how to use this function "now"

[scotti]

Hi, folks;

how can I use this functions when I'm setting up a trigger?

I have try the examples listed here
http://www.zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/config_triggers.php

I want an expression to return the seconds since it's last modified.I have tried these, but none of them worked.

(now-{tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].last(0)})<900
{tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].last(0)-now}<900

That is what I want, too. Can anyone help?

Use the 'now' like this: {tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].last(0)-tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].now(0)}<900

Use the 'now' like this: {tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].last(0)-tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].now(0)}<900

I've tried, but received the following warning:

No such host (tpl) or monitored parameter (vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].now(0)-tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify])

the tpl is a template not a real host, and I'm using zabbix-1.1.1

[Alexei]

It should be {tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].last(0)}-{tpl:vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify].now(0)}<900

it seems a bug in 1.1.1, I'll try other versions, thanks, Alexei!

Just checking, but do you have a item for vfs.file.time[/somefile,modify] in the tmp template?

Greetings,

I recommend going to 1.1.6. What you are describing is a known bug in all 1.1 versions prior to 1.1.6.
