Too high amount of open sessions on Template for HPE MSA 2060 Storage by HTTP

[Daniel4]

Hello,
Is there any reason why API sessions are left open for 30 minutes where new session is being created every minute what leads to overloading of the management interface and in result often restarts - every a few hours. Please find examples below:

1) session lifespan:

2) new sessions from audit log:

When read the Redfish manual the idea was to open a session, collect all then metrics and then close the session but instead looks that session is just left until it expires.
We decided to ask you can something be done about it before we try to alter it ourselves.

Looking at template, it polls every minute. For all I can understand, it extracts session key each time it authenticates and then continues to pull data... But I don't see any session endings.. You might as well report it as bug https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX
Just asking, is it possible to configure, how long the sessions lasts? Maybe expiring them every 5 minutes instead of 30m makes life easier?

I have the same issue. After adding the template on the 24th of March 2024, both controllers were unresponsive within a couple of days and need a serial login + reset.

Will raise as bug in hopes of resolution.
