 Description   

Frontend's trigger expression condition editor says that:
"fuzzytime() - Difference between item timestamp value and Zabbix server timestamp is over T seconds (1 - true, 0 - false)"

however, I believe the correct fuzzytime return values would be (0 - true, 1 - false), as stated in the manual:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/manual/appendix/triggers/functions

Just tested the 4.0.2, and fuzzytime(T) indeed returns 0 when time difference is over T.

Thank you alix.
Yes, it is as you stated - current values in documentation are correct.
The ones in frontend will be fixed in scope of this task.

Comment by richlv [ 2018 Dec 03 ]

The values in the frontend were previously auto-generated from the manual - thus allowing for a uniform styling and requiring only one location to keep up to date manually. Perhaps it is worth to return to that approach.

richlv, you take it wrong. This has never happened, but the remark is right . Thanks!

I do recall it happening in ZBX-9168, where all of item key helper descriptions were fully and completely regenerated from the manual
Also in ZBXNEXT-2791 and ZBX-12554, maybe more occurrences.

That approach allowed to stop worrying about the key helper - if item descriptions were changed or if new keys were added, it all was pushed in the item key helper easily and semi-automatically.

Fixed in:

  • pre-3.0.25rc1 r88053
  • pre-4.0.4rc1 r88054
  • pre-4.2.0alpha2 (trunk) r88055
