very fast "gives up", or maybe times out faster than what suits my needs.
I've been trying to google this problem several times, but given up, so now I'm trying this approach.
Does anyone know of how to adjust the fidelity of these notifications/triggers?
