Zabbix internal check for queue doesnt seem to work

[zsuna]

Hello,

according to https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...types/internal

zabbix[queue,<from>,<to>]
Number of monitored items in the queue which are delayed at least by <from> seconds but less than by <to> seconds.				Integer	from - default: 6 seconds to - default: infinity Time-unit symbols (s,m,h,d,w) are supported for these parameters.

it should be possible to create an internal zabbix item with the key zabbix[queue,10m], which should display the amount of items inside the queue for more than 10 minutes.
However, no matter what values i add for <from> and <to>, the check keeps ignoring them. It will ALWAYS display zabbix[queue], no matter what numbers are given.

Item values:


item definitions:


Is this a bug or working as intended? What am i missing here?

"An item with key "zabbix[queue,10m]" already exists on the host "Zabbix server"." it says here when trying to add duplicate item key. This is 6.4.0beta5.

Workaround, if you really want to create a duplicate item: use zabbix[queue,10m,]

You didn't mention your Zabbix version but the usual comment whenever encountering strange problem is to upgrade to the latest version in that series.

Hello,

i don´t have a problem with duplicate items...

zabbix[queue,10m] yields the same result as zabbix[queue], but it should only note my current 48 items which are in queue for more than 10 minutes.

Br, Zsuna

[Markku]

So, how many items do you have that have been in the queue less than 10 minutes?

Markku

[zsuna]

Currently there are 48 in the queue for longer than 10 minutes.

But the item shows 600+

You still didn't say your Zabbix version

Our Zabbix Version is 6.0.12

[Markku]

FWIW, works correctly on 6.4.0beta5.

Ty.
So this looks like to be a bug in 6.0.12 then.

Is there a list of bugfixes somewhere to find? So i can lookup when this got fixed.
Maybe if you by chance have a 6.0.12 version, could you check if it works there properly aswell? just to rule out some setup problem.

Br, Zsuna

[Markku]

Also works here on 6.0.11, with "from" values of empty, 3m and 10m: they are not identical and they reflect the real situation in the queue.

Then i guess something else is wrong.

We are using Zabbix Proxy, do i need change my item for this somehow?

Br, zsuna

[Markku]

Right, sorry, I missed the proxy detail from your images. I only tested with the internal items on the server.

If you think your configurations are correct and you interpret the queue information in the GUI correctly, you can always open an issue at https://support.zabbix.com.

[zsuna]

Thank you, i will open up an issue.

Br, zsuna

[Markku]

Forgot to say that the release notes are here, with list of fixed issues: https://www.zabbix.com/release_notes

Hello,

the issue was resolved - problem were some network issues with routing to the proper proxy.

Could you please expand your conclusion? I have similar symptoms, that items for proxies queue show totaly different values than Queue tab. Same on 6.4.1 and 7.0.0.
