Macro lastcheck

[vinny]

Hi all,
simple question : is there a macro to know the date/time of an item last check ?

For a notification, we can use the macro ITEM.LASTVALUE.
So I'd like to know when the last value had been collected.

thx,

I know there's :
{EVENT.DATE} and {EVENT.TIME} which can be used in notifications, giving date and time of a notification.
There's also {TIME} which is the current time when the notification is sent.

If you receive a notification, the event time can be equal to the last value time according to me, as the trigger change it's value because it just receives a new value... but it depends on the type of trigger you define...

Do you think it can help you ?

But I also think something like {ITEM.LASTCHECK} can be usefull...

Yup I'd use these macros for most of triggers
But when using triggers with function nodata(xx), I want to know when an item is not collected since a lot of time
so in this case, the last check is important to get the last time an item was collected

Yes, such a macro could be useful.

Currently, I use nodata(duration to test) with {EVENT.TIME} in the email. To know since when the datas are no more transmitted, I use : "EVENT.TIME - duration to test = time of the end of transmission +/- check frequency".
It gives a good idea of the time datas stop coming.
