Temporary disable triggers for a period in time

[Jarne St]

Hello

I don't know if this functionality in available or not. But can I (as an end user) temporary disable a trigger. (so that I don't get notifications of this)
If I disable a specific trigger, then after a period in time the trigger automatically enables back again.
I have read this: https://blog.zabbix.com/a-workaround...d-maintenance/, but it doesn't explain if I can enable the trigger automatically back.
Can I configure this in an action? I know that you can create a action for a trigger, but you can't disable a trigger in an action.

Has anyone done this before?
Thank you for any help!

It is possible to use a time function in the trigger expression, which will prevent the trigger from being triggered at a certain time. And you can make a previously disabled trigger active from an external application using the API. This is not a standard feature.

You can write your Actions so that one of the conditions is that the trigger is not in maintenance.

The trigger will still fire, and the "problem" will be visible in the dashboard, but as long as your action includes the "not in maintenance", no alerts will be generated.

Still, this may count against calculated service uptime, so it might not be quite what you want.

And how do I create an Action with trigger not in maintenance.

Is that a condition? I only see the conditions: "Problem is suppresed", "Trigger", "Trigger Name" and "Trigger Severity" in an action but nothing with maintenance. (I use Zabbix version 4.0.13)
If I choose "Problem is suppresed" I have to define a maintenance period for a Host.

You're right: recent versions of Zabbix call it "Problem is not suppressed", instead of "host is not in maintenance". The "not in maintenance" was the older terminology that Zabbix 2.x and 3.x used.

Yes, if you use this method, you must create a maintenance period for the host. If that's not suitable to your monitoring environment, then Hamardaban's advice is probably your best bet.
