How can I add a delay between two web scenario checks?

[cjohnsonuk]

I use a web scenario to initiate an API call to a remote system. This call triggers some tests to be run that I can recover with a second API call.

If I call the second API too soon I don't get the results back, just a response with an element indicating that the collection is still "in progress". The examples given in raw PHP poll the response in a loop until there is no "in progress" and then triggers a call to pull back the required data.

I'm not sure that can be done in Zabbix. As an (hopefully simpler) alternative I'd like to add a 5 minute delay between step one of the web scenario and step 2 to ensure that the information collection is complete.

Can this be done?

We've now upgraded to version 3. Has anyone found a way to add a delay between 2 web scenarios?

It is possible to get around this by calling https://httpstat.us/ and pass the "sleep" parameter, as follows:

https://httpstat.us/200?sleep=5000

Therefore, create an additional step in the web scenario between the steps where the wait should take place.
The graphics on web monitoring will jump, but you can create a custom graphic without the delay steps.
