Adding Duration to Trigger

[Owackit]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to zabbix trigger configuration. I have setup the zabbix and I am currently monitoring our VMs.

We get CPU iowait time trigger for one of our VM. This will last for about 5mins, before the OK email is sent.

Is there a way to set a duration in zabbix for a trigger. So if the CPU iowait time is high for more that 15mins, send an email.

Thank you

Look into using min, max and avg functions in place of your current last().

If you're interested in high average over a duration - you could use something like:
{Processor:hrProcessorLoad.avg(15m)}>{$CPU_PINNED_ PERCENT}

If you're interested in logic "iowait wasn't less than 20 for 15 minutes" - then you could use something like
{Processor:ioWait.min(15m)>20}

A list of available functions is in the manual. E.g. for Zabbix 3.0:
