Hi,
Please i would like to use JavaScript module @Azure/identity This cant be load as i understood. Zabbix server is using Duktape 2 which is very limited Javascript engine. Can you please add this to next release? I need this to monitor Azure resource authenticating to Azure through Virtual machine identity instead of Service Principal.
Kind regards, Anas |

We have a ton of hosts with a template, where we have made a lot of adjustments, disabling few triggers on the template, where these triggers already have been created on the hosts. However, there is no way to force on one command to mass update all hosts which use this template to enable/disable one or more trigger. This behavior isn't compatible with the "template" idea, where you should have a unique point of maintenance and which is they propose, write on the documentation : Request of new feature : Two options for implementation: 1) add two more buttons: "Enable current" , "Disable current" , which will enable or disable all the status of the triggers selected on all hosts where theses prototypes were used. 2) do the same, but into with the option into the "mass update" screen.

It is necessary to add to the templates the ability to add host discovery rules, which will allow LD rules to detect components that zabbix knows how to monitor.

Till now for popup link Trigger URL can use only last item value and not original value.

Description |
It is currently still not possible to add more Host Groups to dependent hosts derived from LLD; e.g. VMware Hypervisors and VMs. Unfortunately, that is a rather big restriction to using VMware LLD as main discovery method; these dependent host will only have those Host Groups specified in the template. As user access rights are tied to host groups, this makes dependent host useless in environments where different access rights are crucial. |

Comment by Shane Arnold [ 2023 Oct 26 ] |
+1 for this. Due to design I have an implementation that needs both granular RBAC, custom host groups and also discovery of the majority of their hosts via VMware. |

Ok, porém de onde você está coletando o vencimento da garantia do Hardware? Não seria mais fácil, coletar esta informação do inventário? Em vez de popular o inventário automáticamente, esta informação é populada manualmente, e usa esta informação para gerar alertas no próprio zabbix. Is not it easier to collect this inventory information? Instead of populating the inventory automatically, this information is populated manually, and uses this information to generate alerts in zabbix itself. |

What i want to do is when actually port comes up i want my OK/recovery mail to come |
Comments |
Comment by Alex King [ 2020 Oct 23 ] |
it sounds like you've only implemented a problem expression and are using the implicit recovery ok expression. Set a separate recovery/ok expression to look explicitly for UP. Take a look at the hysteresis section and I think you'll be able to solve the problem. Also you should consider using recommendations there and for example last(10m) to prevent flapping. You should also use a different time duration threshold for the recovery trigger expression. |

Hi, At the services page, today we have the option to filter by period and this filter is very limited. I would like to request an improvement for this filter. Preferable for a customizable filter just like the problems filter where we can set the period from / to . The reason for this is to allow for this page to become more useful for the IT manager. Today my manager request to report every month the availability of our databases, this page perhaps not generate any report could be a perfect solution for me where I get a print from the page, but to keep the track of the exact month to generate the report I have no option unless open it on the last day of the current month and use "this month" period, if I lost this moment I have no way to get this information again. I would like to use the "Time period select" there.

Comment by Ben Hanson [ 2018 Nov 02 ] |
I didn't give up on Cacti/RRD/MRTG until I learned how maps, screens, graph prototypes and LLD all worked together(which took way to long to discover). I didn't think screens were of any value until I started mapping and stumbled on the "host screens" context menu item on a map. At a minimum, the host screens should be exposed on the screens page, similarly to how host graphs are exposed on the graphs page. Would be as straightforward as adding a "host screens" item to the drop down(Screens, Host Screens, Slide shows), then implementing a host screens filter, again, methodology ripped straight from graphs. |

https://www.zabbix.com/roadmap The screens functionality will be merged with the dashboards and the screens themselves will be made obsolete. |

Screens are made obsolete in Zabbix 5.4. Shall we close this ticket? |
Comment by Marc Schoechlin [ 2021 May 26 ] |
No, in my understanding Host Screens are now called Host Dashboards. With Zabbix 5.2 a important feature of regarding host dashboard functionality is broken (ZBX-18831). |

Comment by Marc [ 2017 Mar 06 ] |
If this implementation renders the Graph in the Web browser engine on client side, then it would be nice if already fetched values get cached. Fetching only missing item data promises to significantly reduce the volume to be queried from the database - what is a weak spot of Zabbix right now. At least when having many users and dashboards resp. screens. |

Description |
I'd like to add support for LLD macro in SNMPv3 contextname item field. I want to monitor BGP peers in several Avaya Ethernet Routing Switches. Some of the BGP peers are inside VRF and can only be accessed with the use of specific SNMPv3 contextname. I've created a discovery rule that list all VRF and then all BGP peers inside these. For example: { "data":[ { "{#SNMPVALUE}":"BGP to xx.xx.xx.xx", "{#SNMPINDEX}":"1.4.dd.dd.dd.dd.1.4.xx.xx.xx.xx", "{#SNMPCONTEXT}":"" }, { "{#SNMPVALUE}":"In vrf1 BGP to yy.yy.yy.yy", "{#SNMPINDEX}":"1.4.dd.dd.dd.dd.1.4.yy.yy.yy.yy", "{#SNMPCONTEXT}":"vrf1" } ] } Here's a patch against current trunk that should do the job! Can this feature be included in some next release? Thanks |

I have this need too. Specifically trying to monitor Checkpoint VS (Virtual Systems) with SNMP LLD via a template. Name: VS Stats Type: SNMPv2 agent Key: vacmContextName SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.6.3.16.1.1.1.1.5 SNMP community: {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} An item prototype then looks like this: Name: {#SNMPVALUE} - Connections: Current Type: SNMPv3 agent Key: fwNumConn.[{#SNMPVALUE}] SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.25.3.0 Context name: ctxname_{#SNMPVALUE} Security name: ********* Security level: authNoPriv Authentication passphrase: ******** This gives nice LLD items on the templated host like this: Name: VS Stats: vsid1 - Connections: Current Key: fwNumConn.[vsid1] Name: VS Stats: vsid2 - Connections: Current Key: fwNumConn.[vsid2] etc.. Item status is "Enabled" and shows up in latest data, but no values ever get collected, since the {#SNMPVALUE} part in "Context name" never gets resolved, and "ctxname_{#SNMPVALUE}" is instead send to the Checkpoint firewall, which it of course cannot translate to an existing VS context. I've verified that using a user definable macro indeed does work in the "Context name" field, which does produce valid item data via SNMPv3. Having the {#SNMPVALUE}, and maybe also {#SNMPINDEX}, macro resolve properly in the "Context name" field would be very useful. I hope this usage description might help push the development of this forward. |
Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2020 Aug 07 ] |
I cannot treat this issue as a bug report. Currently Zabbix does not officially support lld macros in the SNMP context field. Moving back to ZBXNEXT project. |
Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2020 Aug 07 ] |
Probably this will be implemented in |
Comment by Dimitri Bellini [ 2020 Sep 04 ] |
Hi Alexander, I would encourage the implementation of this feature because is very import for a good "discovery" on most of Network/SAN devices. Thanks so much |

Description |
After migrating my Zabbix from version 3.x to 4.x the time filter selector on graphics and problems become a pain. The idea is good but the options are a mess, very confusing pre-set filters and a great resource was removed which is the "window navigation". My suggestion for improvement is : 1) Allow customizing the options shown, this way we can get better use of them. This should be allowed at system scope and allow to override at user profile. The idea is a screen where show all options with the period rule at the front and then allow to edit the description and the rule.
2) The "window navigation" option still exists but it works only over the same period selected. In the ZBX v3.x , where there a ruler to set the period filter have options to navigate the window in other space of time, like "1d", this way if I'm looking for a behave in a graphic between 00h-03h and want to check how was the behave of this graphic at the same period one, two, three days ago, isn't possible I need to edit manually the filter which is painful. So, my suggestion here is at the same customizable screen requested above, allow to create quick window navigation :

Description |
It would be very useful to allow for item tag filtering for the Svg Graph widget. In one of my setups we have a lot of layers of information that can be presented in many aggregated or individual views. In one case, we have a processing flow that contains many processes and those processes contain many threads. We monitor the CPU usage of specific threads to identify which host, flow, process and thread is the cause of backpressure. For these items we have really long names in this format: CPU Usage - <flow> - <process> - <thread> A name like the one above is very difficult to read and understand in the Svg Graph. It would be much better to be able to set the title of the graph widget with the values of <flow> <process> and <thread> and just have the name "CPU Usage" show up in the legend or hintbox along with the host.
I have plenty of other examples, if you need them, but I think this is a necessary change for the Svg Graph widget as more visualization features are added to Zabbix in the upcoming 7.0 release.

Description |
I use Zabbix to monitor a high performance computing environment. The environment is comprised of clusters of many hosts that perform similar functions in parallel. For this reason, there are certain metrics that we monitor that are aggregated on the cluster-level instead of on a per host basis. In Zabbix we use a synthetic host to denote these cluster-aggregated metrics. For some of our clusters we have some synthetic hosts that have 20,000 or more unique items. Some hosts have 50,000 items. In these cases when you click the Select button in the graph widget and filter for one of these hosts the browser times out or becomes unusable. We need to introduce pagination in some form. I personally think this would be a good time to introduce pagination through scrolling (or infinite scrolling pagination). But any kind of pagination is fine as this will limit the amount of data returned to the user, and prevent browser crashing. |

Description |
Dear Madam/Sir, In fact, we decided to use Zabbix for monitoring our MSSQL environment. Therefore, we used Zabbix's official MSSQL template ([ https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mssql|https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mssql] ). But I didn't find answers to some important questions in this related. First: According to this template, is compulsory that we open MSSQL port 1433 toward the Zabbix for monitoring that or not? ( my meaning is, the 1433 port has to open through the network firewall as well as the 10050 port Zabbix agent for retrieving the MSSQL data. ??? ) Second: This template only works with the Zabbix agent or we can use the template based on SNMP Version 3 for getting MSSQL data. ???? Whether there is any possibility to monitor MSSQL through SNMP by Zabbix or not? Third: the mentioned username and password in this template is compulsory for getting MSSQL data or not? whether there is any possibility to monitor MSSQL by Zabbix without any credentials to MSSQL Server even Read user?? Best Regards |

Comment by Justin Morse [ 2022 Dec 15 ] |
You probably need to have the SQL Ports open and set up an ODBC connection. You need to set up a login for the ODBC connection, which is what the macro login is for the template, and is what zabbix uses to pull SQL Data. 1. unixODBC 2. Driver for ODBC Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server Once installed you configure the ini files, for example: /etc/odbc.ini /etc/odbcinst.ini
You should be able to test the ODBC connection using isql, for example: isql -v <DSN> <username> <password> < should get a successful connection and can now run queries Zabbix documentation on ODBC monitoring: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/items/itemtypes/odbc_checks |

Comment by Andrei Gushchin (Inactive) [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
Sorry it was typo. Actually {$TEST1} |
Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2013 Apr 25 ] |
Andrei, User Macro equal {$TEST1} -> gantest This information is related to this problem? I didn't understand it. |
Comment by Andrei Gushchin (Inactive) [ 2013 Apr 25 ] |
Alexander, Yes it is value of Macros $TEST1. Additional information I change name in trigger to {$$TEST1} ['/usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts/test1.py', 'Trigger name: name {26139TEST1}'] As I inderstand it is number of pid. |
Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2013 Apr 25 ] |
But, the user macro should remain as is here. I.e. all macros from trigger name should be sent to script without any changes. |
Comment by Andrei Gushchin (Inactive) [ 2013 Apr 25 ] |
I found where was problem.
/usr/bin/python /usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts/test1.py 'Trigger name: {TRIGGER.NAME.ORIG}'
And it is work good ['/usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts/test1.py', 'Trigger name: name {$TEST1}'] I'll closing this issue, It isn't bug. Thanks. |
Comment by Andrei Gushchin (Inactive) [ 2013 Apr 25 ] |
If expression uses in action throw the script, there is a some problem. action message: Trigger name: ''{TRIGGER.NAME.ORIG}'' in server log when send message: 9664:20130425:172034.832 In zbx_popen() command:'/usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts/test.sh "123" "PROBLEM: name gantest" "Trigger name: name {$TEST1}"' shell get it how string with variables, {$TEST1} disappeared in output Trigger name: ''name {}'' I found it in code and do some changes, and It will work: alerter.c: 103: -- zbx_snprintf_alloc(&cmd, &cmd_alloc, &cmd_offset, " \"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\"", send_to, subject, message); ++ zbx_snprintf_alloc(&cmd, &cmd_alloc, &cmd_offset, " \'%s\' \'%s\' \'%s\'", send_to, subject, message); after in server log: 27816:20130425:183849.634 In zbx_popen() command:'/usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts/test.sh '123' 'PROBLEM: name gantest' 'Trigger name: ''name {$TEST1}'''' and output Trigger name: name {$TEST1} I think need more deep testing about this patch. |

Our system was briefly in the future due to a clock problem. Now I see some triggers with "host unreachable" hanging, due in Aug 2013 and I can't remove them. I already did the following things: update triggers set lastchange = unix_timestamp() where lastchange > unix_timestamp(); I'm a bit lost because this currently renders zabbix unusable. |

Comment by Timo A. Hummel [ 2013 Feb 22 ] |
I have finally found the issue: It seems that they're disabled until that specific date in august and I cannot change that from the GUI - in fact, I don't even get any info until when the host is disabled! Please include that in the GUI somewhere. The disable_until value should at least be cleared when activating a host. select host, from_unixtime(disable_until) from hosts; +----------------------------------------+------------------------------+ | host | from_unixtime(disable_until) | +----------------------------------------+------------------------------+ | db.rzl | 2013-08-04 07:11:28 | |

Yes, should be cleared all hosts.disable_until*, drules.nextcheck, httptest.nextcheck fields in this case. Zabbix server should be restarted. I'm closing the issue. |

Current Elastic problems:
Zabbix supports real time data export, which can be imported into the same Elastic, which will make it possible to use the advantages of both systems - operational monitoring and historical data for analytics using Elastic. Suggestion: drop support in 6.0 or make it work as scalable storage option with fast history syncing. |

According to https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/introduction/whatsnew300#multiple_oid_support_in_snmp_discovery But I could not find in documentation (especially on upgrade 3.0 notes) any information that old syntax (just OID) is not supported.

(1) also, as we started to use special syntax for OID - why we didn't perform OID syntax check similarly to item key ? |

Thank you Oleksiy. All made in the instructions. Began to work. Good modification. Previously, there was no access to the documentation 3.0. |

The OIDs to discover are defined in SNMP OID field in the following format: discovery[{#MACRO1}, oid1, {#MACRO2}, oid2, …,]. |

Description |
The Zabbix server and proxy, when performing SSH simple checks via the ssh.run[] item employing keys, do not perform the validation and verification of the target peer, which allows for the prospect of a malicious actor on the network to impersonate the target machine and successfully intercept the traffic transported over the secure channel. A properly designed and performed attack can carry out the theft of information transparently to the monitoring system. This change requires adding extra steps to the session establishing part of the code for the server/proxy and possibly adding some code to the frontend, if customization is required by the user. All versions of Zabbix that provide SSH checks are affected. |

We have a case whereby a template used for SMART monitoring covers both HDD and SSD hosts. The items in the template are of type dependant. In some cases, there are items that can't be evaluated, as the value cannot be found (for example Percentage Lifetime Used is only available on SSD's not HDD's. Each time the item is processed, an error is logged in the Zabbix Server log file, which dumps out the entire output, as follows:- 12689:20180510:114743.525 error reason for "host1-example:uHDD["/dev/bus/0 -d sat+megaraid,0",202]" changed: Item preprocessing step #1 failed: cannot perform regular expression match on value "smartctl 6.4 2014-10-07 r4002 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-5-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 16 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 182 180 021 Pre-fail Always - 7875 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 15 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 055 055 000 Old_age Always - 33251 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 15 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 14 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 209 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 115 108 000 Old_age Always - 37 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 100 253 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 100 253 000 Old_age Offline - 0" of type "string": pattern does not match We are monitoring thousands of hosts with Zabbix, and are seeing the log files hit anything around 5G.

Thanks as always!

