sum function doesn't work with month or year

[bruno42]

Hello,

sum(//hostkey,1w:now/w+1w) and sum(//hostkey,1d:now/d+1d) to sum up items of this week or day up to now are working without a problem, but
sum(//hostkey,1M:now/M+1M) and sum(//hostkey,1y:now/y+1y) to sum up a month or year do not work.
sum(//hostkey,1M:now) and sum(//hostkey,1y:now) don't work either.

The error message is always like this one:

• Cannot evaluate function: invalid second parameter at "sum(//hostkey,1M:now/M+1M)".

Any idea why this is so? A hint for a more detailed documentation on time shift than this one https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ion#time-shift would be highly appreciated.
Version of Zabbix is 6.0.6.

Thanks for your assistance!

In the page you linked there is a link to time suffixes that says:

Time suffixes

For time you can use:

• s - seconds (when used, works the same as the raw value)
• m - minutes
• h - hours
• d - days
• w - weeks

So there is no time suffix for month or year. If you like you can check https://support.zabbix.com if there is already an enhancement request available (vote for it if already found), or open a new request there.
