Actions, setting the rate of messages
Hi
Two scenarios of Zabbix usage that leads me to two questions:
A value I'm monitoring is for time periods fluctuating on the border of my alert threshold from time to time. When it crosses over the limit I want to receive a message, I don't however want to receive one every minute (it's often going on and off at every check during this period) for the 1-5 hours this tend to last.
Is there a way of telling zabbix "Ok message sent, I'll wait X minutes/requests/hours/whatever until I send my next"?
Scenario two is that I have 150 triggers for a host and I want *one* message if any of these go off. I realize I can solve this by setting all triggers to depend on one but I have two problems with doing that:
1. It doesn't seems possible to export/import trigger dependencies which would force me to click through every trigger (for each host with this set) and
2. That would make the percentages of how often the triggers fire be borked.
So can I limit the amount of messages an action is allowed to send? Maybe until the message is acked on monitoring->triggers->ack, or 1 message per hour or so?
