2.2.10, 2.4.6
LLD discovered objects should have finer control over their life cycle in Zabbix. LLD rules have no control mechanism for handling objects which are temporal in their nature. This generates noise in form of Internal action messages or messes things up if one is relaying on number of unsupported items as measure of Zabbix health.
For very basic control, having a way of specifying how old the object must be, before it is added to Zabbix would be great. Say, for file system one could specify 1 day, to avoid adding USB flash stick filesystm to Zabbix (when monitoring user PCs).
For more sophisticated control, maybe new objects should be added to monitoring right away but there needs to be a way of defining simple rules/ratio for object history as a function of how old is the object (i.e new objects get pruned faster if they are not discovered anymore)