Another problem with such message is that value comes before the error and if the value is big enough error gets truncated in the DB and can't be seen in the frontend. Error is typically short and way more important for troubleshooting than the value. |
Comment by Alexey Pustovalov [ 2018 May 10 ] |
It is better to avoid such error messages from your scripts. Zabbix operates with raw values, you must care about script output. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2018 May 10 ] |
Dear dotneft, you didn't get the point. Message is: Item preprocessing step #1 failed: cannot perform regular expression match on value "X" of type "string": pattern does not match and is produced by Zabbix server. Reporter suggests to limit the printed length of X (which is a raw value before preprocessing). |
Comment by Alexey Pustovalov [ 2018 May 10 ] |
Sorry, I see, in this case I suppose it is good idea to remove such messages at all. It is really not warning message |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2018 May 10 ] |
Good idea from dotneft: don't include the raw value in the message at all because it can change quite frequently and will cause lots of unnecessary error reason for "host:item" changed: ... in the log file and lots of unnecessary updates of items.error in the database. |
Comment by Duncan Mountford [ 2018 May 11 ] |
Limiting the value of X would be brilliant, but as Alexey says I think the error is somewhat irrelevant. The error is saying that the regular expression didn't match anything in the string, which....is fine! |

I would like if you separated out the portions of the agent into a new process. (E.g. zabbix_exec, zabbix_agent_execd, or something..) This process would perform the following actions:
This would gain large configuration flexibility and security benefits such as "Now being able to...":
As we don't have agent ssl or auth, this is IMO a critical security issue as well. Splitting this code out to it's own daemon might even make it easier for you or someone else to implement server<->agent authentication and encryption. Thanks for your time guys! |

the new logging in zabbix is improved in many ways so now there is much more logging.
however because of this we have nog 30G per day in logs
we need to have an option to fine tune what we want to log in zabbix ex exclude certain users from api loggin do we need the details from the mails sent to be logged yes or no
this would remove unneeded data from the logging or maybe split up the time that we keep logs by resource

Description |
The new audit Logging in version 6.0 is much improved but is incredibly costly in large environments Too many logs are generated, specifically during low level discovery. Over 6 days the database table grew to 22GB which is not sustainable, particularly when the Housekeeper runs. Moving forward the expansion of the audit logging needs the same configuration flexibility as the User roles do, allowing the ability to turn on and off specific audit Logging resource types. |

It would be nice, if Zabbix Frontend had an Upgrade indicator. Something that tells you, that a new minor or major release is available. A good spot might be the System information view (zabbix.php?action=report.status). Of course, there should be a setting to turn it on or off in one of the php config files, like we already do with the "database tables upgraded" switch. You should also be able to set if you want to see only minor and/or major releases. |

you can use grafana for this. just a couple of hours to configure |

I have been collecting temperature data via probes connected to one host and want to move them to another host but would like to keep all of the data. That's why I would like to see this feature implemented. |
Comment by Chris Kistner [ 2012 Jul 17 ] |
I would also love to have this feature. I also find it quite annoying that when you copy an item that it does not copy the associated Application(s), Trigger(s) and Graph(s) with. Currently one option would be to move the host's monitoring end-point, instead of moving the items. At this very moment I'm actually modifying the Zabbix hostid in the item table to move my item(s) from one host to another. |
Comment by Areg Vrtanesyan [ 2013 Aug 31 ] |
Hi I would like to have this too as it will help to move the collected data to other host for example if I am running the multiple instance of same service on one host and would like to separate data collected for the server and service. https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=137081 Voted for this Regards, |
Comment by Antti Hätinen [ 2019 Mar 23 ] |
I would like this feature. Now I had to move the item and trigger by using SQL, but UI button would be nice, easier and more robust for most people. UPDATE items SET hostid=<newid> WHERE itemid = <oldid>; It seems that there is relation to triggers so that all triggers to the item follow automatically to the new host. |

Description |
Scripts which are executed as zabbix UserParameter needs a way to return a temporary error gracefully. Currently if a script returns an empty response or other error message it's turned as "Not supported" in zabbix and thus the item is no longer updated. Currently Zabbix defines this as a feature as UserParameter scripts should always return some value and empty value indicates that the item is not supported. I think that current behavior is faulted and it needs to be changed some how to allow script to return a temporary error. Few ideas how to fix this:
Current workarounds which have been suggested but aren't a good way to solve the problem:
|
Comments |
Comment by Juho Mäkinen [ 2009 Dec 01 ] |
Here's an example of a situation where this problem might occur: Think for an item which returns a temperature in Celsius and that all possible temperature numbers are valid. The temperature is fetch with an UserParameter script which prints the temperature value to stdout. For +10'C it prints "10", for -12'C it prints "-12" and so on. Then the script notices that it cannot get the temperature data for some reason, like that the meter is broken, the connection is lost or it has lost its power. The script doesn't know the temperature but it must print something, because an empty response is considered as ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED which will result zabbix to change the item status to "Not supported". Currently there isn't any way to return a temporary error from the script. After all we want to assume that the problem will be corrected and after that new temperature values must be collected with the item. We could do a workaround by using the fact that temperatures can't be below -273.15 'C and define an arbitrary value like -1000 to indicate a temporary error. But this will result that zabbix will add those -1000 error values as normal values and they will thus be presented in graphs. |
Comment by richlv [ 2009 Dec 01 ] |
i'd suggest modifying the way unsupported handling happens in the server instead. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2010 Oct 12 ] |
Perhaps the new item status should depend on availability of historical data in the database. If the data is available, then change status to "temporarily unavailable", "not supported" otherwise. What do you think? |

database inconsistencies should be much more rare with 2.0 - it introduced foreign keys and other checks. some are still possible, though (like application-item linkage in nested configuration etc) |

Maybe the referenced script might be a reference for checks. I fully agree, preventing problems is better than discovering problems |

Hi, When managing a large scale environment in Zabbix (specifically network monitoring), there are several impractical implementations in the frontend.

I'm suggesting the following changes:

Currenlty we dont have a monitoring key defined to get the count of guest VMs deployed on each host network interface. It would be good to have such an option available, so that it can help in balancing network interfaces. For example: In below Screenshot of one ofmy Exsi hosts, I have 2 10.40.x.x Private interface configured, so if I can get the No.of VMs against ecah interface as seen below, it would help us greatly.

it was already annoying that there was not a selection box for tags but now that applications are replaced with tags its even more annoying

Comment by Brian van Baekel [ 2021 May 18 ] |
A selection or dropdown menu for finding "existing" tags on a host/template items/triggers just like we have for Hostgroups would be extremely useful!
Now indeed, if you are not 100% consistent this is within 5 minutes a mess... Screenshot added to show how fast you can create (unintentionally!) a dramatic look... +1 for this idea! |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2021 May 18 ] |
I was actually discussing this in a training after I received a question about applications being removed and I can tell you that 5 trainees (and myself) here agree.
This feature missing from what we had with applications before is definitely a loss. Gotta have it back |

prometheus has labels (tags) something like this where you can choose the tags to filter would be. nice i t hink
it would even be more cool if we had a latest data page like this where you have the visual overview of the metrics that you can choose on the right it should be possible to show all tags starting with name cpu under CPU so that we can select the correct value per tag.
In this case latest data would integrate latest data and graphs in some way

I guess that already exists with host dashboards. but you're right we need the application or something like that back |
Comment by patrik uytterhoeven [ 2021 Jul 16 ] |
host dashboards are a step in the right direction but are not usable at the moment. https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-6727 i made a ticket about it there is too much work to do at the moment if you like to make a dashboard that works for lets say 10 hosts you need to make 10 dashboards in zabbix and every widget needs to get configured manually in grafana this is possible with 1 dashboard and some regex to filter

Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2021 Oct 13 ] |
We are aiming to fix usability issues related to removal of applications in 6.0, at least for Latest data view. I'd like to see simple interface for filtering, preferably with one-click selection of tags, not sure about grouping. I find grouping in Latest data (as it was in 5.2 and earlier versions) not perfect, perhaps flat table view (5.4) is a better choice. |
Comment by Matias [ 2021 Oct 13 ] |
I can assure you that nobody thinks that the current flat table view is usable. We need a way to group by tags as we used to do with applications, this is basic functionality that almost every other monitoring solutions has. Plz guys, just take a look at any feedback about 5.4. This is the 1# problem mention on every forum post and group chat. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2021 Oct 13 ] |

Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2021 Oct 13 ] |
I think that grouping can be done in many ways. One solution is just to group items in the table as we did before and what the plugin does. Another solution (a better one, but I might be wrong) is to introduce one click selection of tags and tag values you want to filter information by. Perhaps a combination of both is the best one. I will try to come up with mockups later on. |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2021 Oct 13 ] |
First of all very happy to hear that the Tag filtering is being worked on, as it definitely very important to the overal perception of 6.0. Related to ZBX-19413: When it comes to the flat view, I agree with Alexei that grouping can be done in many ways and options to make things better should always be explored once the chance arrives. Zabbix 6.0 isn't a very long way off though so just an idea for a possible quick fix. It would be possible to allow us to sort the latest data page by tags. Not possible at the moment, as we can only sort on name or host. Sorting by tags would basically allow us to use the latest data page like the old way of applications. Just without the option to collapse each tag.
Looking forward to the mockups |

Hi guys
the idea is simple in a way - imagine that when configuring usergroups the tag filer option will not only apply to problem view but also to entity view - like hosts & items.
This way the host groups based permissions would replaced by tags based permission - that will radically decrease the need of "overcomplexed hostgroups nesting"
Imagine that you could setup a tag on template level that all items will inherite ( imagine two different templates one with tag customer: AB and one with tag customer: CD ) on the other you'll have a host with tags: customer: AB and customer: CD. There will be a usergroup with permissions to see all entities with tag customer: AB ( no inclusions needed, no nested and forgotten hostgropus ). To the same host you allatach for example a template for linux ( all items will inherit the tag os:linux ). Then you add this tag permission to the previosly mention usergroup - as a result the user will be able to see customer related metrics with linux related metrics. Possinilities are of course much wider. In addition I can see tags also on host groups level, as they contain templates too and it would be possible to give permissions to them ( editing for example ).
What do you think ?- in my opinion concept like this would make life much easier permisions wise to maintain and design. Especially as the application on item level have been replaced by tags. And host can be tagged for a longer time already.

definely, this is a very good feature. we have thousand of hostgroups for multi-tenency user. tag based permission control will reduce the cost of management and be more flexible. Since zabbix is supporting tags for every where. |

this is extremely needed in MSP/noc escenarios where you need to provide granular access to zabbix data. |

Hello there! Then i saw multiple discussions on Zabbix Forum and other Websites with the same idea/topic so i decided to post here.
It would benefit a lot of Zabbix Users to have a option on Trigger Severities to create custom severities and also the option to add custom sounds on Frontend Messaging. Here:
Lets say i want to create a new severity called "Update Complete" Another exampkle: "Backup Failed" . I would use this Severity and bind a audio saying "Backup on Server Failed" - So alongside with visualization we would also have audio response! Even better. PS: I know that this would be possible using API of some external software/tool but it would be a superb and handy feature to have this in Zabbix. |

Hi, For a customer I am currently building a Proxy dependent templates using the built in templates. An easy task in it's essence, but it has turned into a time consuming task now. In this and other cases when you want to mass update trigger dependencies you want to ADD one or two to some/all triggers. Instead we only have the REPLACE option which will drop all other Trigger dependencies: Why isn't it possible to choose like we can when adding templates to a host:
Definitely an important feature to add I think
Kind regards,

Why not to use https://www.pgbouncer.org/ ? |
Comment by Kris Avi [ 2022 May 11 ] |
pgbouncer being another component that could fail and might be too much of overhead to add extra machines for pgbouncers, setting up VIP between them to direct traffic towards correct pgbouncer, while in that case you already would direct traffic against vip that is assigned to readwrite node.
The whole point of supporting connectionstring would be to avoid adding extra components in the chain for HA solution. I would not even go for JDBC connectionstring, as it is coming from Java side, but since zabbix is made in PHP, then the https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php function seems to support libpq and it's format https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html In that case the connectionstring could contain all the hosts in cluster and choose the one cluster that is read-write https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/597797 Seems to be example of how it is configured in here. Since the connection creation towards correct node is done still by the same library, then no extra components will be used and no extra links in the chain will be introduced with that change.
In current setup we have set up vip in front of PG servers and in the servers there is also HAProxy installed just to direct traffic to read-write node. It is ugly and has extra parts that could fail, but it gives the chance that DB has done failover to another node, but for some reason VIP did not follow, then the DB connections still end up at RW node.
With the connectionstring potential usecase for performance optimization could be to direct write requests towards rw node and read requests to any of the node in the whole cluster, could allow scalability on read requests, which zabbix will get more to load the values for graphs. That would probably mean that in config there could be RW connectionstring and RO connectsionstring. If RO one is not filled, RW will be used. |

I would like add my vote for this request! |
Comment by Kris Avi [ 2023 Jan 24 ] |
pgBouncer is not solution in here at all. pgPool-II could be possibly used in place, but it is hassle to set up pgPool-II for this purpose and another alternative is to set up HAProxy on zabbix server hosts, that forward traffic to read-write postgres node. The HAProxy solution is currently used for me, but in there the best would be to have Layer 4 proxy mode and do health checks and RW node checks in Layer 4 as well and it is annoying if you happen to have password on the role checking for RW node.
So I took half a day and generated patch for this feature zabbix6_pg_connstring.patch
I tested PHP side and seemed to work fine, even when switchover from one node to another. Was not able to build C++ Server application to test it, since working on Windows mainly and setting up build environment currently would take longer than needed.
This patch seemed to be good for tag '6.0.0' and checked out commit was 5203d2ea7d901cd33d148f20586e2155901a7faa.
Patch implements Postgres connectionstring support and support to add target_session_attr on Postgres connections when using old parameters. In the old code it is possible to add multiple hosts on DBHost field, making it work quite similar to what connstring is implementing. But for automatic failover the target_session_attr is required. |
Comment by Kris Avi [ 2023 Mar 09 ] |
Updated patch to current master (6cfe791429d7cccda0205335868976cac6c51039) zabbix6_4_pg_connstring.patch Patch still has both changes, one to add target_session_attr config option (with default value of "read-write") and other one to use connectionstring instead of all the connection parameters. Even the target_session_attr change would give possibility to write multiple hosts on DBHost field and get correct HA capabilities. If you would like to keep old behavior, then target_session_attr could have the default value of "any", but would be good to have possibility to configure it. This change is vital for Zabbix HA capabilities, without database zabbix is nothing. It is not normal situation to change Zabbix config if for some reason DB should have to do failover to replica node. If you still suggest using something like pg_bouncer to do that failover, could you please provide sample configuration for it, cause so far I have not seen pg_bouncer having such possibility to proxy connections to R/W node. Since there has been bigger changes, then I am not so sure if new patch contains all the required changes as I still do not have build environment set up to compile zabbix_server and zabbix_proxy. If more load-balancing from DB is wanted, then going further it would be nice to configure read-only db config (by default being same as rw config) and having queries tagged as read-only or queries that modify data and then directing read-only queries towards config for read only and queries that modify data only towards RW config. That way it would be possible to spread the queries across DB cluster. At least talking from Postgres point of view when hot_standby is used, but I am sure similar setup is possible with MariaDB and Oracle. |

I'd very much like to see this feature in. I haven't tested the patches, but it seems to me that stripping one of the if statements of parentheses would make the translation unit incorrect. |
Comment by Antti Hurme [ 2023 Jul 21 ] |
This could also be a good addition if you use pg_auto_failover. Would like to see this as an way to make Zabbix truly HA with the great inbuild server HA + PostgreSQL HA with something modern. "Implementing client-side High Availability is included in PostgreSQL’s driver libpq from version 10 onward. Using this driver, it is possible to specify multiple host names or IP addresses in the same connection string." |
Comment by Piotr Paweł Stefaniak [ 2023 Sep 05 ] |
I was in the process of writing a patch to implement this for 7.x, but it appears that there's a work-around good enough for me and perhaps others that doesn't involve patching the sources. What I needed from my WIP patch was a couple of things:
It had already been possible to set multiple hosts in the DBHost field and it worked with Postgres as intended, but not multiple ports which I needed. The problem was that DBPort is converted to an integer and stored in a variable common to all database connection code, so I had a dilemma how to implement what I wanted but at the same time keep everybody else happy. Someone over in the IRC channel asked whether pgservices could work and I thought that it's a nice idea, but there's a similar one, but simpler: environment variables PGPORT and PGTARGETSESSIONATTRS. This may be surprising, but it appears to work, zabbix-server doesn't do anything about it and libpq handles them as designed. You'd think for consistency I should also set PGHOST or PGHOSTADDR, but if you don't set it in the zabbix-server config, it's going to default to localhost, which in my case beats the purpose of everything else mentioned here. I think ideally zabbix-server should cease trying to parse and handle all possible connection parameters for all database engines that it supports and instead expose a single configuration setting for the user to provide the connection URI. |
Comment by vl1987 [ 2023 Sep 21 ] |
In fact, it is strange that there is still no such possibility. It would be great if such an option appears |
Comment by Kris Avi [ 2024 Feb 20 ] |
Thanks @pstef I opted to use environment variable PGTARGETSESSIONATTRS to solve my problem. In configuration added multiple DB hosts. My setup was easier since used default port, but different hosts. Made similar change in PHP FPM config to pass same environment variable to web interface as well. Been using that method for couple of months in production, so far on switchover, there is minor hiccup as zabbix detects that connections should be recreated on DB switchover, but so far system has been able to behave normally. This method works only because they are not setting it to some value. My patch itself would set some default value, but at the same time give you option to set it in config. Potentially could have added multiple ports option in ports field too, but it was more complicated than to add connectionstring field. I don't bother updating my patches for it any more, big portion of work is already done in there and it is up to Zabbix guys to either use it and merge it to upstream or not. I agree with you, they should just give the option to enter one connection string field and not bother with parsing and handling them all. But for sake of backwards compatibility probably those fields should stay. However still could add connection string field and if it is entered, then not try to parse rest of DB config parameters and trust that user configuring already knows what they are doing. Not all of the users will need such option, but some might. When writing my patch I kept in mind that old way should still work, it should include config file descriptions to my best knowledge and should not break something on other DB engines, but in the end it is zabbix dev team choice to use that patch or not. So far it seems this ticket has not gotten any of their attention and will be among other unsolved bug reports. Yes there are more parameters you could set and parsing them all could be too much, but most commonly used ones are sslmode and target_session_attrs, that is why potentially those should be in config while rest could come from environment variables.
Still there could be improvements made in backend and to make zabbix server and web aware of query types and if they are read-only queries or need to modify data. If it is read-only query, then it could be loadbalanced using prefer-standby for those queries and direct write queries to read-write node. It of course brings danger of reading stale data, but that is more on DBA to handle on cluster side. |

Single tag:value match on event close by trigger correlation is not enough. Could make list of tags to match values. When monitoring logs files multiple event generation is used with multiple tags filled as properties of cathed event. Global correlation allows to work with multiple tag matching, but trigger correlation only with single one. Problem with global correlation is that it can close previous or last. But it happens that we receive log entry which should resolve problem event with same tag value list. |

That would mean changing the "protocol" or standard reply from a trapper. There is no description field unfortunately. Changing that would probably break a lot of parsers. Besides, as sasha mentioned, sender can be used to send to multiple hosts where some might have encryption enabled and some - not. Looks like a change request in any case. |

Comment by Jerry Pringle [ 2023 Oct 03 ] |
I am also seeing a similar thing on Zabbix 6.4.6 with multiple services (21 alerts on the last reboot of one server) on several different Windows servers (mostly Windows Server 2022). I am using "Windows by Zabbix agent active" template.
Would it make sense for there to be a macro {$SERVICE.DELAYED_START_TIMEOUT} or similar which could be used to specify how long to wait before alerting on delayed start services? We have some which can take several minutes to start as there are many dependancies. If this could be over-ridden per server (per service?) it would be helpful. |
Comment by KB Jørgensen [ 2023 Oct 04 ] |
I think it should rather be defined by the actual delay. That seems to be set by the AutoStartDelay registry setting. First as a system-wide default and then potentially overridden for each service. |

