Question about Maintenance period and actions

[davyyd]

Hello

I have observed the following behavior on our Zabbix 1.8.3 deployment, and want to confirm that it is expected:

• A host is in a defined maintenance period.

• A trigger for that host goes from green to red (i.e. goes down).

• Actions are not taken during the maintenance period - this is expected because one of the conditions of the actions is Maintenance status not in "maintenance".

• The state of the trigger does not change during the maintenance period.

• When the maintenance period ends, actions are still not taken, even though the steps are such that actions normally would still be taken (for example, escalating alerts sent out) if the maintenance windows were not a factor.

Is it expected that a trigger that goes down during a maintenance period, and never changes, will never cause actions (which have the condition "not in maint.") to be taken even when the maintenance period ends?

Do any of you have concerns that an issue that arises during a maintenance window will not be brought to your attention after the maintenance window ends? If so, how do you handle this with Zabbix?

I read in another thread a reference to this note (which I cannot find using a forum search):
"[DEV-433] added generation events after maintenance period if trigger status changed during this period"

Does this mean the behavior has changed in Zabbix 1.8.4?

Thank you!
