Scheduling intervals does not work as expected

[lewis lee]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can help with custom intervals setting. I am doing the setting of the item to count the number of record in a transaction log in every 5 minutes. The application will rotate the transaction log at hh:00, hh:05, hh:10, hh:15 and so on. Such that I hope the item run at hh:01, hh:06, hh:11, hh:16 and so on.

I did the custom intervals as either m1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 or m1-59/5, However the item still run at the default "Update interval" in 5 min.
I hope some can help to spot anything wrong in my item configuration and how to set scheduling properly.

Thanks in advance.

I think this is because the item type is "Zabbix agent (active)".

Note: Not available for Zabbix agent active items.