I noticed when I ran ps aux, the list of zabbix_agentd processes are running as zabbix when it should be snetzabbix since that user is able to access the RDS Instance on AWS. But I can't change it after trying many steps that I tried over the web. Tried chowning the file to the specified user, configured the zabbix agent config file to use snetzabbix. However, it did not work. Trying to get some ideas here on what I can do to resolve this issue. |

I have the same issue when monitoring MT4 log with zabbix 5.0 LTS (I have CentOS 6 server so can not use zabbix 6.0), I found that the mechanism for writing MT4 log file is quite special, the MT4 log file is written continuously so the mtime of log file always changes, however the size of log file does not change. So it always have this log when I checked zabbix_agentd.log: ``30931:20230707:155822.971 the modification time of log file "/window/MetaTrader4Server/logs/20230707.log" has been updated without changing its size, try checking again later This make zabbix re-read MT4 log file repeatedly and make noise for my team. I've tried this option in logrt[] function: ``mtime-noreread - non-unique records, reread only if the size changes (ignore modification time change).`` But when log file is written continuously, zabbix does not show anything because the file size does not change. Any one knows how to prevent zabbix re-reading log file, please help me!!!!! Thanks so much!!! |

Good afternoon! I would like to see a more explicit indication of the availability of the active agent. When there are many hosts with active agents, it is very inconvenient to point at each one and see the result. It would be cool to have a clear indication of the availability of the active agent on the hosts panel in the form of a green border on the icon

Host Discovery, Auto Registration, Host Prototypes |
Description |
Zabbix currently has three different mechanisms to automatically create host objects: Discovery with Discovery Action, Autoregistration Actions and LLD Host Prototypes. Each of these is a powerful, useful mechanism on its own. Together they are are confusing inconsistent mess. For example: LLD creates Hosts with Host Prototypes, allowing you to use Preprocessing and Macros to exactly define the created host. Discovery and Autoregistration are limited to actions with a limited set of possible operations and no preprocessing. On the other hand, Discovery and Autoregistration create fully customizable host objects, while hosts generated from prototypes are weirdly crippled with a lot of attributes that are readonly (there has been improvement recently there, but e.g. host groups still cannot be added). Even worse, all dependent hosts will vanish when the master host is deleted, which means for example by deleting the vCenter-Host you can wipe out all of your compute monitoring history with two mouse clicks! So I propose to unify these three mechanisms in a useful and consistent manner: 1) No more dependant hosts and readonly attributes - what use are they anyway? Make host prototypes generate fully editable hosts. 2) Change Discovery and Autoregistration from Actions to a LLD-Style interface with host prototypes and Preprocessing. This would allow much better initial customization of discovered hosts. 3) Make them work together: Whenever a host is found by multiple discovery methods, just let them add their stuff together:
4) Adopt the LLD "yellow exclamation mark" method for deleting hosts that are no longer discovered by ANY discovery method. Add a button to switch such a host to "manually created" to protect them from expiration. I believe these changes would make host discovery much more powerful and understandable at the same time.

In Zabbix 6.0.X we have implemented Its cool feature. The problem is, when you work with multiple browser windows (because you are keeping watch over multiple things at once) or when you pass the page link to somebody else (who have their own view opened to something different), the page does not display what the form filtering suggests, as it keeps the “saved” filters underneath that you cannot sometimes see or modify, without using the form “Reset” button. With a lot of open tabs, and even for some of our users, this behavior is counter-intuitive and a little annoying to handle. Maybe having this option configurable would be useful… |

There are many people with some form of color blindness. The current monochromatic (single hue) option in the SvgGraph makes it difficult to distinguish different items in a dataset. An option should be added to allow to switch to polychromatic so that each adjacent item in the graph contrasts against one another. Polychromatic is the default when you graph items from the latest data page, and I think there should at least be the option to do this in the SvgGraph widget. |

For discovery and autoregistration events, there are operations: add / remove host https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/en/manual/config/notifications/action/operation This way, we can easily use Zabbix geomaps with private subnets. Also inventory can be filled with information directly send in autoregistration proces (no need for items on host = no vaste in history tables + free some machine resources needed for items). Example, if we use the addresses 192.168.10.x for one location and 192.168.20.x for the other, we can set the corresponding coordinates in the inventory for both locations by discovery rules, using the option above (no external services used, no need for additional item and its scripts). |

If I am not mistaken, then the only way to create an item which is based on the outcome of an script being executed on a host is via "SSH Agent" item types. Since Zabbix server is already able to execute arbitrary code on a host via a Zabbix agent, it would be great if "Zabbix agent" items would also allow the execution of scripts, then Zabbix users would not need to setup an additional SSH access for this. |

Description |
If I am not mistaken, then the "exit status" of execute scripts via the "SSH agent" is not available as item value. At least, I could not find any documentation about it. As new Zabbix user, I was very confused that I had to configure an "executed script" item to have textual value, and then later configure a trigger that basically searches the output for a certain string (e.g., find(/Systemd via SSH/ssh.run[check-systemd-units-via-ssh,"\{HOST.CONN}","\{$SSH_PORT}",utf8],,,"failed")=1). What I would have expected is that I can configure a script, that returns '0' if everything is alright, and that returns a non-zero exit status if something is wrong. Then I could simply configure a trigger based on a non-zero exit status of the executed script.
Hence, what I ask here as feature request is:
Especially 2. would be very nice to have, as the integer value of the exit status is not able to store much contextual information. Ideally, if the trigger fires, the Zabbix users would be additional presented with the textual output of the script, to get a clear, or, at least, better picture of what went wrong. |

I ran into this need today when one of our HA nodes crashed. Since we run web and server on the same node the when the load balancer routed to the failed node the web interface stated that server was down, even though one of the HA nodes was up and active.
With that said, the "work around" is to make sure the web config settings ZBX_SERVER_HOST, and ZBX_SERVER_PORT are blank. Then whatever web server your load balancer routes traffic to will then connect to the correct active server.
It would be much nicer to have more control because in this case we're basically load balancing twice. Since we're using a load balancer and not using some kind of failover technology. |

Next - timeleft function usage - is completely redundant, which could overload the system in case of thousands of hosts monitoring. Prediction is an additional function, which should not be included by default |

Use case example (one of many): You have 2 node patroni cluster in Amazon, Load Balancer (for some reason patroni API status was ignored by LB itself) failed to switchover and Server generates tons of logs with read only error, because LB points to read-only database. Technically connection is not lost and administrator will not receive "database down message". Or accidentally DBA changed with Read Only permissions account for Zabbix Server. This will help avoid situation with no events/problems from Zabbix and not working Zabbix. |

Hello ,
We are facing a complicated issue.
we use a lot LLD process, but one thing witch is missing is the possibility to update, somehow , a trigger to perosnnlyse what is discoverd .
in our configuration , we usually personnalize the Trigger name with a code , to define the incident workflow. With LLD process it is not possible , as it is update after each discovery .
It will be really usefull , if we could at least , personnalise the trigger description field, without beeing update on each discovery .
As it is in a trigger description in a traditionnal template ( without LLD)
Is there a way to do that somehow in the current version ? I think you got the idea , but it can more describe if needed
actually all items/triggers LLD discovery can't be diffrentiated and it reduce consiquantly the action field , ( with the API it will allow many diffretn workflow with that functionnality )
thanks in advance for your response , regards
Thierry

Currently we discover objects by some discovery for example filesystem discovery on agent and bring all data in JSON format for filtering and processing on server. So would be great to extend syntax of discovery key for including or excluding some objects, for example with types, probably with names it brings a lot of issues etc.
vfs.fs.discovery[include,"ext3,ext4"]
or
vfs.fs.discovery[exclude, tmpfs]
The same for other default discovery keys. |

Description |
Shortly: Zabbix is lacking two very important things: any organizer like - group+ devices orientated tree and the table presentation for any data (devices, latest data etc.). I would suggest the improve Zabbix frontend and probably to do something about fake alerting for the devices based on groups hierarchy. If we try to compare Zabbix frontend with another monitoring systems we can see that Zabbix does not have any organizers. For instance, we have about 1000-2000 devices segregated by groups like ou can se below, due to needs of hierarchy and inheritance for creating the tickets according to groups for different teams: ABC/ ABC/ etc. + + All devices have the unique name like RTR-HOP-MKT-1.GHS-DDN-DTJ with unique suffix, which is related to the Node an Site. If we need to find any group or any device, we have to search by suffixes and go through the list of showing devices and trying to find needed device. If we do not have any external list of groups (suffixes) we need to search for all groups and go Especially huge list of groups or devises. This is not visual and hard to find any device or group. Especially, if you are at first time in Zabbix and do not have any external documentations and scheme. Moreover, the general main search does not work for the Maps and you would need to go in the Maps and search them separately. If we named any group or device wrong it would be very hard to find it after. it can be solved by the tree of groups and showing the devices in this tree for navigation with the list of devices in the table. The table representation any data in Zabbix is not possible either. It can be solved partially by Latest Data, but this functionality was removed in the Zabbix 5.4 too. Zabbix partially has something like this in the hierarchic maps. Unfortunately, you would need to build all your maps an keep them updated and organised. Another issue in our case is, at the end of ray of a star we have Enterprise client maps and all alerts from this maps (groups) should be shown for another team, but at the same time we need these maps for keeping the devices organized. In this case we are building two maps trees, and put on the map the Image instead of the map and put the url for the Enterprise maps, which is some extra work. We can see the prototype of tree + table representation in some of monitoring systems like Zenoss or Ubiquity UISP. On the screenshots you can see the representation of the infrastructure in Zenoss, where we used the locations like groups in Zabbix and the data representation for WiFi AP + clients SU (in the same way we can see file systems, interfaces etc.) |

Description |
We currently have about 6K hosts (and expect to have noticeably more in the future), and a config size of around 1.5GB. The problem is that this configuration takes over 2 minutes load, and while it does it places a significant strain on the database, to the point where we are getting alerts every time the configuration is loaded. This is compounded by the fact that almost all our hosts are virtual hosts on the cloud, and hence we have a fairly high churn of hosts being added and disabled/removed - each time a host comes up or goes down we create/update/delete the relevant host entry in zabbix and trigger a configuration reload (CacheUpdateFrequency is set to 1h, since we almost always explicitly trigger configuration reloads). Besides the database load, the fact that it takes 2 or 3 minutes to reload the config means that it's not uncommon to get alerts when hosts are going down, since the hosts will have terminated by the time the configuration is finally reloaded (though we've been able to mitigate this somewhat, but if things continue to grow and we see 5 or more minutes to reload the configuration this will become more of an issue again). Now, the interesting thing about the above is that in the vast majority of cases when the configuration is reloaded only a small fraction of the config has actually changed - typically just one or at most a handful of hosts. This leads to the idea that it would be great if zabbix could only reload that part that changed. One idea (and I'm sure you have others and better ones) is simple: track the list of changed hosts (including templates), i.e. any time a configuration change is made create an entry in a change table specifying which host(s) got affected; then when reloading the configuration, only reload the data for those hosts (and clear the change table). In the case of templates, you'd need to also walk up the template-links to find the upstream templates and hosts that are affected in order to get the full list of hosts/templates to reload. One nice side-effect of something like the above would be that one could probably get rid of CacheUpdateFrequency and just check for changes every minute or even more often, since if the change-list is empty there would be nothing to do. |

The documentation mentions to only collect a certain set of attributes for performance reasons like for ex the Garbage Collector when doing LLD for JMX. But if you want to create another rule to gather for ex Memory then i can make sense to add an item key like in the discovery item for the garbage collector This will fail as zabbix will complain about the duplicate key I think this should be allowed in LLD item prototypes as on the host items with different names will be created. |

If a inotify event appears the item(s) should be fetched and delivered.

It would be great to allow some kind of "manual" LLD discovery item, allowing to enter a JSON-formatted object in the WebUI. This could have multiple use-cases :
With a "manual" LLD discovery, you would create a template, declare many item prototypes and link it to the host. Then, in the "manual" LLD discovery item, you would set following value in an editable field, for example : { "data":[ { "{#DBINSTANCENAME}":"Prod", "{#DBINSTANCEPORT}":"30001" }, { "{#DBINSTANCENAME}":"Dev", "{#DBINSTANCEPORT}":"30002" }, { "{#DBINSTANCENAME}":"Test", "{#DBINSTANCEPORT}":"30003" } ] } |

You can use zabbix-sender. Is it a good option for you? |
Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2017 Oct 23 ] |
I second that. You can create lld rule based on trapper item and send the described lld data with zabbix_sender. It might not be as nice as being able to do it from frontend, but still it should be viable workaround. |
Comment by Tatapoum [ 2017 Oct 23 ] |
I known I can use zabbix_sender and a trapper item. But why making this complicated when it can be simple ? I would be an easy workaround for the lack of parameterized-templates. How can we deal with multiple instances of the same app on a server at the moment ? |

Actually, for controlling the zabbix server at run-time, zabbix use a signal subsystem that is linux specific (for example you can't control zabbix at runtime on other operating systems).
My idea is to have a separated utility (named like "zabbixctl"), that take care of the communication with the server and whatnot and report to the user if required (numbers, if the operation was successful etc). |
Comments |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Sep 01 ] |
Voted. The only thing I don't like is a separate utility. It needs to be installed separately (which may be an issue in some environments) and it's kinda weird to have Zabbix but not have control over it. How is zabbixctl different from zabbix_<something> -R? |
Comment by Andrea Biscuola (Inactive) [ 2017 Sep 01 ] |
glebs.ivanovskis We already install the zabbix_get, zabbix_sender utilities. Out of the name (just preferences) that in this case is just an example, keeping the utility code separated is more a matter of keeping the server code clean and making it easier to do something like: zabbix_<whatever> log verbose or zabbix_<whatever> show stats Without adding the code to the (already) big codebase of the server. It's more semantic separation than anything else. But any approach will do the job anyway |
Comment by Евланов Александр Викторович [ 2018 Jan 29 ] |
I think it will be reasonable to use some platform-independent MQ to send commands to zabbix components. For example, ZMQ is very small library that can be compiled in each unix and on Windows as well. So we need to simply create 1 queue for every zabbix component running on the server: for example. we can send proxy control commands to zabbix-proxy-NNN queue (where NNN is a unique instance id in the system) and agent control commands - to the zabbix-agent-YYY queue. Instance id can be stored in any place defined by the service configuraton file (zabbix_[proxy,server,agentd].conf). |

What do you mean by "high-frequency" monitoring? 100 times/second? 1000 times/second? More? |
Comment by Evgenii Terechkov [ 2019 Jun 03 ] |
Nope, I think about 0.1 - 1 time/second monitoring of free space/inodes for autodiscovered FS, with values throttling offloaded to agents.
As example, 5 mountpoints/FS and 1 time/second monitoring of 2 items gives total 10 nvps per host, multiple it by number of hosts. Preprocessing/throttling on agents will make this case easier for transient zabbix proxy and main zabbix server. |

Allow "Manual close" option is greyed out if triggers are creating automatically from trigger prototype and from default template. Tested with windows default OS template. the services are discovered automatically by the default template and trigger prototypes are created automatically. But unable to check the option "manual close the trigger" in such cases.
if we manually create a new tigger prototype or new trigger, there is no such problem and able to check "allow manual close"
seems like its a bug. Please check. |

Hi, All trigger fields, except "Enabled", based on trigger prototypes cannot be changed. It can be changed on trigger prototype level. After next discovery iteration all changes from trigger prototype will be transferred to the trigger level. Same situation with triggers, based on templates. |

But I am not able to change that even in trigger prototype level. There are also it is grayed out.

We are planning to migrate our current monitoring tool to zabbix but one major blocker is that Zabbix does not play well with wildcards using vfs.files.exists. A large number of our systems generate application logs where our current tool would monitor and report if found. It is actually a simple "search for anything .log or error-.log in path /this/path/to/logfile", which does not appear to work with Zabbix vfs.files.exists item. |

Hello Hector, Thank you for reporting the issue. You can use custom LLD rules to discover all files and add them to the monitoring.

Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2019 Feb 19 ] |
If you don't need to dive into contents of these files, you can use vfs.dir.count[]. I think it should be sufficient for this use case. |

Comment by Aleksandrs Petrovs-Gavrilovs [ 2022 May 10 ] |
Instead of having a vfs.file.exists for each one, perhaps an item like vfs.files.exists to combine this into one item check such as: vfs.files.exists[/path1/to/some.log, /path1/to/another.log, /path2/to/more.log, /path3/to/another2.log] Regardless of whether the list of filenames is a single string parameter (“name1,name2”) or the item just accepts multiple parameters with each as a separate file, it would help reduce the chances of an external script timing out. |

Description |
With new features (LLD preprocessing, custom scripts) preprocessing might become a bottleneck. Currently it can push ~160k small values/sec on i7-7700 cpu. With preprocessing values becoming larger (especially in LLD case) and steps more complex (scripts) the performance drops and might not be enough. There are two options - rework preprocessing to use worker threads instead of processes. The data exchange load will be significantly reduced, especially with large data. Another option is brute force approach - use multiple preprocessing managers each having own worker process set, split items between managers by itemid.
Threaded workers using sockets The worker processes were replaced with threads. The old communication protocol (sockets) was used, but instead of sending data only references to the data objects were sent. It could be optimized further, but still gives a rough estimate. Threaded workers using queues In this test the manager-worker communication was changed to simple mutex protected queues.
Or in worst case we can merge both options.

