    Zabbix sending constant notifications, possible fix similar to .nodata(<time>)

    Zabbix likes to spam notifications which of course is all dependent upon the types of triggers and actions you have set. However for the company I work for, it's imperative that logs are generated quite often as a simple delay in some process can end up costing us a lot of money.

    However sometimes with things like NTP Skew you'll get periodic spikes in drift time. For example, I got one email saying NTP Skew was 23seconds, then 2 seconds later another email saying that NTP Skew was 0seconds.

    I was wondering if there's some sort of expression similar to .nodata() in the sense that only messages should be sent if the status hasn't changed for X amount of time. For example, only send messages about NTP Skew iif the situation hasn't gotten better for 2 minutes, instead of every time there is a change.

    Thanks.
