Flexible intervals doesn't work

[uknet80]

HI all,

Hard disk space needs to be checked once a week or even a month. I tried to set “Flexible intervals (sec)” to (50 sec at 1-1,00:00-00:02) this suppose receive update once a week, but it doesn’t, still receive update every 60 second. Is it a bug, or I am doing it wrong?

thanks

Why don't you just change the interval?

60*60 = 3600 (1 hour)
60*60*24 = 84600 (1 day)
60*60*24*7 = 604800 (1 week)

maximum input data is 5 digit yours is 6 digits.

I guess you can't poll less frequently than every 27.775 hours (99999) then.

Best to poll more frequently anyway. Why only once a week?

[uknet80]

there are some records that doesn't need to be polled every day, like hard disk space once a month is enough.

While I agree with you, you can't poll that infrequently using the Agent.

If you want to poll once a month you'll have to use zabbix_sender and type Zabbix Trapper. That way you can run a query directly on the target server and send back the value to the Zabbix server.
