Trigger - do not work in certain period

[onallion]

Hey guys,

For a certain host I want to change the trigger so it DOESN'T fire between a certain time (friday noon to sunday noon). I can't seem to find the right way to do this. Any suggestions/examples?

I did something like this to tell it when to trigger:

{host:icmpping.max(#4)}=0
and {host:icmpping.dayofweek()}=1-4
or ({host:icmpping.dayofweek()}=5 and {host:icmpping.time()}>000000 and {host:icmpping.time()}<120000) 
or ({host:icmpping.dayofweek()}=7 and {host:icmpping.time()}>120000)

But I'm sure there's a better way...

you can add timing to your item -
set "Type" instead of Zabbix Agent (Active) -> zabbix Agent
and it will give you an option "Custom intervals" to set days and hours to test

It's ping, so the item is "simple check". Also, I don't want to change the item, I want the item to keep working all the time, just the trigger to fire off at certain times.

I use this trigger to have it working from Mon to Fri, between 8:00am to 7:00pm

{MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].last()}#0 & {MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].dayofweek(0)}<6 & {MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].time(0)}>080000 & {MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].time(0)}<190000

If I decompose the trigger :
# My alert trigger
{MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].last()}#0

&

# Days / From Mon to Fri
{MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].dayofweek(0)}<6

&

# Only after 08:00:00am
{MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].time(0)}>080000

&

# Not after 07:00:00pm
{MyHost:web.test.fail[some.web.site].time(0)}<190000


Hope it can help you
