Update interval depending on something

[Nolaan]

Hello,

Is it possible or will it be possible to change the update interval depending on something?

For example:
In the "Cisco IOS by SNMP" template we have the item "Hardware serial number" with Update interval 1h.

Wouldn't it be possible to set something like this:

if hrSystemUptime.0 < 1h ; then
       Update interval = 30m
else
       Update interval = 24h
fi

I don't need to monitor "Hardware serial number" since it can't change without a restart.
Maybe the example isn't the best, but I think it shows what I mean

Only if you change update interval over API, based on something... IIRC there was someone talking about this in Zabbix summit some years ago. Just to ease the load on servers/proxies, they (if I remember correctly) ran a script, which updated check interval (to shorter) when they received a trigger about issues with device and after resolving, updated it back to longer period...

You could replace the intervals with macro's and influence them on system, template and/or host level.
