UP!

Still have issues with this.

You wrote that an email is sent every 60 seconds, is that during the failure? If so, have you configured the action to send email continuously during the failure? Please check the action settings.

During the failure - correct. Also yes - but that doesn't mean it should send email every 60secs if I'm checking it e.g. every 5 minutes.
If event is down 1 hour - I should get only 12 emails (5 min checks * 12 = 60) and not 60 emails (every 60 seconds), correct?

Please check your action settings.
The setting that keeps sending emails during a failure may be configured to do so in the action settings.

Under actions I only have options set to send message to zabbix administrators and to execute script, nothing else. There is no 60sec timer there. Recovery is disabled.
First I noticed that under host I have defined agent.ping.nodata to 300sec, but on zabbix template agent this was set to 60 - so I though...ok, maybe this is overwriting the host value and changed it also there. Now I'm not to find any agent ping value with 60 sec, however emails are still sent that frequently.

Is the step set in the operation details of the action settings? How are the steps set now?

It seems that the argument of nodata() has been changed, but it does not match the contents output to the log. If the settings do not match the resulting log, I don't know what settings you are currently doing.

Operation details:
Steps 1-1 (0 - infinitely)
Step duration (0 - use action default)
Operation type - Send message
Send to User groups - Zabbix administrators
Send only to - Email with SMTP Auth (this is simple script that send emails via SMTP, not plain)
Default message - CHECKED

Thank you for telling me what the action settings are.

Are you using the trigger “Zabbix agent on {HOST.NAME} is unreachable for 5 minutes” in the default template? Which is selected for “PROBLEM event generation mode”?
If Mulliple is selected, nodata() will evaluate the conditional expression once every 30 seconds regardless of the argument specification, so an event will occur and the action will be executed each time. If you want to be notified by e-mail at a longer time interval while the failure continues, you should set the event generation mode to single and specify the steps in the action settings.

It's multiple indeed. So I should configure exactly what in action settings? New step(s)? How many?
This is something that has changed in latest versions of zabbix - I've been using this in past in 2.x versions and it worked as expected.