Network traffic compression was advertised to provide 5 times improvement in required bandwidth with "no impact on CPU or memory usage". Why can't it be used for sending LLD data to preprocessing workers? Complexity of preprocessing steps shouldn't be the issue since it only affects preprocessing workers and you can have as many of them as you like. wiper: I would say - no noticeable impact on CPU usage. But that's with large data. With smaller data packets it might have negative result. Currently we are limited by preprocessing manager performance, so we are looking either how to reduce or share it. I did test pure preprocessing performance, without pushing data into history cache. With contested history cache the results would be even worse. On the other hand if the compression is done in data gathering processes (is that what you were thinking?), then preprocessing manager has only to cache/forward the compressed data - so that should help with performance when large data (LLD) is processed. cyclone Honestly speaking, I wasn't thinking that far. But it sounds like a sensible approach to offload the preprocessing manager. And of course you are not obliged to compress all, small data can go uncompressed. It is a matter of protocol design to allow both types of messages. Since the protocol isn't for public use you are free to design it the way you like it. As far as I recall, one and the only preprocessing manager was needed to keep the guarantee that the data which came first will be processed by triggers and actions first regardless of preprocessing steps it has to go through. wiper: yes, but that guarantee is lost in history cache. cyclone Well, I meant for items in one group of interdependent triggers... Isn't this guarantee still true if we neglect the fact that internal item processing is prioritized? |
Comment by Evren Yurtesen [ 2020 Nov 09 ] |
Is there a reason why preprocessing can't be moved to zabbix-agent side? this way the load can be distributed. Also with options like threshold/discard, the final transmitted data amount can be considerably smaller. |

Description |
While working with the Monitoring->Problems view, I really wish, we could exclude stuff we don’t want to see right now. There are alreday many filter built in, but they only work in AND mode and since 4.0 in OR mode if I recall correctly. But we don’t have the possibility to exclude certain information. For example: Sometimes I have so many active “Low disk space HDD events” that it’s hard to spot other important issues. In those moments I would like to set the Problem Name filter to NOT show any event with “Low disk” in its name. |

Description |
Guest user should not be able to modify anything except explicitly set permissions. I would say that guest user should not be "each user". It is normal behaviour in all systems that guest account is used for readonly non-destructive access to the system. There should be probably next permission to check/uncheck if given user can add anything or not. And in default setup, guest user should not have these permissions. In other words, guest user should not have ability to modify/add/remove anything in system except data in its own session unles it is explicitly granted by admin for guest user.

Ah, I see, I'd suggest to list here all the things you think should not be possible for the guest user to do. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Oct 08 ] |
Sure, the reason of closing Additionally to the original request I want to make sure the behavior is not broken for the current read-only users. In a typical NOC the 24/7 monitoring guys are allowed to see all the hosts, AND it is vitally important for them to do ackowledge problems. In the meantime the Zabbix Super Admins don't want them to ever be able to fiddle with the host or template configs for that matter. Please think about this well and don't just remove this ability for current read-only users. My proposal would be that there is a real read-only user as suggested by Lucas, and then a "read-only with extras" like currently (ability to ack, create screens etc.). |

Debian 9 Stretch amd64 |
Description |
Due to the new possibilites Microsoft offers the Linux community, I installed Microsoft PowerShell and Vmware PowerCLI on Debian. I want Zabbix Proxy to query VMware vCenter via External check. I created a ps1 script which accepts several copmmand line arguments. Zabbix wraps each argument in quotation marks, but PowerShell can't interpret arguments in quotation marks.
Steps to reproduce:
Result: zabbix_proxy.log:
13741:20180809:094425.082 In get_value() key:'vmware.vm.snapshot.count.ps1[-Server {HOST.CONN},-User {$USERNAME},-Password '{$PASSWORD}',-VM {#VM.NAME}]' 13741:20180809:094425.082 In get_value_external() key:'vmware.vm.snapshot.count.ps1[-Server 10.23.0.200,-User [email protected],-Password 'XXX',-VM server.domain.local]' 13741:20180809:094425.083 In zbx_popen() command:'/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/vmware.vm.snapshot.count.ps1 "-Server 10.23.0.200" "-User [email protected]" "-Password 'XXX'" "-VM server.domain.local"'
Zabbix puts quotation marks around any argument: vmware.vm.snapshot.count.ps1 "-Server 10.23.0.200" "-User [email protected]" "-Password 'XXX'" "-VM server.domain.local"' These arguments won't get parsed in the script.
Expected: The String should be created as following: vmware.vm.snapshot.count.ps1 -Server 10.23.0.200 -User [email protected] -Password 'XXX' -VM server.domain.local I need Zabbix to let the Admin choose, if the arguments are put in quotation marks or not.
I solved it, by calling a Linux Bash Script first, which accepts five arguments and parses the arguments to the powershell script without quotation marks:
/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/vmware.ps.wrapper.sh:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/pwsh -File /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/$1 -Server $2 -User $3 -Password $4 -VM $5

Comment by Edgar Akhmetshin [ 2018 Aug 10 ] |
Hello, Marco Thank you for contacting Zabbix. Beginning with version 2.0.0, quotation marks are used for all arguments of the external checks. You can process arguments with quotes using the capabilities of a powershell script. Looks like a ZBXNEXT request. Please note that ZBX is a Bug Tracker, no indication of a bug here. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2018 Sep 27 ] |
Thank you very much, for moving my Request into the right Tracker! – "You can process arguments with quotes using the capabilities of a powershell script." I'm a PowerShell beginner, as far as I found out, arguments in quotes won't get parsed into the script, but if I'm wrong I would gladly correct myself. The Bash Wrapper script to strip the quotation marks down is overhead, but works very well! |

Description |
Previously, the selected time period was displayed in the graph title. This is lost now in pre-4.0. Showing it in the graph itself was highly useful, as we tend to attach graphs to incidents or provide them to other people for different purposes.
For example long time ago there was very similar case |

It was removed in scope of
I think, this inconsistency was the reason, the period was removed. Also, if we will display period on old graph title (or somewhere else), we might also think about adding it to Classic graph widgets and New Graph widgets. Widget title can be used for this, but maybe some better place can be found. |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Oct 31 ] |
We're seeing this issue every now and then. Graphs are attached to tickets or shared otherwise, and it is very hard to operate on data coming from Zabbix now - graphs for different time periods are being mixed up and cause confusion when investigating outages. |
Comment by richlv [ 2019 Jan 24 ] |
Thank you for sharing some of the considerations. While the period might not look as exact, it is hardly a bigger problem than not having the period at all. Even in the worst cases like "6d 23h 59m" the user can quickly figure out that it's somewhere around 6 or 7 days. Without the period shown user is disappointed. Now let's look at the graphs before this feature disappeared. If one uses the time period scrollbar or drag-zoom (very common), they would still get such a period shown. Testing that just now with Zabbix 2.4, I see a period of "6d 13h 52m". It does not seem to cause any major problems, and does not seem to have caused any major problems for many years. If there was a major reason why this is a problem, adding rounding based on the length of the time period would have been much more preferred over dropping a feature. |

Description |
Value cache is another place that could take advantage of read/write locks. Currently value retrieval process looks like:
With read/write locks it would be something like:
On server startup it would result in some overhead because for all items there would be extra value cache unlock/lock. But after caching all required values data retrieval from value cache would require only single read lock. Additional read->write lock 'upgrades' would happen when item changes value type, but that's rare occurrence. However the main problem is that each read function alsot update some item properties to track the cached values, produce statistics:
In theory we could use atomics to store those properties. However that's quite serious design decision that should be carefully investigated. |

As Keycloak is the upstream OSS project for Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO), is it supposed to work with RH-SSO too? |
Comment by Jan Garaj [ 2018 Jul 17 ] |
Keycloak supports SAML and OIDC clients. This implementation seems to implement only OIDC, so I guess the auth name "KEYCLOAK" is not the best one. The better name is "OpenID Connect". Keycloak is Certified OpenID Provider Server, so this implementation should be able to work with any OIDC server/service: Identity Server, Google, ... (actually, some minor hacks will be required for some IdPs). This feature is about authentification only, but client scope is about authorisation. It will be awesome to have also authorisation, but I would like to see role-based authorisation. Roles can be a part of the access token, and they can be used for authorisation. |

So I created a 'Template JMX Wildfly domain' attached to my own domain Zabbix host.It contains a discovery rule for all host-connections (jmx.discovery[beans,"jboss.as:core-service=management,host-connection=*"]), with an host prototype using '{#JMXHOST_CONNECTION}' as hostname. I linked 'Template JMX Wildlfy host' template on host prototype that it contains a discovery rule to find all deployments (jmx.discovery[beans,"jboss.as.expr:deployment=*"]) and I expected to find new hosts prototype, but it fails and I cannot see error (also increase debug level). I suppose you cannot add an hosts prototype based on a discovery rule running on another host prototype. In fact in Zabbix UI, in 'configuration' > 'hosts' > 'HOSTID' > 'discovery rules' I cannot see 'Hosts Prototype' column that you can see clicking to another hosts (not prototype). I cannot find any issues related to this one (or maybe I cannot search so well), so thanks for support! |

I confirm that skipping first point and adding manually zabbix host representing hosts connected, points 3 and 4 work as well. So I'd like to ask you, why cannot i link a template containing discovered hosts on an existing host prototype? |

Inspired by Currently the only way to extract something from web page contents in web scenario is a regex variable like:
4.0 will bring a new HTTP Agent item type ( Since HTTP Agent will not support multiple steps and does not provide performance metrics, I think it would be a good idea to introduce preprocessing into web scenario variables. XPath, JSON Path and regular expressions with "output" parameters will be very useful there. |

I have same problem with Zabbix Server 4.2.3 and AD in Windows 2016. I've tried many times with all recommended parameters but no luck. Connection test from PHP script works. |
Comment by Dave Johnson [ 2022 Mar 09 ] |
At a small risk that I am missing something here, as I am really brand new to zabbix, so I apologize upfront if I stir the pot. Still, I reckon that this is probably the right thing to do as Microsoft has shifted to requiring using channel signing to attach to ldap now (using certificates). I felt the need to interject as I had to go through and generate some certs for linux machines (via sssd) and some apps (including postgres) to use ldaps and have the cert with private key authenticate into our AD. This is the method we use for querying AD when you are not joined in the domain. The certs need to be setup in AD to allow secure LDAP / AD access to the records in AD. Here are some additional notes on Microsoft getting people to migrate towards ldaps for years: In Aug 2019, Microsoft released "Microsoft Guidance for Enabling LDAP Channel Binding and LDAP Signing": That post includes the following link: Some documentation I refered to that helped me create the certs and perm them in AD: I saw this recent post, which may help too (I didn't use this, looks to be more for AD "auth use"): == Now with the above said, can Zabbix: a) authenticate against ldap with a certificate? (more universal and probably recommended) Again there is a small possibility I have this wrong as I am new to zabbix, but from what I read here and currently understand, zabbix "should" have a proper way of authenticating into AD using a cert, right? |

Description |
Good night dear. I recently encountered a problem regarding permissioning on maps, I have some maps, which are specific hosts and triggers for a group, to which only users who have the appropriate permissions in this group should have access to "list and view the maps", but that is not quite what is happening. If the user is of type "user zabbix" such maps are not listed nor displayed. I noticed that if the map contains only "host, trigger, group, map" elements, the permission applied to the user works perfectly and it is not able to list or view the maps. And if the map contains at least 1 element of type "image", the user is able to list and view the map in the way I described above, it seems to me that this is not correct. I faced this problem in version 3.4.6, and tried an upgrade to version 3.4.8 and the problem persists. Is it a permission setting, or a bug? In short: if any map that contains some element of type "image", any user of type "administrator zabbix" is able to list and see, if I remove all elements of the "image" type of maps, permission works perfectly. |

Comment by Diego Cavalcante [ 2018 May 23 ] |
The way it is, I only see 2 exits: 1º Do not use elements of type "image" in the maps. Well, the permissions are respected. I have to choose between the 2. |
Comment by João Edson [ 2018 May 23 ] |
Step by the same problem as Diego and I do not see exit since if not leave some users as admin they no longer have access to some elements |

Comment by Dirk Bongard [ 2019 Aug 10 ] |
I wonder about this authorization concept. When I look at this list of references, I can not believe that large companies agree with this mess, or have spent a lot of money on work arounds. Example: We have several 24/7 data centers. Some have their own site administrators. To be able to administer their own hosts, they need to be Zabbix Adminstrator. This gives them all rights to maps again. The same issue is with Discovery. I am not able to give a DBA for a single host the rights for scheduled downtime without giving it the right Zabbix Adminstrator. By the wording, it is true that an administrator should see everything, but an application admin should be able to set up maintenance or add a template to his host. That's why many of us are Zabbix administrators and have in this case too many rights.

Description |
You can implement an option to manually configure each trigger when it is not supported, in many cases, we use the nodata function to check if a bank instance is ok or not, when the instance drops the item gets error and has to wait for the zabbix global retraction time, when you need to leave this value high, the item in this example even after being solved very fast will have to wait zabbix global temple for rechecation, I think it would be very interesting to put an individual option in cad aitem for rechecagem if it is not supported. |

Description |
There is a special category of triggers where recovery notifications don't make any sense. Examples are one-time events like "/etc/passwd has changed", "zabbix agent version changed" or "Host {HOSTNAME} rebooted". You simply don't want an OK notification that tells you that the host did not reboot anymore since the last check. Now that zabbix already features trigger tags since 3.2, adding an optional filter condition to recovery and acknowledgement operations would solve the problem: A tag like T_NO_RECOVERY could be added to the corresponding triggers and the recovery operation of the actions could be configured with a condition like Tag <> T_NO_RECOVERY. This feature request is a more specific version of ZBXNEXT-582, since trigger tags are already implemented now but a filter condition in the recovery operation is still missing. |

Hi! Roman, what do you expect Zabbix to expose using SNMP? Its own internal metrics or problems/metrics it collects? Or do you want it to notify on problems using snmptraps? It would be nice if you guys describe your business case in more detail, since they may differ.
This feature is not in the shortlist for the next release(4.2). In the meantime, I suggest you place your votes here using 'vote' button. You may also contact [email protected] if you have really high demand on this feature. Thank you! |

Hi In our company we have the same problem. AIX 6.1 version zabbix agent 4.2.6.
$ OBJECT_MODE=64 ; export OBJECT_MODE
$ CFLAGS="-maix64 -g -O2" ./configure --enable-agent
$ make install
I got an error like Becker described. But I checked if a binary was created in the src directory in directory zabbix-4.2.6. Surprise was in this directory. Next i did ./zabbix_agent -V and got a response. I create zabbix_agent.conf and run this agent. It work Agent Zabbix send value to Zabbix Server. |

Description |
To manage hosts and templates it was very very useful in pre 4.0 versions: This functions in the frontend are very important because assigning of hosts/groups/templates is very easy, fast and save. I'm working with many hosts/groups and templates and for me it is a no go for upgrading to version 4.x for production. Unfortunately you closed the issue |

Comment by Tony den Haan [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
For me this is a showstopper. Maintaining takes many times longer without these. |
Comment by Valdis Murzins [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Functionality to add multiple hosts to host group (also applies to templates) is still present in form of mass update of hosts (in scope of Also I should add that having such list of all hosts in Host group page on huge installation will introduce performance issues (it was one, if not the main, reason why this selection was removed from there in first place). You are saying, maintaining hosts and/or templates takes longer. But I don't see, why is should be so, if you are using mass update. Can you, please, explain your use cases? |
Comment by Olli Ihamäki [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Yes, you can add new template to hosts with mass update, but you can't remove hosts from template with mass update. This used to be trivial, click, scroll down, shift-click and click > arrow. |
Comment by Valdis Murzins [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
It is possible to remove one or multiple host groups from selected hosts via mass update. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Olli, I just hope you know that by that "removal" sequence you just unlinked the template from the host, leaving the actual items "orphaned" on the host level. It was a cool feature if you know it but at the same time could leave a huge mess on the host level. Valdi, Mass update can't nicely unlink (and clear) a single template. And one more use case - you could create a new template and immediately add it (yet empty with no items) to selected hosts. Now you have to go through all the mass update hassle to do it. Additionally you can't even see what hosts are linked to a template from Configuration -> Templates -> Opened template view. |
Comment by richlv [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Valdi, thank you for mentioning this functionality - it is indeed working as expected. For example, a very simple and fairly common scenario: 1. Take a look at some host. The usual workaround would be to copy the template name, go to Configuration -> Templates, expand the filter, paste the template name, click Filter. The usability regression there is also mind-boggling. Every extra click is a big burden for repeat operations, and here we have not only many extra clicks, but also the need to memorise this sequence - infrequent Zabbix users will give up instead (empirically tested). Of course, fixing the interlinking would not help with the template downstream entity listing being pretty much unusable beyond a dozen of entries. Update: |
Comment by Olli Ihamäki [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Ingus, I was not aware of that. That is/was crazy bad design! However, problem persists: there is no easy way to unlink "and clear" template from chosen subset of hosts. I think that template added to host ++group does not reflect to hosts under same host group, right? I tried it with 4.2.3:
Item added on step 2 did not appear on host in host group used on step 3 So workaround/workflow Valdis suggested does not work.
|
Comment by Valdis Murzins [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Sorry olli, I misread your second to last message, now I see it: As for ingus.vilnis comment, there is an option to clear the hosts, when mass removing templates: Clear when unlinking. Or you was meaning something else? I see the usability issue you are mentioning, richlv. I am not really in place to comment it, but I can say: "Thank you for explaining it". It is kind of in the comments, but I will write it more explicitly:
But, as richlv mentioned, there is a usability issue here, as it requires more steps to do, as you would normally want to. |
Comment by Valdis Murzins [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
The workaround I suggested was to add/remove host groups from hosts/templates. The problem with templates I explained in my previous comment. You are right olli, the templates, added to same host group as hosts, will not be linked to these hosts. Sorry, my message confused you. |
Comment by Olli Ihamäki [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Yes, I know that you replace templates. However, that is not sufficient. For example, you have:
And so on, tens, hundreds, thousands of hosts, and you need unlink and clear "Template tape backup" from these hosts. Can't replace since they have different templates.
|
Comment by Tony den Haan [ 2019 Jun 20 ] |
Richlv i'd say not even a link to a filtered version, just add filter there and then, perhaps default to whatever seems sane. |
Comment by bunkzilla [ 2019 Oct 03 ] |
please bring this functionality back. here is how I often use this. I have a group that is called "Paging" if I edit this hostgroup, I can see which hosts which are not in the hostgroup using the selectors. By selecting different hostgroups that I know should have hosts in the hostgroup, also to be able to remove them. Now I have no idea how to accomplish this. I use this mostly with hostgroups and not with templates because of the issues about unlinking.
|
Comment by Jack Valko [ 2020 Jan 13 ] |
Many of us manage ad-hoc maintenance windows with a group called "Maintenance" and require the ability to manage a hostgroup (not a host). Having a UI that allows us to manage the group it crucial. Here's a good use case: I get notified of a short notice outage in a remote site. I have over 100 hosts groups there. Before 4.0, I could add all of these hosts quickly to a Maintenance group. Now that operation is: This workflow is also much more difficult to explain than the old hostgroup two window UI. Since our upgrade to 4.4 Zabbix has become less useful because we can't quickly disable alerts and escalations. |

Description |
Use case Consider trigger based event correlation as described here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/manual/config/event_correlation/trigger Note that this use case is practical for log and trapper items with Multiple problem event generation mode enabled. The goal is to reduce the trigger flapping in case the application stops and restarts happen in relatively short time causing no or very short service interruptions. Currently available trigger functions are evaluated immediately when e.g. problem line appears in the log and the problem is closed when the recovery expression is satisfied with all the tags and conditions. However, the practical requirement is to put the trigger in the actual Problem state only if in e.g. 5 seconds after the "problem" line is detected the recovery expression with matching tag value has not been found in the log. In this case a short disturbance in the service would not be triggered. Should that be implemented in a trigger function as a parameter or a configurable box in the frontend and API does not matter that much although a box in the web interface would be more user friendly and not overcomplicate already option-rich trigger functions.

Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Jul 31 ] |
Delayed escalations don't completely satisfy this as the problems are displayed in the web interface anyways. Nodata triggers are no use here because of of minimum 30 seconds evaluation period and no practicality with Multiple problem event generation mode. Somewhat remotely related: ZBXNEXT-2452, |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Jul 31 ] |
Assuming the flapping is the biggest concern, would the existing trigger functions help somewhat? |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Jul 31 ] |
Unless I'm totally missing something but I have not succeeded with these functions. Here would be an example with count(). Item: log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,] Problem expression: {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].count(5,started,regexp)}=0 Recovery expression: {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].str(started)}=1 When a log line "Service1 stopped" appears it immediately triggers the problem expression regardless if you are looking for "started" or "stopped" pattern. How to make it wait for those 5 seconds maybe the "Service1 started" appears? Count() or regexp() is looking back in history for the past values in those 5 seconds, what you actually need is to look in the values for the next 5 seconds after the initial log line is received and then do the final evaluation. How? "Stopped" always comes before "Started". If I would have known service names I could use a separated trigger for each of them and combine regexp() and nodata() triggers. But when there are ~200 previously unknown names then this is not feasible. Additionally nodata() can't do periods under 30s and no multiple event generation thus no correlation of tags. Any other ideas? |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Aug 02 ] |
How about a hack like {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].count(5,started,regexp)} < {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].count(5,stopped,regexp)} ? (unrelated - you can probably use like instead of regexp for a tiny performance gain) But that' s still hackish, I'll grant that. If the app development can be influenced, going for monitorable objects that show service state and uptime would be the best - one could construct very neat triggers around those. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Aug 02 ] |
The suggested expression still fires immediately because the evaluation happens with the first "stopped" line and at that moment Zabbix looks 5 seconds in history for "started" which obviously is not there. There is no wait delay for the next condition. But I am truly thankful for your efforts to help. Suggesting other methods of app monitoring might be in the future scope but for the current case the log monitoring is the required way. |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Aug 02 ] |
Oh, I might have misunderstood the need then. Thought the intent is to alert about restarts, but avoid the flapping, but I guess the expectation is to ignore quick restarts. How about this hack? {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].count(10,started,like)} < {host:log[/home/test.log,(stopped|started),,,skip,].count(5,stopped,like,5)} Although this might not work if "stopped" is not followed by any other entries for 10 seconds. Even if count() was time based ( |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Aug 02 ] |
This never even fires but for the same reason - it looks in the history whereas it should receive the initial "event", wait a bit in case recovery happens, and if no recovery has been within 5 seconds then go into problem state. You have now understood me right - quick restarts must not be considered as problems (As in the original description "In this case a short disturbance in the service would not be triggered."). It is no problem configuring with numeric items having regular update intervals. But with irregular log events having multiple event generation and tags this becomes an issue. Thus the feature request for delaying the evaluation of a trigger but initiate that by a condition. |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Aug 02 ] |

Description |
Zabbix triggers allow a lot of use cases. Many of them not necessarily connected to a problem. In fact a trigger to me corresponds to a condition. The exact meaning results of the context the trigger is used for. How about introducing a trigger status mapping applicable on trigger level? This would allow users to provide a custom string replacing OK and PROBLEM. The technical representation should remain untouched. This is just about the Zabbix frontend resp. possibly also about notifications.
PS: The idea has already been mentioned in ZBXNEXT-1737. But that particular feature request asks for "a custom number of statuses", what in my understanding also consideres the technical status representation. |

In the configuration view of a User group Zabbix-Admins may find out easily what permission applies to which host group(s) resp. host(s). But sometimes it is desirable to do the exercise the other way around too. That's to say, looking at a Host group and finding out which User groups apply permission to it and which users have finally access granted or explicitly denied. |

Just hacked together this one after a request of an admin on site - maybe it's for the time being useful to anyone else too (see last condition of WHERE clause!): zabbix=# SELECT ug.name user_group, zabbix-# p.name permission zabbix-# FROM groups hg, zabbix-# rights r, zabbix-# usrgrp ug, zabbix-# ( VALUES zabbix(# ( 1, 'Deny' ), zabbix(# ( 2, 'Read' ), zabbix(# ( 3, 'Read-Write' ) zabbix(# ) AS p ( id, NAME ) zabbix-# WHERE ug.usrgrpid = r.groupid zabbix-# AND r.permission = p.id zabbix-# AND r.id = hg.groupid zabbix-# AND hg.NAME = 'A Host group name one is interested in'; user_group | permission -----------------------------------------------+------------ A User group | Read-Write Another User group | Read Yet another User group | Read What shall I say, a User group | Read Should be fairly easy to extend it to reveal users behind user groups as well. |

Description |
It could be great for actions to have implemented possibility not just to fill separate notification message subject and body, but also to be able to have defined something like "notification message templates" (for inspiration, Jira itself has similar concept implemented for its notifications), defining subject+body templates, reusable (referenced) in more than 1 action. Disadvantages of current state: when you have e.g. 100 actions, you need to have also subject and body copypasted 100 times, when you want to have unified form of notification messages. Then, when you want to change form of unified message, you need to edit 100 actions (burdening, error-prone process, hardly-maintainable). Complexity increases, when you have several types of messages (subject+body), each defined in many various actions, in the same ZABBIX system. Advantages of suggested feature: definig just one "notification message template" for each notification message type, and assigning them (optionally?) to actions as default, recovery, and acknowledgement messages in actions' operations. Thank you in advance for consideration, and sorry for my rude "Major" priority classification and "4.0 (plan)" suggested fix version, but I feel it this way . Jano |

This is cool and helps to troubleshoot issues. Now, let's imagine that you are using 3.4 new features like bulk data collection, pre-processing or just have a misconfiguration (wrong type of information). Displaying received value may cause fast growing of Zabbix server log file. Example (pre-processing):
What if I have in 10 times bigger JSON or thousands of such items? How about to display value in the Frontend, but add value to the log file with enabled debug only (i.e. add error to log, but truncate value with "DebugLevel=3")? |

I think it would be useful, if you could clone an entire group of hosts or use something like an "extended template". Here's my usecase: I'm monitoring a couple of distributed sites in Zabbix which all got the same structure. One router, one UPS, one server and so on. So what I'd like to do is to create a new group for each site which includes the template for the router, template for the UPS etc. so that I only have to give the IP addresses of all the different components. I hope you get the idea what I mean. |

Description |
LLD discovered objects should have finer control over their life cycle in Zabbix. LLD rules have no control mechanism for handling objects which are temporal in their nature. This generates noise in form of Internal action messages or messes things up if one is relaying on number of unsupported items as measure of Zabbix health. For very basic control, having a way of specifying how old the object must be, before it is added to Zabbix would be great. Say, for file system one could specify 1 day, to avoid adding USB flash stick filesystm to Zabbix (when monitoring user PCs). For more sophisticated control, maybe new objects should be added to monitoring right away but there needs to be a way of defining simple rules/ratio for object history as a function of how old is the object (i.e new objects get pruned faster if they are not discovered anymore) |
Comments |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Sep 04 ] |
It could be resolved using multiple lld filters in 2.4, as paths for mounting USB sticks usually are fixed or predictable (/media etc) and not being used for partitions mounted automatically for OS. But in general the idea is interesting. An item_discovery table has two columns: lastcheck integer Last timestamp when item was discovered & passed through filter. 0 - for item prototypes ts_delete integer Timestamp when the lost resource will be deleted, 0 otherwise. 0 - for item prototypes The table could extended by additional column - creation_time. |
Comment by Mārcis Lielturks [ 2015 Sep 04 ] |
Yes, basic approach would be to allow create LLD rules where there is also duration for "how long to postpone adding discovered" besides "how long to keep lost". As for filesystems, this was only example. I have some Windows PCs to monitor and every USB flash filesystem is immediately discovered. Same thing happens with VM hosting, if customer creates test VM with unpredictable name and deletes it after 3 hours, I have no way to tell Zabbix that LLD should treat this VM differently than VMs which LLD has discovered 3 months ago and they don't disappear. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Sep 04 ] |
That's actually a nice idea. We got regularly alerts for temporarily mounted file systems. These file systems provide more or less static data and do therefore not have much free space. I know there are potential workarounds by using additional macro filtering or upcoming context macro support. |

Theoretically it could be resolved if we would have ability to sort by "Last value" ob latest data page. |
Comment by John Lauro [ 2018 Apr 22 ] |
I would also like to sort by last value, As an alternate method of implementing, other options might be to have it tied to a new screen type or someway to do a top list linked to a template that is applied to all hosts in the template instead of only one, that would ensure you don't have to deal with different types. (Although being able to sort / pull up top lists without having to first configure a screen would be ideal). |
Comment by John Lauro [ 2018 Apr 22 ] |
Another option might be on the overview page, and hosts on the left, being able to sort by column. Each column should have the same type... (I seldom use overview because it is slow with a lot of hosts and data elements if you don't narrow with application, but it would be more useful it it let you sort by the values in a column). |

Description |
SNMP has a OID datatype of Integer32 (signed integer), which currently cannot be stored by zabbix correctly. We are monitoring printers, which report e.g. tray capacities and current levels as Integer32. Not only positive integers, which represent the actual capacity or level but also negative integers are used to transport information, e.g. that there is media present in the tray but the printer cannot determine the exact amount. Zabbix doesn't offer an unsigned integer data type so it looks like there is currently no way to map those values to zabbix. Float is not the correct datatype to store integers.
(The value -3 means that the printer knows that at least one unit remains.) Besides SNMP mappings, unsigned integers would also be useful in other situations where negative numbers could be used to transport additional information. See RFC3805 for details about our use case, especially Integer32 datatypes like prtInputCurrentLevel, prtOutputRemainingCapacity etc. and the reasons for negative entries. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2015 Jun 25 ] |
besides not matching the datatype, what is the problem with using float for such values ? |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2015 Jun 26 ] |
float is not suitable for storing integers. (Accuracy and rounding problems, etc.) One of the main tasks of Zabbix is storing SNMP values. So Zabbix should be able to accurately and lossless store any SNMP OID data type. |
Comment by Tomasz Kłoczko [ 2015 Jun 28 ] |
In range of values Integer32 float has always exact value in float representation. |

Hello, I try to use this format to monitor FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgHaStatsSyncDatimeUnsucc and FORTINET-FORTIGATE-MIB::fgHaStatsSyncDatimeSucc. For me, your code is wrong on calculation on month : Date.UTC use an index between 0 and 11 and not 1 to 12. Moreover, you can have this format without UTC direction. So, I propose this fix : value=value.trim() p_date = Date.UTC( parseInt("0x" + value.slice(0,2) + value.slice(3,5)), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(6,8) -1), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(9,11)), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(12,14)), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(15,17)), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(18,20)), parseInt("0x" + value.slice(21,23)) ) / 1000if (value.length > 23){ utc_direction = String.fromCharCode(parseInt("0x" + value.slice(24,26))) == '-' ? -1 : 1 p_date += parseInt("0x" + value.slice(27,29)) * 3600 * utc_direction p_date += parseInt("0x" + value.slice(30,32)) * 60 * utc_direction} return p_date;

I use LLD to discover a lot. The problem with templates, LLD and external JSON API is that I want to map only single thing to item-key. ifHCInOctet to be itemized key inbps if available This way I could always ask JSON API single key for same type of data without building external logic. I use Grafana to summarize multiple routers interfaces etc. This is totally doable with today's template if I create multiple LL-discoveries. But maintaining all templates and filter rules I find troublesome. And querying same discovery data from router many times loads routers. HC-disc: discover[IFALIAS,IFDESCR,IFSPEED,IFHIGHSPEED,IFNAME] With item prototype -filter I could create multiple prototypes for same key but with filter limit to only one to be created. From 3.4 release notes I see some enhancements for item prototyping/low level discovery but I interpret it this way that above situation is not solved. |

The API should support the ability to query grouping functions: groupfunc (grpavg, grpmax, grpmin, grpsum). This would allow better understanding of item values from a grouping perspective for validation before implementing the grp* item key and the ability to look at grouped data values where a grp* item key was not previously set. There is precedent for the use of group aggregates with the existing API methods, but the implementation is akward and could benefit from optimization(s) rather than multiple queries. For example: |

Would it be possible to add graphs in results (name of the host + names of valid graphs with links to them) of search engine queries? For example, someone wants to check a traffic of some specific bussines client, he/she knows the name of that cilent and there is a graph named after that client, but he/she doesn't know on what host this graph can be found and because of large number of possible hosts going through all of them would generate lots of unecessary work. After typing ABCDE in search engine's field and submitting it, user would get (apart from standard results for hosts, host groups and template) another section with list of all graphs containing ABCDE in their titles along with hosts these grpahs can be found. |

Comment by Kay Schroeder [ 2017 Apr 28 ] |
Hello, we are running in the same issue. We have thousands of customer poorts and we have non-admin users checking graphs and statistics of these ports. These users also won't care on which (of 200) device the customer is located. So would be nice to have this feature in place. |
Comment by Arnis Č. [ 2017 Sep 16 ] |
I'm pretty surprised that it is still not implemented. May be in server environment it is not so important to search for a graph by description, but in networking environment it is a big disatvantage. We have a lot of switches and routers and we have graphs for each interface and each interface has a description with some unique identifier. We would like to search for a graph globally with some wildcard filter possibilities. It would be a killer feature for us. Many networking people I spoke with put that as a disatvantage e.g. in comparison with Cacti where you can search for graphs quickly. |

@Piotr Goczal We wrote a small web serviss that allows us to search and find graph IDs with specified description. We use API graph.get method with searchWildcardsEnabled to search for graphs. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/api/reference/graph/get When graph ID is found we can redirect to zabbix frontend graph page: zabbix.example.com/charts.php?form_refresh=1&fullscreen=0&graphid=<GRAPH_ID>

Description |
There were number of cases, when MAX_SNMP_ITEMS in 128 was too much to be working, which caused different problems (tooBig(1) error). A few possible reasons: different OIDs length, included response etc, which leas to UDP packet overcome MTU packet size, which leads to troubles in UDP-SNMP protocol which works not well for many devices. I saw that some devices can nicely send fragmented response split to a few UDP packets (see attached example), which in total are higher that MTU, and they reconstructed on server side. I saw that on captured dumps on server side. But it happens not for all devices (snmp agents). I'm not 100% sure I understand this correctly. How it could be improved - if you enable the bulk mode for SNMP interface, then one more input field appears or right (with default value 128) but you can set an arbitrary number in range 2-128. I mean user can decrease the upper limit manually. The level how I could recommend to decrease the value when set manually - 50-60. It's based on my own experience, when troubleshooting different issues. Related discussions: To filter such errors in Wireshark, use filter "(snmp.error_status == 1)" |

As it turned out, the new graph widget also lacks the functionality of Dynamic Graphs. This is extremely inconvenient when creating the same type of dashboards for different hosts. In screen graph you have ability select Dynamic item in Graph properties:
This allows you to use the same screen for different hosts of the same type, switching between groups and hosts:
In Dashboard graph widget you can select only static hosts for data set and you have no ability select dynamic dataset:

I need this too. For my use case I need to tag the problem to ad-hoc disable notification of selected problems (but not disabling the problem itself, I still need to log the problem), or using tags to selectively notify some of the users. With problem tagging I can simply disable problem notification by setting tag conditions in actions, otherwise I have to cherry-pick the problem in action rule every time when I need to ad-hoc disable a problem notification, and potentially in multiple action rules. |

Also need this feature. Since TAGs was implemented as general use for filters and identification of services , this resource is mandatory! No overrules or ulgy solutions like clone the trigger and work with a "fixed" trigger on the host are good and acceptable solution.
|
Comment by Mehmet Ali Buyukkarakas [ 2023 Oct 27 ] |
Totally agree. We have another scenario. Some windows services on some servers are monitored by the Infrastructure team, but some application specific services are monitored just by another team. And the application team never accepts the infra-related services alerts to be delivered to them. Currently we can't distinguish the services by teams unless we dont use the LLD discovery rules overriding option. But its not practical.

