Zabbix unreachable host, still bee tested under proxy

[renchili]

When the server got an issue or be turned off. Then the Zabbix proxy will try to pull metrics every 15s, it will be queued in the proxy queue.

Well, this seems useless as the Zabbix agent is unreachable by the Zabbix proxy.

Hi!

There are a few solutions:
You could increase UnreachableDelay (this parameter says how often a host is rechecked for availability) OR
You could create a maintenance period for those servers, where you can decide if during that period you will collect or not.

Thanks for your reply niveastn.

For 1 this will not help at all. We already tried to increase the UnreachableDekay, but whatever the delay is set the unreachable server still will be polled after the delay passed. We do not expect unreachable's keys beyond agent status to be tested.
For 2 is impossible to set maintenance, this is caused by server down incident, is not a predictable issue.

Thanks for the information, I was searching for it for my friend.
