problem setting up maintenance

[ulukay]

hi

i'm trying to setup a weekly maintenance for windows servers, so i don't get flooded with emails. i'm not sure why, but i got some problems there


this should set all windows servers into maintenance mode every sunday 20:00pm for 10 hours

and this action should send me emails only if a windows server got a problem AND is not in maintenance mode


unfortunately this isn't working and i receive massive amounts of emails every sunday/monday

*bump*

it's getting weekend again

I tested a setup like yours on 1.8.1 and it worked out just fine. Are you using a 1.8 or 1.8.1 version?

[ulukay]

i'm using 1.8.1 too

If you don't get any better advice before weekend, then maybe you could narrow the problem down, by creating separate action for only windows servers group, to eliminate the possible error in the trigger condition calculation?

[ulukay]

that's a good idea, i'll try that!

[ulukay]

well, didn't work either

[simonc]

[ulukay]

Same problem here

Hi all,

I'm getting the same problem as ulukay. I have some PDU/UPS that do internal testing every monday evening. So I set up a weekly maintenance each monday between 17h and 22h. However when I come back tuesday morning I get over 2000+ emails from zabbix. The emails are only the "recovery" messages, not the "problem" ones. Looks like zabbix get stuck on something and spam the s**t out of my mailbox! I can reproduce the problem easily by configuring a trigger, than a maintenance period with that host and finaly an action with recovery message. Now when we the trigger come on in the maintenance period zabbix start to spam with recovery message. Any other out there with the same problem?

Same Here

hi @all

I have the same behavior like ulukay.
I try setting a maintenance with on time only or daily/weekly I was always spamed with mails (not only recovery, also problem).

Zabbix Server Version 1.8.1
Zabbix Agent Version 1.8.1

New batch of mails

Hi,

Still got spammed this morning... only this time with 108 emails instead of over 2000. This time I got all "problem" emails, not "recovery" ones. However it's still very problematic since we have an automated process that open a support ticket each time an email is sent, imagine trying to close 2000+ tickets... We also have support techs that would be called if I didn't remove the usual process from our UPS. Could a developer get a look on this? Just email me if you need more information on my configuration.

Thanks,

The emails are only the "recovery" messages, not the "problem" ones.

Are you using normal event generation, or normal + multiple true events?

Multiple true events

Are you using normal event generation, or normal + multiple true events?

Normal event generation, not "normal + multiple true events". I checked that in the beginning, just to be sure! Note that last monday I received only the "problem" mails, not the "recovery" ones.

Maybe f.koch and ulukay can confirme that the problem is not related to the event generation.

Thanks!

I don't know what you mean with "multiple true events"?
