 Description   

I think it would be good to add a Zabbix Internal item to get the Host Maintenance Status. Something very similar to the property maintenance_status of the Host Object in the API.

For example:

zabbix[host,maintenance] - Effective maintenance status.

Possible values are:
0 - (default) no maintenance;
1 - maintenance in effect.

I use a lot of Aggregate Checks and I need this item to change my thresholds based on the number of hosts in the group that are in maintenance.

Thank you.

  • i'd also suggest to add in https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/maintenance something like :
    "it is possible to have individual triggers obey maintenance period by adding [[internal item]] <key> and including it in trigger expressions like this :
    <example>"
    note that the interval of this internal item should be less than the time it would take the trigger to fire - for example, if a trigger would check for data missing for 10 minutes using nodata(10m), maintenance item interval should be 10 minutes or less"
  • in whatsnew, it's not worth referencing : "like zabbix[host,,maintenance]."
    instead, we should explain the benefit of this change ("this item will now work correctly in cases when a host is monitored by a proxy" or similar)

sasha "internal items is now always processed by server or proxy regardless of maintenance status". It should be added into:
