Disable trigger if other trigger was triggered in past 2 hours

[Gijs007]

We're monitoring the Windows disk queue on our servers with Zabbix, and we've set a trigger when the disk queue get's long.
Normally there is no disk queue on our servers, however when we execute the backups on our server we do have a disk queue. This results in unnecessary warnings about the disk queue, which is not an issue as it's generated by expected workload.

We also have a trigger which notifies us that the backups have started. But this trigger doesn't generate any messages while the backups are still running.
My idea is to disable the disk queue trigger if the backup executing trigger has been triggered in the past 2 hours. Is it possible to set up such a filter in Zabbix? If so how?

Hello.

About that "backup trigger" - can you give a little more detail what is the trigger expression on backup ? is this trigger ON all the the time when the backup is running ?

No, it was based on the Windows Event log check. Which only generates a message upon the start.

I've worked around the problem and added a check which constantly checks if the process for Windows Backup is running. If this was the case in the past 30 minutes then the check doesn't report anything.
