Bryan,
A 'Not Exists' query
<http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/queries.php#41> is usually
faster when coded as an exclusion join, eg for max-some-value per key,
left join on the key variable and left.value < right. value where
left.key is null, so you would need something like ...
SELECT DISTINCT
e.severity,
e.time_stamp,
replace(e.description,'{HOSTNAME}', h.host) AS description,
h.host,
h.hostid,
e.value,
e.triggerid,
s.color
FROM fs_events e
JOIN hosts h USING (hostid)
JOIN fs_severity s ON (e.severity = s.severityid)
LEFT JOIN fs_events e2
ON e.triggerid=e2.triggerid
AND e.MAX(time_stamp) < e2.MAX(time_stamp)
WHERE e.hostid = 10011
AND e2.triggerid IS NULL
ORDER BY e.time_stamp DESC

I have the following sql that works for what I want to see but is
terribly slow due to the subquery. Any suggestions on how to get same
result faster? I have tried group by and cant seem to get the correct
results that way....
Also is there a product that can help optimize sql and indexing?
SELECT DISTINCT e.severity, e.time_stamp, replace(e.description,
'{HOSTNAME}', h.host) AS description, h.host, h.hostid, e.value,
e.triggerid, s.color FROM fs_events e, hosts h, fs_severity s WHERE
e.hostid = 10011 AND e.hostid = h.hostid AND e.time_stamp = (SELECT
max(time_stamp) FROM fs_events WHERE triggerid = e.triggerid) and
e.severity = s.severityid ORDER BY e.time_stamp DESC
