Bug? Calculated item

[bobrivers]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a calculated item that gets tha MAX item value from another host in order to do some conculations (zabbix 1.8.2 - centos 5.5)

So I created an item with the following:
host:hostA
type:calculated
key:xpto
expression:max("hostB:monitoredItem")

Notice that I'm adding an item in hostA, trying to get a value from hostB.

But, when zabbix tries to get it, I got the following error msg: Can not evaluate function [max()]

If I change the expression to last("hostB:monitoredItem") it works.

Reading zabbix manual, it states that I can use anyone of the functions supported by triggers, that includes max.

So my question is: Am I missing something? Why max isn't working?

TIA,

Bob

looks like you are missing a parameter for max, one that defines at how long period it should look at
