 Description   

I created a clone of the built in trigger "Lack of free swap space on

{HOST.NAME}

"

I then tried to alter the expression to read.

{Template OS Linux:system.swap.size[,pused].last(0)}

<50

Which gives the error
Incorrect item key "system.swap.size[,pused]" provided for trigger expression on "Template OS Linux".

I get the same error when I use "used". Only "pfree" and "total" work.

Tried on Zabbix-server v 2.0.10 and on v2.2.1

According to the "system.swap.size[<device>,<type>]" documentation located at the following link it is supposed to work.

Does item system.swap.size[,pused] exist on "Template OS Linux"? In the default template in Zabbix pre-2.2.2 there are only system.swap.size[,free], system.swap.size[,pfree] and system.swap.size[,total].

In other words, if you wish to create a trigger for an item in the template, that item has to exist in the corresponding template in the frontend.

I tried creating the trigger from scratch for just one Host and I get the same error. No template involved.

creating trigger will not help if item is missing. create item first. please use zabbix forums, irc and other channels for community support. see https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help for more information