Description |
In a load balance environment, we have multiple web servers serving a set of domain names over HTTPS. We would like to measure the performance of each web server independently by creating a web scenario for each one of them.
The problem: Using a domain name in the "URL" field in the web scenario would lead to resolving the domain to a different web server each (some) time leading to non reliable data.
Workaround (fails for HTTPS): Specify the IP of the web server instead of the domain name. This fails because each web server serves multiple domains (virtual hosts) and thus it responds differently based on the domain name used to connect to it, or more specifically the "Host" HTTP header. And while you can override the HTTP Host header in the current interface, this would fail for HTTPS because An HTTPS server also needs to get the server name provided already in the TLS handshake so that it knows which cert etc to use.
The solution: Zabbix depends on curl under the hood. curl allows you to give curl the proper URL but with a custom IP address to use for the host name we set. The --resolve command line option is our friend
Notes:
So please provide an interface parameter to configure the curl's "--resolve" option (or a sub-interface menu since it can be used multiple time to override multiple domains per a web scenario)

[ZBXNEXT-8959] Fix Color Selection In SVG Graph When Aggregating by Whole Dataset Created: 2024 Jan 17 Updated: 2024 Jan 17 |

Description |
When multiple items are chosen in the Svg Graph and are aggregated by the whole dataset, the first result from the function getColorVariations becomes the color of the aggregated data set. This is confusing and can lead to unexpected colors in the graph.
For whole data set aggregations the original color choice should be used from $options['data_sets'].
For example, in getMetricsAggregatedData(), starting at line 701, some simple logic could be added to easily fix this: 699 if ($metric['options']['aggregate_grouping'] == GRAPH_AGGREGATE_BY_DATASET) { 700 $dataset_metrics[$dataset_num] = $metric_num; 701 if ($data_sets[$dataset_num]['dataset_type'] == CWidgetFieldDataSet::DATASET_TYPE_PATTERN_ITEM) { 702 $metric['options']['color'] = '#' . $data_sets[$dataset_num]['color']; 703 } 704 else { 705 $metric['options']['color'] = '#' . $data_sets[$dataset_num]['color'][0]; 706 } 707 } |

The idea is to receive a report of problems occurred in a given time period grouped/categorized by severity etc. Triggers are great for real time alert escalations but having a periodical problems report is much useful for top tier managers. Example: send email report every 1hour with problems occurred in the past hour grouped by severity, i.e., all warn alerts, then all avg alerts, then all disaster alerts etc. |

Description |
When monitoring SNMP sometimes a component is removed and the index no longer exists in snmp table. For example, BGP link is down, problem created from it and then it's removed. Problem remains in Zabbix until the "Keep lost resources" period. If this period is decreased we might remove valuable history, that might still be used, so we don't want it decrease it. At the same time, because trigger is marked for removal at the moment, there is a high probability that the issue is no longer actual.
In this use case it would be very beneficial if we could suppress the problem automatically in case trigger is marked for removal. If it gets removed, the problem goes away anyway, but if "Marked for removal is unset", the problem continues and have correct history. |

It would be great if we could create hosts/templates for the different sensors we are accessing using MQTT, however using agents for this, is kind of strange. Obviously we can't install agents on the hosts (they don't even have IP addresses, eg. LoRaWAN nodes), so the config is really convoluted right now. It would be much easier if there would be an MQTT item type, and the server/proxy would connect to the MQTT broker and provide the values for it. It could use the host interfaces, or macros, etc for the broker address. Would make creating templates, and LLDs, and maps much easier. This structure would make much more sense than the current agent-host based one. |

extend current parameters for eventlog key for windows like it was done for log logrt maxdelay - the maximum delay in seconds. Type: float. Values: 0 - (default) never ignore log file lines; > 0.0 - ignore older lines in order to get the most recent lines analyzed within "maxdelay" seconds. Read the maxdelay notes before using it! This would be very useful to not read all logs if they not needed. If wee need only some fresh for last hour. One of use case: Agent was stopped or not running by some reason for few hours/days then we nit started it start reading huge set of event logs which might be not actual for a moment for monitoring. Probably maxdelay could be set globally for all eventlog/ log items and on priority on key level for particular logs. |

Steps to reproduce:
Result: The calculated avg is 1.35 KW for the last 1 hour See screenshot attached Expected: Since power consumption is 2.61 KW 80% of the time and 0.55 KW 20% of the time, the calculated avg for the last 1h should be about 2.18 KW I think this happens because Zabbix calculates the Avg by just summing up all values and dividing through the number of values taken. But it does not take into account the time interval between each measurement taken. This method only works if the measurement values are taken at an exactly regular interval, say each 1 minute |

I forgot to mention - this does not only affect the avg calculated in the graph view but also the Aggregate function avg (/host/key,(sec|#num)<:time shift>) |

LLD Discovery |
Description |
LLD is one of Zabbix most powerful mechanisms. There are a lot of functions and preprocessing options available to use nearly any data format as basis for item discovery and extract relevant parameters as LLD-macros. What is missing is an easy way to process the values extracted from the LLD source data before they are assigned to the LLD macros. Yes, you have a few options:
What I propose is to add an optional post processing chain to LLD macro definitions. It would be easy to adopt a subset of the item preprocessing operations for LLD macros:
An use case would be: imagine getting storage sizes reported back in megabytes (or as storage block count). For items, you would use item preprocessing to alway convert them to bytes (to make use of Zabbix's builtin unit processing power). Now you also get another parameter indicating size you want to put in a LLD macro (because it does not normally change). Now imagine you need to build a trigger comparing the processed item values to the threshold stored in the LLD macro... only they are not compatible for comparison, because the macro holds something like "100M" instead of the byte count. |

Calculated Items using aggregate functions |
Description |
Aggregate functions using foreach functions are a mighty tool. However, there are some glaring omissions that are difficult to impossible to work around. Consider for example a template determining the current patch state of Linux systems (this is an actual use case of mine). It uses some predefined thresholds to fill a patch state item for each Linux hosts; the item contains values 0 (unknown), 1 (bad), 2 (warning), 3 (good). Now I want to get a simple graph to show me how many of my Linux servers have which patch state. Easy? No, it is not possible right now. I would need to count the number of hosts where this item has a specific value. However, item filters right now only support host groups and / or tags as criteria. Host groups obviously do not help me here, and I see no way to put a current item value in a tag. So what would be required is a filter enhancement that would allow me something like this: count(last_foreach(/*/patch.stage,value=2)) (or something like this). Consider another problem: I want to have a statistic with the different Linux Versions I run with the number of hosts for each of them. This would require a LLD using a calculated item returning JSON, e.g.: distinct(last_foreach(/*/linux.version)) returning something like [""{#LINUX.VERSION}":"RHEL8.5","{#LINUX.VERSION}":"Centos 8 Stream" So I could use an item prototype like this count(last_foreach(/*/linux.version,strcmp({#LINUX.VERSION})) to get the count for string values as well. While this would fit in well syntactically, I guess this is not trivial to implement. |

Our current Zabbix <-> Ticket integration requires being able to address the receiving person by his/her full name. Zabbix knows the names of each user, but can't access that information during a Trigger-based notification. The macros for that operation exist, but are not usable in that context. Please make it possible, to resolve the macros for Trigger-based notifications and commands. |

Description |
Some hosts are multi-homed and zabbix allows to add multiple interfaces per host. GREAT! HOWEVER: In the current monitoring, it is not visible when a backup interface suddenly goes offline, while in fact, this backup (or another) interface might be needed when the major interface would fail. Thus losing the potential backup without knowing it is gone is considered a major problem.
My feature request is to add a function like: 1) option to allow enable/disable keep-alive check per host interface. If the keep-alive succeed, no problem else: trigger alarm of the specific host interface becoming unreachable 2) option to allow for some other checks to test: like latency / packet-loss towards this additional interface(s)
Below explains partially the problem, but working with macro's etc for this might be considered huge workaround. Some devices/hosts we use have even many possible interfaces... https://blog.zabbix.com/monitoring-a-dual-homed-machine-within-zabbix/11349/

Use case: Use auto-registration feature with HostInterface set: During first auto-registration interface created with both fields populated IP and DNS, and DNS is set to default connection method. For example, host is moved to another network or between data-centers or between on-premises and cloud. Monitoring still works through DNS, but IP stored inside interface settings is incorrect. This makes {HOST.IP} macro unusable and information provided by Zabbix is incorrect. Please add ability to refresh this information on regular basics. |

Various workarounds have existing in zabbix in the past to place hosts in a mode where it will not action on 1 or more of its triggers. With the removal of the add hosts to group functionality on the hostgroup edit page, there's no immediate way from a dashboard to quiet a host for a relative period of time. (Please correct this assumption if I'm mistaken). I would propose an additional operation on the "Update Problem" page that would offer an option to quiet this alert or quiet this host. |

It would be awesome that we could have another kind of dependant item in Zabbix. A new kind of dependant item would mean that kid item would act like a normal item, but its refresh would be indicated by the change of its' master item. Having that feature, kid item shouldn't have so tiny refresh interval because it would refresh only on a real update. For example, master item is a Log item in which I grep "Synchronized" word, and kid item would be an HTTP agent that would curl the website and by that collect new content. |

Description |
Ability to use multiple dependent items in trigger expressions but in a synchronous way. If I have 3 dependent items based on the same master item I would expect that trigger will calculate its expressions at the same time after 3 samples will be saved. Thanks to that trigger generate only one problem with correct ITEM.LASTVALUE resolution in the event table. It means that we cannot use multiple items in trigger expressions because it doesn't make sense in most of our cases if trigger generates multiple events almost at the same time based on one master item and only one sample. But since the master item return JSON, JSONPATH on trigger level could solve that issue. i.e.: {"file": "somelogfile.txt", "value": {"count": 3, "min": 0.302, "max": 0.302, "avg": 0.302, "sum": 0.906}, "count": 3} An additional trigger function that extracts a number value from json sample or clean text. Something like that:
Log Parser Template:log_parser.master_item.regexp("\"avg": ([\d\.]+),#1, \1) > 0.200
or Log Parser Template:log_parser.master_item.jsonpath($.value.avg,#1) > 0.200 Is it makes sense and is it possible in the future? |

Hi. As defined in docs and code see link below, this feature only works for indexes on the end of OID, somtimes needs to insert dynamic index inside OID.

Comment by dimir [ 2020 Sep 02 ] |
Sometimes we are having encrypted server->proxy connection failures. We use OpenSSL library. The error happens during the attempt to establish SSL handshake. Call to SSL_connect() function is never finished, we hit the alarm timeout that we set to 20 seconds (TrapperTimeout=20). The error message is SSL_connect() timed out and it's generated by Zabbix: 7822:20200820:092156.849 cannot connect to proxy "Foobar": TCP successful, cannot establish TLS to [[www.xxx.yyy.zzz]:1050]: SSL_connect() timed out While not saying this issue will fix our problems (which may happen because of network issues) we think it might minimize those and also minimize the effort spent on establishing encrypted connections. |

Description |
In Zabbix, there are filters everywhere, both in configuration and display contexts: in list of hosts, templates, “Latest data”, Problems view etc. These filters have been extended more and more during the last releases, and they already look quite “overloaded” on one hand, and on the other hand they are still missing quite a lot of useful functionalities which almost all bigger customers (and not only those) do strongly wish:
Additionally, there is a strong need to make the UI pages more flexible: currently, applied filters are saved in cookies, which causes a lot of undesired situations, such as a page showing up a different search result, host data, etc. than expected. This has been seen as very annoying by a lot of users. Another annoying thing is, that for example in the problems-widget on a dashbboard one can exclude one or more hostgroups. But this seems not possible on the problems view, even if the filters else look very similar.
A good and forward-looking solution would be an approach such as Atlassian Jira’s: in all pages where filters may be needed, the content is totally customizable by using a generic query language. Same has been seen at some monitoring solutions (Nagios based, see screenshot attached). A query language like that, combined with a graphical "filter builder" to help figuring out which possibilities there are to filter the current view, and probably even still some check boxes like those existing currently (“show acknowledged” and such) which change the query language parameters inline by pressing them, would make the whole Zabbix user interface much more flexible and better to use in large environments. Those same filters could be used inside of dashboard widgets, in the graph widget, in future maybe even in custom graphs (making them dynamic), in maps (to show, i.e. not just "one host group of hosts" but those exactly matching such a filter) and much more. Beside of the above described, I believe it would make sense to hand over the queries in URL parameters. This way, a proper “navigating back” would be possible, permalinks with queries included could be handed over to coworkers etc. Additionally such queries could be saved as “saved searches”, been combined with user permissions (like dashboards etc.) and this way be visible and quickly accessible for other users. As I have seen in other monitoring solutions, one possible way to implement could be to include the actual type of information (problems, latest data, …) to see in the query. This way, one query would clearly tell the UI which page to render. This would allow also custom frontend modules to integrate into such a filtering sub system. |

Hi, While using LDD and macros there is a need to have access to as many variables related to host as possible. I'd vote to have at least these two enabled. PORT for obvious reasons, DESCRIPTION for hacking possibilities to pass whatever you need for a specific host. The other nice to have macros would be: HOST.{AGENT|SNMP|JMX|IPMI} .DNS .IP Hopefully this won't involve too much work and will make LDD related tools/scripts usage much easier. |

Description |
Related to In older versions of Zabbix the triggers with different expressions but identical names in Overview page were grouped by those names. Agreed that this can cause confusion when used without knowing this behavior, however there were several use cases where this hidden feature was used intentionally. As mentioned in This is how it looks now. The page in particular use case was adapted to a wall mounted TV screen which has now become unusable because all triggers no longer fit in one screen. No, there is no option to use scrolling. Please implement a control which can enable / disable the advantage of this grouping feature. Additionally it should be remembered in the user settings since screens are displayed automatically from selected URLs without the need to adjust the filtering by a user every time the page is opened. |

Sigh. This is what happens when you start one issue in the morning and finish creating it by the evening. Coincidence because this functionality is not something what was changed yesterday. |

Hello, Please see my forum post here: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56368 I'd like to request that logging be improved around low level discovery, as even with debug level 5 set of discovery, there isn't anything meaningful around why my discovery script isn't correctly creating items other than "Cannot create item: item with the same key "PureStorageMonitoring.py[{HOST.CONN},{$APITOKEN},"temperature",{#ID}]" already exists." which I assume means that {#ID} isn't being expended. Why it isn't being expanded would be more useful, along with info around how the JSON is actually being processed etc. Many thanks,. |

Maybe it would help if there was a message that no value of LLD macros encountered in prototype was found in JSON? |

Description |
I have tried to integrate trends into my PDF report, and I believe I am querying the way I should, but it looks like trend.get ignores the time_from and time_till values and just return the value from one record instead. For example, I have some hosts/gateways that have had some unscheduled downtime. Some of them a few days ago, but it I ask for trend data for say a week, it just says that no pings were ever lost. If I have a host that is still down, I at least get a value that is not zero, but typically much higher than what the period it covers would lead to. Example:Report from 2016.09.25 22:33 until 2016.10.02 22:33. Ping loss is shown as 0%?! If I manually query the trend database the way I would expect the API to, I get a value matches this pretty well: mysql> select AVG(value_avg) AS trend_avg from trends WHERE itemid=52391 and clock BETWEEN 1474835627 and 1475440427; +-------------+ | trend_avg | +-------------+ | 37.11576826 | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Datapoints: mysql> select clock,value_avg AS trend_avg from trends WHERE itemid=52391 and clock BETWEEN 1474835627 and 1475440427;

This is tested on Zabbix 3.0.4. I expect it is also an issue in 3.2, but I have not had time to test it. It does not look like 3.0.5 is available as a package for my CentOS base yet, but I doubt the issue is fixed, since the release notes make no mention of it. |

Comment by richlv [ 2016 Oct 03 ] |
first, zabbix api never performs any operations on the database values (there is a separate feature request for that), thus your check with the db level avg() wouldn't be reproducible with the current zabbix api. as for only one value being returned, please show the raw json sent to the zabbix api (not an interpretation for some library or language, pure json) |
Comment by Martin Møller [ 2016 Oct 03 ] |
Alright. That would be this part: {"auth":"<removed>","method":"trend.get","id":1,"params":{"output":["itemid","num","value_min","value_avg","value_max"],"itemids":"52391","time_from":1474851603,"time_till":1475456403,"limit":1},"jsonrpc":"2.0"} From your description, I think I can gather that limit:1 is my issue and that I will get all rows returned, not the added values. Might there be a call for that some day? Context: Array ( [19913] => 1 [13] => 30 [78] => 5 [81] => [64] => [52] => 1 [74] => 1 [10023] => Array ( [0] => Content-Type: application/json-rpc [1] => User-Agent: ZabbixAPI v1.0 - http://andrewfarley.com/zabbix_php_api ) [10036] => POST [10015] => {"auth":"64e85a215abf7e23d57f57fcd246a0f7","method":"trend.get","id":1,"params":{"output":["itemid","num","value_min","value_avg","value_max"],"itemids":"52391","time_from":1474851603,"time_till":1475456403,"limit":1},"jsonrpc":"2.0"} [10102] => gzip ) Got response from API: ({"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[{"itemid":"52391","num":"60","value_min":"0.0000","value_avg":"0.0000","value_max":"0.0000"}],"id":1}) Response decoded: (Array ( [jsonrpc] => 2.0 [result] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [itemid] => 52391 [num] => 60 [value_min] => 0.0000 [value_avg] => 0.0000 [value_max] => 0.0000 ) ) [id] => 1 ) PS: Tried removing 'limit:1' and then I get all the rows, so now that part is solved. I didn't get a good grasp on the trend.get call from the one example shown, I'm afraid. |

ZBXNEXT-656 asks for something similar - only for history.get, but that's normal as trend.get didn't exist back then. |

Description |
Zabbix has intermittent (by way of upstream MySQL bugs getting fixed and reappearing) difficulties with ODBC items crashing Zabbix servers and proxies, by way of dynamic linking issues within the ODBC connector libraries. Zabbix could fix this by having the ODBC poller relegate ODBC queries out to a subprocess that doesn't link against libmysql (or hardly anything else). This would be a very simple and straightforward (if not ideal, from an efficiency standpoint) solution that would armor the Zabbix server and proxy architecture against future issues like these. This might look like using a pipe to feed requests in, and then receiving the results back when they're available. It doesn't even need an asynchronous alerting / are-the-results-ready-yet behavior outside of a heartbeat, I suspect, as the ODBC poller processes are only expected to be working one query at a time. Again, this would permanently fix Related to |

