How do I create an item that will monitor once a day at a specific hour of the day?

[oldjoeclark]

If I set the update interval to 86400 seconds (= one day) it checks once a day, but that doesn't control when it checks. I need to have it check at 6pm.

What I have going is a systems process that creates a file. I have created a Powershell script to check that file's creation date and it integrates with the Zabbix agent to report back whether the file has today's date. (1 = yes, 0 = no).

How do I configure the item to check right at 6pm each day?

Thanks,

Paul

I would suggest to use Windows task scheduler to run the powershell script at 6pm, and use zabbix_sender to return the value back to the server.

And then add a 'nodata' check in your trigger ,
in case the data is not getting updated for whatever reason (scheduler down, bug in script...)
