Hey all.
I'm new to zabbix and after endless googling, and reading the documentation, I can't find a solution.
My goal is to create a check that makes sure that servers are in the correct timezone.
I have all servers required to be in CET timezone in a template, I also have another server, to act as the reference point.
I have the servers returning the localtime, which is converted to a number (unsigned) after the string is filtered using a regex.
so, that bit works ok now.
It'd be GREAT if you could compare strings in triggers.
I have a calculated item that does the same thing as the templated item, (which does feel inefficient to me)
surely I should be able to use the templated check and reference a specific host in a trigger? but I can't it throws an error.
I'd like to create a trigger, that applies to the template, and references the calculated item.
what's the syntax?
this doesn't work, but what should the structure be if its possible?
```{Template Timezone CET Check:system.localtime[local].last() <> localtime_calc_item}```
doesn't work.
Many thanks
Ian