Zabbix 2.4.5. Appliance on KVM/qemu |
Description |
The autodiscovery check "TCP(port range)" does not generate any event if the specified port is closed. So it is impossible to make a condition based on a closed tcp port or to link any actions on such a case. It is necessary to create an event type like "tcp port closed" and corresponding condition fields in the "actions" - "discovery" section. |
Comments |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Mar 29 ] |
Could you please elaborate a bit why "Discovery status = Down" in action conditions is not sufficient (it seems to work for me)? What is your use case? |
Comment by Romanenkov [ 2016 Mar 29 ] |
If the port is closed there is no "Discovery status = Down". On a previosly "Up" or "Discovered" check result there can be some kind of state, but if it is a first time scan there are no states - I tried all the possible values in the action conditions: "Available","Unavailable","Discovered","Lost" with no result. When I display the discovered hosts, the status field of the TCP check is empty for hosts with closed port (not red, green or any other color) - which means it has no status, and no event is generated. I am trying to automate the zabbix agent installation on remote hosts. So I created a network discovery rule with two checks: ICMP ping and TCP(10050). Next I run an installation script on the remote machine if the TCP(10050) is closed. It works manually, and to automate it I need some event or determined state of the TCP check - but it seems not implemented in zabbix (2.4.5 or 3.0). |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Mar 29 ] |
Thanks for clarifying! Indeed, if a host has never been discovered before, there are no "Down" events. |

Description |
Protocols that are used between Zabbix components are UTF-8 based. However for Windows version of zabbix_get, zabbix_sender no conversion to UTF-8 is done for the command line parameters. For example, one can query Windows agent from Unix with the following command.
$ ./zabbix_get -s 192.168.3.227 -k "wmi.get[root\cimv2,select Caption from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption like '%Édition%']"
Microsoft Windows 7 Édition Familiale Premium
Equivavlent command doesn't work either from PowerShell or cmd.exe.
PS E:\> .\zabbix_get.exe -s 127.0.0.1 -k "wmi.get[root\cimv2,select Caption from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption like '%Édition%']"
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED: Cannot obtain WMI information.
We should check how to solve this. One of the possibilities is to change main() to wmain() and then convert arguments from UTF-16 to UTF-8. |

If this changes will be applied it will be possible to replace js menu processing with help of pure css in new skins/styles. NB. unfortunately, with this changes the small triangle under selected parent menuitem in existing styles should be moved to left side of the menuitem. |

The only way I currently can think of is by optionally passing data to stdin of the custom command. I've no clue whether it should rather be configurable in a fixed format with two variables only (username and password) or a free form field supporting line breaks. The first allows to use existing form fields. The latter provides maximum flexibility for instance to adapt a format that is already supported by a given custom command.

most of the things in zabbix are case sensitive - it would be a major breaking change, and there does not seem to be a compelling reason to change. |
Comment by Shriharsh Thanvi [ 2017 May 26 ] |
I completely agree about most of the other things being case sensitive; except for the host name. If not entire change, then at least auto registration should check the host name without case sensativity. I do not think it will be a major breaking change. |
Comment by richlv [ 2017 May 26 ] |
what is the compelling reason for that then ? |
Comment by Shriharsh Thanvi [ 2017 May 26 ] |
The intention here is primarily to prevent duplicate host creation, and providing zabbix admin the flexibility to handle complex scenarios. We already had several VM discovered and subsequently cloned to modify monitoring policies (like alerts on disk space etc) using macros. This leads us to two scenarios:
The agent config will be same and we intend to do mass deployments. On our part, I also do recognize the need for some strict complaince when it comes to naming conventions at different stages. |

Agent configuration should support whitelist of allowed paths for following agent items:
This is necessary when running agent in environment where security requirements state that full external access to file system items by Zabbix is not allowed but some file items still must be monitored. Whitelisting paths allows limiting accessible file system items easily. Another way to restrict Zabbix access to file system requires configuring file access of Zabbix agent user at file system level which is much more cumbersome, prone to errors and may be impossible to implement in certain environments. I have already implemented this feature in fork of Zabbix which can be seen at: https://github.com/digiapulssi/zabbix/pull/2 In the implementation, whitelist can be configured by adding AllowedPath elements in agent configuration specifying regex path patterns. When none are configured full access is allowed to ensure backwards compatibility. For example, following configuration would only allow checking of mariadb logs:
AllowedPath=^/var/log/mariadb/.*$

Dear team, we are working with agent-server communication encryption
I.e. agent configuration file: The agent on Windows will not start. The same happens with the Linux agent ? but providing a clearer error: Is this expected, i.e. by design Zabbix is using not only encryption but also client authentication over TLS (so the server will ask the client, in this case the agent to provide its certificate to authenticate it? Otherwise, if this is not the intended design, can it be classified as an issue/bug? Thanks in advance for your help |

Hi, ◾ Zabbix uses mutual authentication. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 22 ] |
Yes, Zabbix daemons perform mutual authentication and this is by design. How would you then formulate the feature request? |
Comment by MarcoP [ 2016 Aug 22 ] |
Hi Aleksandrs, So in this use case there would be two options: The encryption without CA would be useful to avoid a certificate to be installed and configured on the Agent, i.e. scenario in which only the connection from the agent to the server needs to be encrypted (active). So only the server would have its certificate and would be authenticated on the agent side, while the agent will not send any certificate to the server. PS: attached web GUI proposal of how this might be activated. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 22 ] |
So, basically, it is about not being required to configure certificates for Zabbix agents, just like with HTTPS, where only a Web server is required to present a certificate, but not clients? |
Comment by MarcoP [ 2016 Aug 22 ] |
hi, yes, you got the point. Thanks |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 22 ] |
Thank you! I have updated the issue title and moving it to ZBXNEXT project. Note that if it is desired to only configure a certificate on Zabbix server, but not on the agents, then it will prevent passive checks from working. With passive checks, Zabbix server connects to Zabbix agents, so Zabbix server acts as a TLS client and Zabbix agents act as TLS servers. If Zabbix agents (TLS servers) do not have certificates, then it will probably not work, because TLS servers are more or less required to have certificates (see also http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/38589/can-https-server-configured-without-a-server-certificate). If you just need a cheaper and easier encryption scheme, you can use PSK in the meanwhile. |

Description |
Let's start with a small demonstration. Let's build a small application (test) linked against two libraries (liba.so and libe.so) depending on one and the same symbol (foo) from two different libraries (libb.so and libd.so). a.c: #include "a.h" #include "b.h" void a_foo(void) { foo(); } a.h: void a_foo(void); b.c:
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(void)
{
printf("bar\n");
}
b.h: void foo(void); d.c:
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(void)
{
printf("baz\n");
}
d.h: void foo(void); e.c: #include "d.h" #include "e.h" void e_foo(void) { foo(); } e.h: void e_foo(void); Let's build libraries: $ gcc -o libb.so b.c -fPIC -shared $ gcc -o libd.so d.c -fPIC -shared $ gcc -o liba.so a.c -lb -L. -fPIC -shared $ gcc -o libe.so e.c -ld -L. -fPIC -shared Let's first test them separately. #include "a.h" int main(void) { a_foo(); return 0; } test_e.c: #include "e.h" int main(void) { e_foo(); return 0; } $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. $ gcc -o test_a test_a.c -la -L. $ gcc -o test_e test_e.c -le -L. $ ./test_a bar $ ./test_e baz So far everything is as expected. Now let's link both libraries to the same program. #include "a.h" #include "e.h" int main(void) { a_foo(); e_foo(); return 0; } Both a_foo() and e_foo() print "bar" or "baz" depending on -l flag order: $ gcc -o test_both test_both.c -la -le -L. $ ./test_both bar bar $ gcc -o test_both test_both.c -le -la -L. $ ./test_both baz baz If program has it's own symbol foo it gets even better. #include "a.h" #include "e.h" #include <stdio.h> void foo(void) { printf("foo\n"); } int main(void) { a_foo(); e_foo(); return 0; } Symbol foo from liba.so and libe.so gets resolved to the foo exported by the program itself: $ gcc -o test_own test_own.c -la -le -L. $ ./test_own foo foo But with a different approach it is possible to sort it out. #include <stdio.h> #include <dlfcn.h> void foo(void) { printf("foo\n"); } int main(void) { void *liba, *libe; void (*a_foo)(void); void (*e_foo)(void); liba = dlopen("liba.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL); libe = dlopen("libe.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL); a_foo = dlsym(liba, "foo"); e_foo = dlsym(libe, "foo"); foo(); a_foo(); e_foo(); dlclose(liba); dlclose(libe); return 0; } $ gcc -o test_rtld test_rtld.c -ldl $ ./test_rtld foo bar baz Most important question: How is it related to Zabbix? Zabbix depends on a number of libraries (cURL, Net-SNMP, OpenIPMI, DB client libraries, ...) which all require encryption libraries as a secondary dependency. Zabbix uses DB client libraries to access its database and links against UnixODBC which loads ODBC drivers which require DB client libraries too. Sometimes they all need different versions of the same library and inability to resolve symbols correctly (slight difference between "bar" and "baz" in the example above) often leads to crashes. |

when requesting template.get, we may ask for all the properties like applications, macros, items, triggers, graphs... unfortunately, nested properties are not returned :
if one would like to get all the information about a template, that makes the 'extend' call to these entities useless - it is still required to make another call for all the web scenarios, graphs, lld rules, templated screens... the host.get method is likely the same. |

Thus, the java gateway feature should either be directly integrated into the agent (recommended) or the gateway should be linked to the agent, not to the proxy or server. |

integrating it in the agent would be highly unfeasible. java gateway is written in java, while agent is small, lean and uses little memory. |

Description |
Zabbix disables core dumps when adding encryption when compiling A better solution would be to have the option in the config file. This way when people needs a core dump they have the option to enable core dumps. Or at least they have a choice. I understand that the dump can be a security risk but sometimes coredumps are usefull and needed. |

Description |
Dear, using API, we want to retrieve some informations about Web scenarios, like the average response time for the first (and uniq) step. We retrieve the web scenario information without any problem (using httptest.get). But to get the average response time, we use the historyGet, but we must set in parameter (itemid) the id of the average response time (I get the itemid in the frontend url). In other word, I don't understand how is linked the web scenario id to the average download time of the 1st step. I've also check on database but cannot see the relation. Thanks for your help |

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2016 Feb 25 ] |
Indeed an "httpstepitem" table could be used to get and include actual items to API response. As a workaround, having scenario and step names it's possible to construct item keys https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/web_monitoring/items and then using hostid get items using item.get with filtering by key. Should we move it to ZBXNEXT ? |

Dear Zabbix, we need to hide Ok/Problem status in maps, because with statuses, we haven't got lots of space between items. I think it will be a good feature. I send you all edited files, with updated database. It's new item called "hidestatus". Thank you for your reply and add it in next versions. |

Zabbix 2.4.8rc1 (revision {ZABBIX_REVISION}). It can be seen that there are failed queries after database connection was re-established. However, these failed queries probably come from processes which did not notice that the database was down before and were using the old connection descriptor for their query. This looks scary, but does not seem to cause a problem: these failed queries will be repeated immediately after reconnection. |

From the log attached by asaveljevs we can see that the fact that database was down and came back was noticed by alerter, escalator, http poller (these are processes which use direct queries instead of caches), configuration syncer and history syncer processes (which communicate with database a lot by design). Processes that do not notice such short database downtime are trappers, pollers, discoverer, timer, ... (which use mostly caches or spend a lot of time simply sleeping) Since Zabbix processes do not share information about database status this situation is more or less expected. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2016 Apr 07 ] |
After some discussion we decided to leave things as they are. Some of Zabbix processes communicate to database not very frequently. Between rare queries connection handle may become invalid. Query then fails and Zabbix process tries to reconnect immediately. If the reconnection is successful on the first attempt, no messages about database down/up are logged, just the message about a failed query. Rationale:
As suggested by richlv moved to feature requests to track user interest in this issue. |

Hello! Usually, when you creating something - you want to adjust something or validate that you not forget anything. Now you are forced to remember the name of created entity, then find it. It would be super handy if there will be direct link to it in flash message. I attached screenshot of how i see it. |

just to clarify, the popup/slidedown temporary message is meant, adobe flash not suggested here this would be very handy indeed, but what if multiple entities are affected in one go ? should the links go in the detailed entries (expandable) then ? |
Comment by Ivan Kolomiets [ 2016 Feb 15 ] |
@richlv fair comment. I'm particularly suffering from adding single items, not used mass editing much, but can i imagine example for this - mass enabling of hosts - it would be nice to get links to them in order to open in new tabs and continue editing. |

could you please provide an example of the desired functionality ? |
Comment by wgretz [ 2015 Aug 27 ] |
Sure, hopefully this makes sense. I want 20 servers on a screen and I want them all to graph cpu load, memory and eth0. It would be nice if I could create a screen template that would include those metrics by default. Having this ability would mean I could graph all of those items in a couple clicks, applied to however many hosts I want on the screen. Example: Create screen --> manually created baseline graph template --> Apply to select hosts --> auto populates screens with items/graphs Right now I need to create a blank screen, and manually add each graph item I want for each server. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Aug 27 ] |
Isn't that already covered by dynamic elements of a regular screen or by a host screen? Edit: |
Comment by wgretz [ 2015 Aug 27 ] |
I want to create a screen, that includes x amount of servers, with the same items/graphs displayed. I want the ability to manually create a template where I can define the graphs I want applied. I then want to create a screen, apply the manually created template and select the hosts I want applied. Currently this is a very manual process, custom screen template would be ideal. Host Graph Graph Graph |
Comment by wgretz [ 2015 Aug 27 ] |
Right. I guess using the dyanmic item logic it could be as simple as, under screen config, adding items you want graphed, making them dynamic and then under monitoring screens, you could select a hostgroup which would then display an instant dashboard per hostgroup of your choosing. Just brainstorming... |

Functionality like this would allow people to use Zabbix for more than "just" a monitoring system |

It would take you the trigger editor, with host and item already filled in. 2.)

Description |
This ticket describes my wish from the conference talk "Generating Maps and Hosts from Topological Data" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv0ZV05N5oI). =Scenario= A Zabbix server is connected to a monitored server via a switch Z- Z ... Zabbix server The switch is maintained by a network administrator (NA), the server is maintained by a server administrator (SA). S hosts a website for a customer. =A little story= In the middle of the night, SA receives a message on his phone, claiming S is unreachable. What happened? Various things go through his mind: Did somebody mess up the firewall, the nameserver? Did somebody pull a cable or did the switch break? Did the machine or the network stack crash? Is it actually the Zabbix server that became disconnected from this part of the network? 2 minutes later the customer is on the phone, asking the drowsy SA what's wrong with his website. At this point he can't answer the customer's question. He doesn't even know if he can do anything about it. He only knows the problem is apparently real. If he's lucky, he'll reach a NA who can help him find out. Meanwhile in the network operations center: NA gets a message on the dashboard, saying N is unreachable. He doesn't know the topology very well and therefore doesn't know from the top of his head, which hosts are affected by this outage. He also has no idea what services the machines runs, that is behind the broken switch. He has no immediate sense of urgency besides the trigger severity. If he's lucky, somebody's maintaining some additional information, accessible in the enterprise wiki. This little story assumes, no trigger dependency is used. The trigger dependency mechanism could have been used to not notify the SA at all, because S depends on N. But that doesn't help the SA, because the customer would have still called him up and he'd have been even more clueless. =What if ...= What if the SA would have gotten a message saying: "Server S is unreachable. This is due to an outage of N." Reading it, he would have known he can't do anything about the problem. The website would most likely come back online when N is back to work. He could have answered the customer: "We have a network problem, NOC is working on it, have a good night!". Also, what if the NA had a dynamic map reflecting dependency? Optionally he could also receive messages like below, if he cares: "Switch N is unreachable. Therefore S is unreachable too." NA: "Gosh, S is an important server, I better hurry!" If you're creative with triggers and trigger dependency, you can visually reflect affected hosts on static maps and get this kind of notification. It only works in specific topologies though and may break silently, when you delete a host. This is not how it should be done. =What would be necessary?= I believe all necessary information already exists in the Zabbix database. Zabbix knows about the whole dependency chain. Instead of hiding away subsequent problems, it should also be possible to notify subsequent problems with the root problem message. =Known limitations= Trigger dependencies are connected with a logical OR. This might not be ideal for modelling topology. |

Comment by romale [ 2013 Nov 19 ] |
>all necessary information already exists in the Zabbix database. Zabbix knows about the whole dependency chain. imho, in current state, zabbix does not know about dependencies. Firstly, it should create a network tree. i think it should discover who is host, who is switch, router etc and who of this at righ side and at left side for topology compilation and relations between devices. Also, it should to know who is Port for root cause discovery and port to port mappings. This mechanism is requires model-oriented approach. And, since, all of network devices are typically SNMP-based, so, discovery should rely on SNMP. This is my reflections about network topology discovery and dependencies and about some implementations. |

Comments |
Comment by Justin McNutt [ 2013 May 22 ] |
I would like to see a feature like this as well. My management would like me to be able to provide "perspectives" on a network device. That is, they want me to be able to show whether a switch is reachable not only locally (from a "primary" proxy) but also remotely (from a proxy farther away). This is especially important when monitoring services like DNS, where it is extremely useful to be able to show that a service was up and running, since the local proxy could reach it, but that there was a network problem somewhere because the external proxy was unable to reach it. Suggestion: Make it so that a single Host can have multiple Interfaces, defined by the (IP/DNS, proxy) tuple, where "proxy" can be NULL when that Interface is monitored by the Zabbix host itself. One problem I see is that this may confuse how Items work. Would ALL Items be re-tested per Interface/Proxy? Or just certain ones? Some more thought needs to be given to this to make it feasible. |

Comment by Philipp Jakubowski [ 2015 Jul 09 ] |
This feature is needed in multiple ways for us... |
Comment by Timo Reimann [ 2018 Feb 16 ] |
This feature would be very useful for our deployment, too. I think it would be best to select the Zabbix proxy on interface basis. Using this setup, we could use some kind of production proxy for Zabbix agent checks and a Out-of-band management proxy for SNMP checks against the servers lights-out management card. Currently we need to create two hosts for each server: one host for checks against Zabbix agent and another one to check the server hardware using SNMP in a dedicated Out-of-band management network. |

This appears to work on 6.0.2 and I'm not sure about other versions. Add read-write to the host groups you desire via User Groups and then using User Roles you can restrict configuration of Hosts. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything, but my users can now add maintenance and appear that they cannot configure anything still.

