If I delete values from Interval and Period, discovery will start working.

Even with agent 5.4.12 the bug is there

Hello Tauri,

Are you using Zabbix agent or Zabbix agent 2? Flexible/scheduled intervals as active items are supported only in Zabbix agent 2. The old Zabbix agent supports them only as passive items. This (and other) differences between agents can be found in https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/5.4/en/manual/appendix/agent_comparison.

I've been able to reproduce your problem by using Zabbix agent. As soon as I've switched to Zabbix agent 2, the problem disappeared.

Regards,

Eduardo

Hei.

Yes we used older agent, but this error hasn't been before and it seemed to work. 

I tested with Agent2 and it's working. We will go with agent2 for now. 

Thanks
