How to stop repeating actions
To stop a "runaway" action from repeating the full number of defined repeats, go to the zabbix database table alerts and set the repeats column equal to the maxrepeats column for that alert. You can find it using this query:
select alertid,subject from alerts where repeats < maxrepeats;
Updating is then a matter of
update alerts set repeats = maxrepeats where alertid = <alertid from above>;
