Problem events in Zabbix can be acknowledged by users.
If a user gets notified about a problem event, they can go to Zabbix
frontend, open the problem update popup window of that problem using one
of the ways listed below and acknowledge the problem. When
acknowledging, they can enter their comment for it, saying that they are
working on it or whatever else they may feel like saying about it.
This way, if another system user spots the same problem, they
immediately see if it has been acknowledged and the comments so far.
This way the workflow of resolving problems with more than one system
user can take place in a coordinated way.
Acknowledgment status is also used when defining [action
operations](/manual/config/notifications/action/operation). You can
define, for example, that a notification is sent to a higher level
manager only if an event is not acknowledged for some time.
To acknowledge events and comment on them, a user must have at least
read permissions to the corresponding triggers. To change problem
severity or close problem, a user must have read-write permissions to
the corresponding triggers.
There are **several** ways to access the problem update popup window,
which allows acknowledging a problem.
- You may select problems in *Monitoring* → *Problems* and then click
on *Mass update* below the list
- You can click on *Update* in the *Update* column of a problem in:
- *Dashboards* (*Problems* and *Problems by severity*
- *Monitoring → Problems*
- *Monitoring → Problems → Event details*
- You can click on an unresolved problem cell in:
- *Dashboards* (*Trigger overview* widget)
The popup menu contains an *Update* option that will take you to
the problem update window.</source>
