So we have created a engine in Python (from pyzabbix import ZabbixMetric, ZabbixSender) with, rpm, heat, fuel and a bit more data.

We also have a fake “alarm” for status if random int > 95.

It looks like this:

Ok, lets get some data into that engine, we will run the Python script a couple of times to fill it with some data and have a look at that.

We will change the dashboard abit also to get the full view of our engine before create the triggers.

Lates values:

And our Dashboard:

Now let’s test som triggers for the values in digits first:

last (sec|#num,<time_shift>), change, avg (sec|#num,<time_shift>) is used here and we have activate three alarms on the dashboard:
