Delay problem generation if some tag is configured

[riBoon]

Hi,
we are using zabbix version 7.

We have a template which checks for the availability of zabbix agent and other stuff.
This template is configured to important hosts and not so important hosts.

Is it possible to have the problem generation delayed by some time for the not so important hosts? We would like to configure a tag to the not so important hosts at host level.

Our goal is to get the alarms for the important hosts directly and the not so important hosts delayed (or no alarm, if they are ok after a while).

I thought about configuring this in actions but actions won't reduce the problem generation itself.

I've extended some triggers with macros so they can be configured less nervous on host level.
But the changes are hard to test and it would be cool if there is some other solution for that.

If newer zabbix versions offer solutions, I'm open to hear about that too.

Testing is simple on the test machine, turn off the zbx agent service and watch how long it takes for the alert to arrive. Put the configured template on the test host as you need. Otherwise, I also solve what you describe, I have a specific template for guests of the L00 - L05 group. 6 templates with different macro values both in the metric and alerts. Production servers receive an alert immediately after 3 failures, on test servers after 6, and on development servers I do not monitor the given item at all.

For example, it is set up so that you check the item after 1m but the alert changes the repetition value or time interval with a macro.
