Zabbix_Sender Disable Trigger

[Arne]

In the previous version of Zabbix 5.4 you could disable a trigger via the Zabbix sender by doing a
Zabbix_Sernder -z Zabbix -s ServerName -k event.mainteance.trigger -o "enable:ID's of triggers to stop" (The Enable is to start the Maintenance event)
That does not work in version 6, has anyone found the new syntax for making that work again?

"event.mainteance.trigger" is a non-standard zabbix function.
See in the host setting how the "event.mainteance.trigger" item was created and what happens when this gets a value (I suspect that javascript preprocessing with API access is used )

[Arne]

Yes I know the event is not a standard, that is one I have created, but the function call to disable triggers is the thing that stopped working from the new version.
I do get the notification that the server i input is going in to maintenance but the triggers keeps running, and previously if you input there ID they would turn off (disable)

[Hamardaban]

I'll write again - since you did it, then only you know how it works. Either publish the full settings of the components used or figure it out yourself. If API calls were used, refer to the documentation to identify changes.

The expressions I have set up for the Maintenance event is as follows

find(/server125/event.maintenance.trigger.1,,"like","disable")=1
and find(/server125/event.maintenance.trigger.1.msg,,"regexp",".*")=1

I believe that should set the trigger id's to disabled when called with "-o disabled:id1,id2"
I think I misunderstood what you were asking me, and I hope this is more explanatory.

How are event.maintenance.trigger.1 and event.maintenance.trigger.1.msg items configured?

[Hamardaban]

Especially the preprocessing tab!

[Arne]

I have taken a few screenshots of the setup, so you might be able to gather a more full picture.

[Markku]

Ok so the first item is a trapper item that just gets the value that is sent with zabbix_sender. The second item is a dependent item, just copying the contents of the first item (if I got it correctly).

So, how are your actions configured? There must be something that does something when the trigger fires.

Thank you for you input guys, it got my troubleshooting running, I have found that I have had to modify the script to use localhost instead of name and then its now working again.
