 Description   

Currently new actions based on triggers have one predefined condition: "host not in maintenance". It does not work with "Pause operations while in maintenance" which is enabled by default as well. If both options are enabled Zabbix does not send notifications after maintenance period ends.

So Zabbix frontend should create new actions without "host not in maintenance" condition at all.

I think that another point that makes "host not in maintenance" not a nice default at all is the fact that even without using "Pause operations while in maintenance" feature it won't work as expected - or at least as it used to - because you won't get any extra event in case the trigger is still in problem state at the end of the maintenance period.
Basically "host not in maintenance" condition it's not of much use with the last version of zabbix.

(2) [F] Documentation needs to be updated.

natalja.cernohajeva: necessary documentation update has been executed.

Affected pages:

(removed note mentioning default setting, updated information in Maintenance status section)

RESOLVED

sasha Do not need to update information in Maintenance status section.

With this condition notifications are not sent for hosts in maintenance.

In some cases this can be not true. For example,

In that case notifications will be send for all "Zabbix servers" or for hosts in non-maintenance status.

REOPENED

 

natalja.cernohajeva: Removed this information from Maintenance status section. Before that the note (When a new action for triggers is created, it gets one condition automatically: "Maintenance status = not in //maintenance//". With this condition notifications are not sent for hosts in maintenance. This condition can be removed by the user.) which is not valid any more was also removed.

RESOLVED

sasha In general, this is true. But users may misinterpret this. Therefore, it is better to remove it from the documentation.

Thanks! CLOSED
