Hello,

we are a little bit confused about behavior of maintenances in Zabbix.
We know the 2 different ways to handle notifications until maintenance:

• Action condition "Maintenance status not in maintenance"
• Action operation flag "Pause operations while in maintenance"

But we are not sure if the documentation is incomplete or if there is a bug.

Following scenarios were tested:
Scenario 1:

• Action has condition "Maintenance status not in maintenance"
• Host is in maintenance
• Trigger fire up - No Action executed (thats fine)
• maintenance expires
• still no Action executed (there will be never a notification if a problem still exists after maintenance)

Scenario 2:

• Action has NO condition for maintenance configured, but activated flag "Pause operations while in maintenance"
• Host is in maintenance
• Trigger fire up - No Action executed (thats fine)
• maintenance expires
• Action is executed
  => all fine, but Scenario 3 ...

Scenario 3:

• Action has NO condition for maintenance configured, but activated flag "Pause operations while in maintenance"
• Host is in maintenance
• Trigger fire up
• Trigger cleared
• Action for PROBLEM and OK states are executed at the nearly same time (first PROBLEM, some seconds later OK)
• maintenance expired

So the expected behavior is that in Scenario 3 should no action executed. Requirements are simple:

• no actions until maintenance is active
• only problem actions after maintenance if problem still exists

There is no hint in documentation if this is even possible. So is Scenario 3 a bug? Or is our requirement a feature request?

Regards,
Marcel
