That's would be nice to have. The calendars could be used for many different purposes: flexible intervals for items, maintenances times, trigger expressions, etc etc. zalex_ua yes, for example it also would be useful for IT services. And an idea to use it in user medias described in ZBXNEXT-1207. |

I wonder if such a calendar could also provide a central place to manage persons on call in some way. Maybe linking a list of users (with proper permissions) to a host group and make them available via macro for trigger names or within notifications in dependency of a calendar...not properly thought through yet |

For us it would be useful to have something which enables use to set up different thresholds (e.g. like a Sunday) on days like the 1st of January, 25th of December etc. |

If a Calendar were to exist a further option could be to include monitored data on it, eg if you were tracking domain + SSL expiry dates, they could be displayed so you can see upcoming events. |

A calendar for "on-call" engineers would be an excellent feature and in some cases invaluable. It is possible to manage an "on-call" schedule by integrating Zabbix with something like "OpsGenie" or "iLert" but that's far from ideal - plus it comes with risk of the 3rd party service being unavailable (i.e. Internet connection down), as well as the additional management overhead. Of course the "unavailability" risk can be mitigated by a serially attached GSM which can send SMS. However, unless you want to send a SMS to everyone in a User-Group, this carries another risk/overhead of needing somebody to regularly, manually and accurately update the "When Available" SMS Media Type to align with the on-call rota. If I could give this calendar feature more up-votes, I would ! |

From the triggers expressions perspective I would say if there was a expression named holiday to use in cases where the alert should not work in a holiday (like some humans do) it would be really good =) . Something to be used like: last(item-test)>50 and holiday=0
