    Any way to keep Zabbix from reprossing a log file when the trigger is changed?

    I have Zabbix set up to monitor the log file one of our processes outputs. In the log file it looks for the string "CRITICAL event=process failure".

    Since we originally set this up we have created additional events like "source failure" and "data failure". To support this change I need to update the trigger to look for "CRITICAL event=" rather than a specific event. When I make this change it causes Zabbix to reprocess the entire log file and throw alerts for tons of old entries.

    Is there a way to change this trigger and tell Zabbix to continue from the current point in the log file rather than starting from the beginning again?

    Thanks for the help!
