"Force check now" in zabbix 2.2.1

Question

If any of you know if there is a possibility of implementation "Force check now" just like in Nagios? the problem is that some check have a high update interval time for example 10 minutes, and sometimes there is a need to test something quickly.

In Zabbix Jira i found something like that's : https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-473

Please give me some advice

Regards Mick

There is currently no such feature and ZBXNEXT-473 is the correct place to track its progress. — asaveljevs, May 22 '14 at 08:18

On the server, there is a command `zabbix_get' which exactly try the value of the key immediately.

sudo zabbix_get -s hostNameOrIP -k keyName

So easy!

Yeah but there is some way to do this from GUI ? – Mick May 22 '14 at 08:11
@Mick, I don't know any way in graphical except setting time interval for 5 seconds or less or more in item's configurations. – shgnInc May 22 '14 at 08:33
This won't actually make the zabbix_server check the item, and put it in the database. It will only check it from the command line and return the data to the command line. – Danny F May 27 '18 at 07:13

One (quirky) way might be to visit the configuration for your problematic host, then choose Triggers, then configure the alarming trigger, choose Expression constructor and from there Test.

I know this might not perform exactly what you are after for, but it's better than nothing.
