 Description   

When configuring an existing item to have an update interval of n days with n >1 using the string '2d' (for example), the update fails with the error: "Item will not be refreshed. Please enter a correct update interval."

This happens when reconfiguring the item using the webinterface, but also when reconfiguring the item using the api.

I would have expected the error message to either give details as to what was incorrect about the interval (since the time modifier 'd' is supported according to the docs), or Zabbix to not give an error at all and update the item to the desired interval.

Hello Herbert,

The maximum value is 86400 seconds = 24 hrs = 1d. If you want more specific scheduling, you can use Scheduled/Flexible intervals.

But I can confirm that error contains no information about the correct interval.

Regards,
Aleksejs!

The maximum value is 86400 seconds

How do you know it? https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/items/item#configuration does not say what the maximum allowed update interval is and neither does https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/config/items/item/custom_intervals

(1) [F] Translation string changes
Strings added:

  • Item will not be refreshed. Specified update interval requires having at least one either flexible or scheduling interval.
  • Item will not be refreshed. Update interval should be between 1s and 1d. Or you can use Scheduled/Flexible intervals.
  • Item will not be refreshed. Update interval should be between 1s and 1d. Also Scheduled/Flexible intervals can be used.

Miks.Kronkalns Translation string improved in r80395.
