Zabbix and timezone management

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi everybody
      When deploying zabbix agents/proxies in different localization and timezone, it's difficult to understand event, maintenance, scheduling aspects cause timezone is not taken into account.
      For instance if a proxy and agents (connected to this proxy) are in a different timezone, if an event occures it's displayed with zabbix central timezone which is sometime different.
      A solution could be to enrich the event time with the proxy or agent timezone
      Another exemple, with version 3.2 we have now possibilities to run item at a specific time (many thank's to this feature), but when we have proxy/agents around the world, it's difficult to manage this in template.
      A solution could be to add a flag in the item to take into account of host/proxy timezone. So when we deploy template on all hosts, the scheduling is automatically set to correct local timezone.
      And last but not least exemple is regarding maintenance configuration that should take into account of host timezone.

      Finally, at the moment, the only workaround I found, is to create as many template/maintenance as different timezones we have, not very conveniant.
      Hope it's clear
      Thank's a lot for your work and support
      Marc
