Have Zabbix configured to send emails when a trigger is acknowledged. By default, "Selected and all other unacknowledged problems of related triggers" is selected when doing this. This is fine most of the time, but if somebody does this on a Monday morning for a trigger that has been flapping all weekend, a storm of emails is generated, with one for each of the hundreds of times the event has fired.
A few fixes that would work for me:
- Auto-ack problems than then clear without being acked.
- Collapse all ACK messages into one. No point sending a largely identical email hundreds of times. As it's only the timestamp that varies in these emails, just put a list of timestamps into the email.
- Only send an email about the most recent event being acked.
So, is any of the above possbile without patching?
