 Description   

current trigger dependency state is underdocumented. full specification should be created and documented in the user manual as well.

parts have been documented in http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/config/triggers/dependencies

still missing : vertical dependencies (in a linked chain, can a trigger depend on lower/higher level triggers, including cases with templates & also with a host attached)

increasing priority to make sure this is discussed before 2.0

Alexander has written a spec on how templated trigger dependencies should be handled. It's available here http://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/ZBX-4333

<zalex> For the file http://zabbix.org/wiki/File:Dependency2.png I'd arrange pictures this way: where one template linked - put that pictures into single line. So on top will be one picture and bottom will be two pictures.

Additionally it's not very clear what means "internal dependencies" an "external dependencies". The picture for this case is not clear, sorry, IMO.

<pavels> Under internal dependencies we mean the dependencies between the triggers being copied. E.g if we copy triggers A and B, a dependency from A to B will be internal, but from A to C - external.

Hi, I just added the ticket ZBX-7796 to take care of the missing "vertical dependencies".

Comment by Martins Valkovskis [ 2018 Feb 27 ]

ZBX-7796 is closed by now. If there is another case out there which is still undocumented, please describe it separately.
