I'm currently working with an existing Environment where ZABBIX is part of a larger monitoring setup with plenty of products chained together. This setup requires ZABBIX to inform another member of the chain about maintenance mode changes. The current way is using a short timed internal item (zabbix[host,maintenance]) and define a trigger/action to call an external script.
However, this method is far from being ideal as it's polling by its nature and using this with a few thousand hosts puts alot of load to the server.
Would it be possible to add an internal event type for this so we can use an internal action instead? Or is there another more elegant way I don't see right now?
Any help is much appreciated!
