Discovery interval stuck on default value

[MattNorman]

I am currently testing Zabbix as a possible replacement solution for my company.

I have added one of our F5 load balancers and the default discovery interval for pools is 1 hour. I changed this to 5 minutes however it is still only running every 1 hour.

Do I have to delete the host and add it again for it to use the amended value from the template?

Is it also possible to set different trigger thresholds at a host level? Once I add my vCenter appliance, I will need to have different trigger values for datastores depending on their total capacity.

Hi,

I have the same issue with the F5 Big-IP SNMP v5 template.
All the "Latest check" values are 1h interval, while the "Item prototypes" are configured at 5m..

When i manually create the Item, the 5 min interval is working fine.

When you open the item prototype configuration, you will see that there is a preprocessing step that discards unchanged values, with heartbeat interval of 1 hour. So, even if Zabbix retrieves the value every 5 minutes, it only stores the value once an hour if the value is not changing.

Hello Markku,

That was indeed the issue/solution.
Now it's working the way I want it.

Thank you!
