actions across days

[Villain]

I have a need for an action to be done only if between the hours of 0700 and 0200. In working with this, I have found that the action will not work if the time is between 2359 and 0200, and the trigger is hit.

Is there a plan to add this type of 'date crossing' in a future release of zabbix? Or, should I stick with duplicating my work to create a second action to cover the 2 hours each morning that I need?

Due to the way Zabbix processes times, you might find it easier using 0000 - 0200. By using 2359 - 0200, Zabbix may get confused at times and come up with 0200 - 2359.

Wow! I had no idea, thanks for the info.
