Hey guys,
I came upon a problem where I'd like to show a time difference of a monitored server vs. time on Zabbix server. I know of the combination system.localtime item and .fuzzytime(...) trigger function which alerts of a time difference, but I'd like to show only the difference, not the actual time at the monitored server in e.g. latest data or in a graph.
I was thinking of calculated items comparing two time sources, but there would be synchronization problems as I'd like to catch differences from 5 seconds up.
I could also use an external script (called from item type "external script"), which would pull the time from the monitored server, compute and return the difference, but I'd rather go without using an external script for performance reasons.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Have a nice day.
