    Fuzzy Time/Time Skew Not Working

    Greetings.

    I'm trying to use the default "System time is out of sync" template provided with Zabbix but it appears to not be working.
    It is included in the "Windows by Zabbix agent active" template, and should (by default) alert when the time diff between the host and the zabbix server is greater than 60 seconds.
    I've verified that the system.localtime data is being collected from the hosts (at 60 second intervals, the default) but the trigger doesn't work.
    In the screenshot below I've set it to alert on a 1 sec diff and I still get no triggers.
    I know that I have time skews greater than a few minutes on some systems, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    Whats the item type for system.localtime? It should be passive item. Looking at the https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/...s_agent_active it says its "active" but fuzzytime docs here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ctions/history say
    Usually used with the 'system.localtime' item to check that local time is in sync with the local time of Zabbix server. Note that 'system.localtime' must be configured as a passive check.

      Thanks for the response. Odd, that it was pre-configured in the "Windows by Zabbix Agent - Active" template if it doesn't work.
