You are talking about official template "Interfaces SNMP" or "Interfaces Simple SNMP"
where we have trigger prototype, name:

Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): High error rate (>{$IF.ERRORS.WARN:"{#IFNAME}"} for 5m)

problem expression:

min(/Interfaces SNMP/net.if.in.errors[ifInErrors.{#SNMPINDEX}],5m)>{$IF.ERRORS.WARN:"{#IFNAME}"}
or min(/Interfaces SNMP/net.if.out.errors[ifOutErrors.{#SNMPINDEX}],5m)>{$IF.ERRORS.WARN:"{#IFNAME}"}

operational data:

errors in: {ITEM.LASTVALUE1}, errors out: {ITEM.LASTVALUE2}

macro {$IF.ERRORS.WARN} is defined on the template level with 2.

What is interesting, in your 2 alerts operational data is:
in: 0, out: 0
in: 0, out: 1
but I should note here that it uses macro {ITEM.LASTVALUE1} which (at a time of alert generation) might be not the same as {ITEM.VALUE1}, which originally caused the trigger Problem.

Check please history values 5 minutes before the Problems were generated, show it please.
