| Description |
|
When a host is placed in maintenance mode (with data gathering) and one of the triggers fires, the actions get blocked fine, however the front-end sounds are still played everytime the trigger fires. example: We monitor some internet lines, and sometimes there is a problem on one of the lines. We send an engineer to the location and place the host in maintenance mode. While the engineer is working, we would like to get data from the host, to be able to support the engineer on location with our findings. While this host is in a maintenance period, the actions don't fire (which is good) but the front-end sounds still play. This is unwanted behavior, because we are aware that this host is being worked on. My co-workers however need to monitor the other hosts (which are not in maintenance mode). And every time a sound plays, they have to check their monitoring screens. The danger here in is that the sounds play too often, not alerting them, because we know a host is being worked on. It would be a welcome feature to be able to disable front-end sounds for hosts in maintenance mode. |

Did you mean sounds only or visual notifications as well ? |

I know you can enable/disable the notifications per user. This is not what I'm looking for however. The point is, everyone on the helpdesk has the dashboard page open, so they get notified when something happens with a host. |

Just a small bump. This "problem" still exists and it would still be greatly appreciated if we could enable/disable if we want to receive sounds when hosts in maintenance mode get triggered. |

In larger environments this issue is quite important, because disaster/high sounds and notifications pop up too frequently. User have a hard choice - use sound and get a terrifying beep every 20 minutes ( in perfectly fine system) or turn the sound off at all. |

Bump It would be great to have the ability to disabled sound and popup notification for systems that are in maintenance. One of my clients is running Zabbix with a central monitor to display the latest triggers. With monthly updates the admins get a beep every time a server is restarted. The triggers should fire as normal, only sound and popup should be disabled. |

A small patch on zabbix 2.4 : diff ./include/events.inc.php ./include/events.inc.php.nopatch Maybe, we make better but I have not time to optimize it. |
