    Questions about Event Logs monitoring.

    We're just getting started on our initial Zabbix deployment. We're using this template which includes event log based triggers: https://share.zabbix.com/operating-s...and-perfomance

    It's collecting data, but the problem is it's creating problems for ancient event log entries and those aren't resolving. Example trigger from template:

    logseverity(/servername/eventlog[DNS Server,,"Warning|Error"]) >1 and nodata{/servername/eventlog[DNS Server,,"Warning|Error"],1800s)=0

    If I'm understanding things correctly, that says the trigger should be resolved if there's no Warning or Error events in the DNS Server log for 30 minutes. We've got a server showing an active problem based on this trigger for over 24 hours now and at this moment the most recent matching event in the log has a local timestamp of August 2020 but Zabbix timestamp of 2 minutes ago. So I'm struggling to understand what exactly is happening here. Is it just parsing the event log exceedingly slowly to the point of taking 24+ hours to parse the log? If so, what all controls the rate is can read through the log?
