I have a host that I monitor in 08:00-20:00 and trigger which acts when no ping. Sometimes a host can be switched off in period of 20:00-08:00. I want in this situation dont't to trigger that act till 10:00 next day. Is it possible?

You can use the time() trigger function. Appending this to the existing function should work (replace ... with the reference to the same item as already in the expression):

and time(...) > 080000 and time(...) < 200000

Note that this will make the trigger ignore the time period outside of the bounds, so it will fire at 08:00 only if the problem condition still persists. Not sure how 10:00 fits in your original description.

  • that fucntion will generate action two times if host was switched off before 20:00 – Damir Sep 04 '17 at 08:22
  • Could you please clarify what and how would happen two times? – Richlv Sep 04 '17 at 12:12
  • if host was switched off in 19:00 it will triggered. In period of 20:00-08:00 it will be removed from problems and will appear againg in 08:00 next day. Every time it will trigger. Or i'm not right? – Damir Sep 05 '17 at 07:22
  • Indeed - was not thinking of situations where it would be normal for a system to be down for extended periods of time. In that case why not use the built-in maintenance? – Richlv Sep 05 '17 at 11:39
  • It is a specific host and can be monitored only by ping:) – Damir Sep 05 '17 at 17:32
  • Even more, the maintenance should be the solution then. – Richlv Sep 05 '17 at 21:21

On newer versions of Zabbix you can set Working hours for items, so the collect just will happens in a specific range..