The fastest response ever... thanks. If you are asking if the discovered serveres have Zabbix agent installed, the answer is "not always". Marcus |

so server should do reverse lookup and use the result as the uniqueness criteria ? |

Imagine having a complex network scenario, with trigger dependencies defined. when a system is down, you only get one red link , you may get other triggers depending on triger order, I think the triggers should be shown on link triggers with no regards to dependencies, or at least give a per map choice on that. seems to be the oposite of |

Comment by richlv [ 2012 May 25 ] |
but we do not know that other links are down, we know that one link is down. from the last information we got, the other links were up. should we really mark unknown things as down ? |
Comment by Ghozlane TOUMI [ 2012 May 25 ] |
From my pov, we know that the links are down : now the question is : can zabbix show the triggers even if they depend on another problem trigger... I don't know at what level the dependencies are managed, I think i understand dependent triggers are somehow set in an "invisible" state when the depending trigger value is in "problem" state, it would be simpler for this request if triggers where allways evaluated, in which case dependencies could be a filter on those triggers the rationale behind this being that you ban see what's really happening on you system in the maps and in the events , while keeping only the relevant problem on the dashboard/triggers and alerting . and decorrelation between trigger evaluation and dependency could help with escalation problems such as |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 May 25 ] |
well, it sounds like you want to selectively ignore dependencies, which i can't see another way to have as a new feature to, well, ignore them. it should be figured out which elements/pages should have the option and on what level (for example, is it per map or per map element/link ?). as such, it is definitely a feature request |
Comment by Jacek [ 2014 Aug 08 ] |
Maybe it would be easier to accompish that if you could change a behaviour of dependant triggers - instead of not changing (ignoring) its status in case of problem on more important node, you could change its status to 'unknown'. That wouldn't generate any notifications, would keep dashboard clean and maps would be even more detailed (pointing exactly where is the main problem and what is influenced by it). For some reason I cannot add screenshots, so below there is a link to forum thread where I posted an example to that. Unfortunately I don't know how to solve this. |

Currently, if you want to monitor several network interfaces, or several disk partitions, you need to create multiple items, one for each interface or partition, but otherwise almost identical. Moreover, you need to create multiple triggers, one for each item you want to be warned about. This is a lot of duplicated configuration, clutter in the host or template entries, etc. It would be great to be able to let Items or Triggers to operate on lists. That way the item "Incoming network traffic on interface $$", could then be be told to act on "eth0 eth1 eth4". (Sorry if this request is duplicate, i couldn't find an existing request although i would think many people would love this...) |

Sasha also said that the other reason why we cannot do this in 1.8 is that pollers process internal items and they must have a database connection for that. In 2.0, though, we can get rid of not very useful internal items like zabbix[history] and rewrite items like zabbix[requiredperformance] to use configuration cache. |

Can not build advanced maps with regions and icon highlighting ( see attached image). The problem is that if I create different color icons and use Advanced Icons option, I can only see that somewhere has or not a problem, so I do not know wich severity the problem is. I know that Icon highlighting could solve this question, but it does not make a shadow around the image, it just make an elipse based on height and width of the image. My suggestion is to create composed icons to build over the originals, just like a small wrench at the right-top of the icon(when in maintenance), or a small point right-bottom with something that could be used to understand the severity of that "problem status". An easiest way to solve this question could be to add the possibility to choose icons for each severity, it will make it a lot easier to build maps just like I wish. Any other suggestion is welcome! Thanks in advance, |

Description |
Please consider the following feature request involving making better use of typeperf information on windows agents : 1) In the Windows agent, build in the ability to collect the results of "typeperf -qx" and pass that list back to the Zabbix server. 2) On the Zabbix server, in the web interface under a particular host, allow the admin to view this typeperf list. That alone would centralize this very useful information so people don't have to check typeperf on individual machines prior to adding perf_counter Items. Once that is in place, it can be taken a step further : 3) While viewing the list of typeperf results for a host in the web GUI, allow a number of individual items to be checked off, and then a button could be clicked to automatically add perf_counter Items for each checked off typeperf line. Default values could be used for many of the fields, which could then be individually edited later if desired. This would allow fast creation of multiple perf_counter items, and since they would be based on typeperf collected right from the target machine, they should all work properly on that Windows host. It would also eliminate the manual entry of all those long string definitions and reduce the chance of typos. Once this functionality is is place, it would be useful to be able to create a template based on that host. ( see ZBXNEXT-595 ). For future thought: Once the concept of an agent collecting a list of available monitor targets and passing that list back to the Zabbix server for selection is in place, something similar could be done for other monitoring targets such as "netstat -l" (listening ports), available SNMP monitors, etc. These would also be applicable to Linux hosts. |

Comment by richlv [ 2011 Jan 02 ] |
"Once the concept of an agent collecting a list of available monitor targets and passing that list back to the Zabbix server for selection is in place" actually, the concept has already been developed it should be already possible to write custom checks that return json of typeperf output (see the end of that documentation page) so this feature request could be about windows agent supporting performance counters as discoverable objects (it's pretty much already supported for snmp) |

Comment by nelsonab [ 2011 Nov 18 ] |
I'm going to take a crack at developing a patch for this. I've been tasked with learning and getting up to speed with Red Hat's MRG product which uses QPID which is the Apache version of AMQP. The biggest challenge so far is that there are no C libraries for AMQP. Rabbit-MQ has one but from what I can tell it's not considered production stable and I wonder how actively developed it is. The best libraries are written in C+, and Java. Fortunately there is a way to interface C with C+, and that is the route I think I will take. Looking long term adding AMQP support is a "no brainer" in my view. Fedora 16 has recently introduced Matahari, which is a systems management tool which uses AMQP, I would not be surprised if Matahari makes it way into RHEL 7. If that happens I speculate that RHN Satellite support would not be far behind. If Zabbix was able to tap this as a means for monitoring that would put it ahead of the competition. Also with AMQP it may be possible to introduce a framework to allow the Web Frontend to talk to the agent directly and query all of the available items. In addition to the above, many "Cloud" offerings are built on Messaging systems such as AMQP. If Zabbix had AMQP support this would further give it a leg up on competitors by truly being a "Cloud Aware" monitoring system. |

Comment by thierry regis [ 2010 Oct 06 ] |
I , regarding to this issue, we stil have this huge problem. In order to pass througt the metrics from windows which don't comme up in zabbix . We have migrate the database in LATIN. All metrics are recolted successfully now , but we are in a real complex situation. Zabbix server is running in UTF8 , zabbix GUI is running in UTF8, and the database is in LATIN. It is therefore impossible to simply copy a template wiwh contains accented character (éàô...) etc ... as the GUI responds that character are unrecognized. We definitively need a support on this issue as it might be really difficult to reverse this situation. as anyone a clue on this ? do we have to try to play on the GUI encoding ? or try other DB encoding. May be we have to go back to full UTF8 ( DB as well) and try to filter data containing accented character in front of the zabbix server. We thought as well about get the cmd.exe convert in chcp 65001 but it won't be that easy to implement and won't be without any risk. We néed to solve this situation either for zabbix agent, than to zabbix_sender , so the user'parameters solution does not cover this fiels. Thanks in advance for any Help. |

Description |
additional log time format placeholder - textual month - would be needed multiple daemons (including apache) log using 3-letter textual month reference (Jan-Feb-Mar etc). currently it does not seem that full or localised month name support would be needed |

Comment by richlv [ 2012 Oct 05 ] |
ZBXNEXT-1271 actually asks for localised month support, so apparently it is needed |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 May 01 ] |
ZBXNEXT-2288 suggests to use strptime (and has a patch) |

Description |
additional log time format placeholder - unix timestamp - would be needed. squid uses one to log data. that would be a single character (maybe "U" ), which would then grab all digits starting from the first position. while at that, maybe worth also adding millisecond placeholder (squid format is UNIX_TIMESTAMP.MILLISECONDS), as 2.0 will have fractional second support |

Comment by Germán Rivas [ 2018 Aug 09 ] |
This request is very necessary. Currently on my map I have a Cisco router that connects to two HP switches and only lets me show the information of only one link, but if I want to add a second link to be shown on the map, it will not let me do it. |
Comment by Anh Quoc Bui [ 2019 Jul 02 ] |
7 years and do you have any update? |
Comment by Aldin Osmanagić [ 2019 Nov 26 ] |
It is possible to draw multiple links between two hosts on the map with a workaround. You need to upload a transparent image that will be used to route links via a different path. Recently I have migrated maps from Weathermap to Zabbix and wrote a tutorial on how to do that: https://bestmonitoringtools.com/create-zabbix-maps-with-examples/ You can use that workaround until this feature is implemented.

Description |
Currently, system.cpu.util[] on Windows supports only type "system", like so: "system.cpu.util[,system,avg15]". First of all, this is incorrect, because system time is time that an operating system spends for its own purposes. Anyway, it would be nice to support other types like "user", "idle", "iowait", if possible. |
Comments |
Comment by Kim Jongkwon [ 2022 Feb 17 ] |
The current system.cpu.util[] in Windows - from Performance counter: "Processor(_Total)% Processor Time" In Windows, Performance counters are not provided like Linux platforms. Windows has a different concept from CPU resources provided by Linux OS. This feature request needs discussion about which is the "what is correct values" for Windows. but I think there is probably no correct answer for this right now. |

Description |
event timeline would be a great feature. zabbix event timeline could show event duration as lines and their endpoints as events (and maybe midpoints for unknown flapping ?). clicking on endpoints would provide a popup with major event details and access to other screens (full event details, graphs/data for related items etc). acknowledged events would be visually different from non-acknowledged events (check mark ?). clicking on the line would provide a popup with a list of all involved events. it should be possible to select scale for the timeline. timeline does not invalidate event list view - it should be possible to use on the same screen timeline and time period slider, as well as see current event list. it should be possible to hide any of these three elements individually. might also be coupled with graphs, showing graph below the timeline. goes together with improved event filter |

Description |
While it is true that in the large environments we usually wish to monitor for problems, in small environments we might wish to be inventive and also monitor for positive, interesting events. Consider the following two scenarios: (1) Suppose we have a self-made bank account. When financial resources come in, a log entry is written to a file. So whenever that happens, it is good news and we wish to be alerted. (2) Suppose we run a small advertisement business and we have a huge printer. It takes a lot of time to print a poster, maybe on the order of hours. Using SNMP, we wish to monitor the printer for activity and be alerted when it has finished printing, so that we can immediately start a new printing task and we do not have to check the printer ourselves every now and then. It is possible to receive alerts on such events using everything we have in Zabbix right now. Namely, we would create triggers and define alerts. The problem is that the only way to receive repeated alerts based on triggers is to have triggers in the PROBLEM state, but in neither of the two scenarios above the events we wish to monitor for are problems. We could use the existing mechanisms, but the "good" PROBLEM triggers would interfere wish "real problem" PROBLEM triggers. Scenario (1) can be solved, for instance, by either (a) introducing an ability to receive alerts whenever a new value comes in or (b) allow triggers to generate multiple OK events. Unsure about what to do about scenario (2), but it might or might not be related to |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jun 18 ] |
well, both could actually be solved by creating a couple of triggers |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Sep 01 ] |
to clarify, these should be doable already : 1) have log monitored and enable multiple TRUE events (trigger could just check for .* or so). |
Comment by James Wells [ 2010 Sep 01 ] |
Greetings, #1 above is actually pretty simple to do using a last(0)>prev(0) construct. This would generate an threshold violation when resources were increased, clear when resources were withdrawn or remained the same as the previous value. The only real issue with this is that it will show up as a problem. As Rich states it is simply overcoming a normal mental block about what a problem is. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2010 Sep 02 ] |
Unfortunately, a trigger like prev(0)>last(0) does not work. Consider that the amount of dollars in our bank account sequentially takes on the following values: $0 The trigger will fire when we get $200, spend $100, and get $200 again. However, since triggers cannot generate multiple OK events, we will not be alerted when the balance in our bank account increases to $500. So one of the solutions is to write a trigger like last(0)>-INFINITY and set it to generate multiple problem events. The trigger will then always be in the problem state. As conscientious administrators, we want our network to always be in a perfect state, without any problems, so we never want to have problem triggers appearing in our GUI. To clarify, the issue is not that alerts in such cases are technically impossible (they are possible), but rather that we do not usually call +$50 in our bank account a problem. Yes, we could live with the fact that both "good" problem triggers and "bad" problem triggers coexist in our GUI, but it would be nice if the design of Zabbix would not require us to do so. |

Description |
this request as a continuation of the After I worked intensively with the monitoring of Windows events log, I decided to write a few serious request. This is the first of them In most cases it is meant that the selected multiple items for display, but not only. It would be useful at the bottom of the table to add statistics on how many lines from each items was displayed. Also another problem: Set a limit of 1000. I propose to consider the proposal - to make individual requests for each item selected in the list. And set limit 1000 for each items individualy and not for all together. Also very useful would be to add the ability to sort by user not only on the field "id", as well as the "clock" and "timestamp". And sometimes really, really need to see how events actually occur on the Host in real order with several journals simultaneously. Possibility of manualy user sorting by "clock" and "timestamp" should help in this. Sorry for my english |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jul 07 ] |
these issues will be very hard to work on, because too many things are piled in them. numbered summaries would be helpful... in this case : 1. in log monitoring, showing stats for each added log would be useful (how many lines from each); |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jul 07 ] |
...and my take on some of them 3. regarding this suggestion, it could cause problems - this limit is for performance reasons, and making it per item could result in lots and lots of data to be displayed. additionally, it might increase sql query count (just a guess) |

If repository is in Oracle with Data Guard, the patch allows to automatically reconnect to the database after switchover/failover. Also tnsnames may be stored in LDAP catalog. AFAIK EZCONNECT does not provide such functions. |
Comment by Mikhail Grigorev [ 2019 Oct 16 ] |
Hi, zabbix developers! We use zabbix on oracle database 12c and use this patch, I prepared a finished patch file for the zabbix master branch, please review and accept it in the main branch. The patch is correct and works without problems. Using a connection through tnsnames is a more flexible and proper way to ensure high availability of zabbix. Thank's. |

I'm looking into using zabbix_sender right now and ran into the problem that the "allowed hosts" field doesn't seem to verify the input. One can for example enter "fdksfsl" and zabbix will happily accept that value. Zabbix should return an error when it cannot parse the input. Also one should be able to enter a subnet like e.g. 192.168.2.0/24 so that you can re-use the item on multiple systems without having to modify the allowed hosts for each individual system. |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jun 29 ] |
"fdksfsl" might be a hostname, actually as for subnets, that's a feature request -> moved. |
Comment by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn [ 2010 Jul 02 ] |
Indeed that could be a hostname However "192.168.2.0/24x" is also accepted and that is most certainly not a valid input. Given that this is security related the validation should be pedantic and really only allow input that zabbix does understand. |

We recently migrated our server to another machine and distro. The previous combo was OpenSuSE 11.1 w Zabbix 1.8.2, the new system is CentOS 5.5 w Zabbix 1.8.2. In the process LDAP binds broke. I am receiving error messages saying: I will open other bugs with regards to the other parts that are now broken. Needless to say I cannot log in to change the LDAP configuration because I cannot bind to ldap to check credentials... This is a Chicken and Egg problem. (Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?) It would be nice to have the ability for anonymous binds to LDAP. |

Actually it tries to bind anonymously but it fails. Try to connect to ldap from that server by some other tool. |

My IT department think it's absurd to need a particular user as a bind DN with a password to be able to use LDAP on Zabbix. I'm inclined to agree. Is this issue getting any attention? |

Description |
Our Zabbix environment is setup so that all of our servers have multiple templates applied to them, one is generic and one is specific for the application of the server. In one instance, we have an alert rule created to send notifications to a particular group of users, these users do not need to receive alerts from the generic templates, only from the specific application template. We have setup the condition to alert <> generic_template. This results in no notifications going out on any server, because all of the servers have this template; however, the alert is being generated for the application template, and therefore, should send out a notification. The workflow should be intellegent enough to note which template is generating the alert and to act accordingly; not apply a blanket condition to the host. |

Comment by Brett Lentz [ 2010 Jun 09 ] |
Michael is my co-worker. We're working on the same issue. Let me clarify the issue a bit... We have an action that has this: Hostgroup = foo The expected behavior is that this action will be used for all alerts except from the triggers in Template_bar. However, what is happening is that this alert used for all hosts that do not have Template_bar. From a high level, we're an organization that has two different groups. We want group A to receive alerts from the triggers in most templates. We want group B to receive alerts from the triggers in a few select templates on a few select hosts, and not the rest. So... either this is a bug in the way the logic of actions work or this is a problem where the documentation does not clearly describe what the action logic does. |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jul 08 ] |
so the action condition does not check where the trigger comes from, but what templates are linked to the host. maybe it should be split in two conditions, "trigger template" and "host template" |

Presently there is no way to log into a Zabbix system configured to use LDAP should the LDAP connection fail. Other programs setup a "fallback" login which is used to log into the system with the same credentials as the administrator should LDAP fail for whatever reason. Needless to say, LDAP is failing to work with my Zabbix instance and since I'm configured to use LDAP I cannot log in to change the LDAP settings. The only way around this is to directly manipulate the confg db table. |

wouldn't this be somewhat like setting login for zabbix administrators group to be internal ? |
Comment by Marc Schoechlin [ 2011 Jun 20 ] |
We use basic-auth managed by the webserver. We configure apache to do ldap auth and auth via "htpasswd" (Apache: Satisfy any). Zabbix should be capable use more authentication-sources in parallel. |
Comment by Murat Koç [ 2013 May 01 ] |
Caching credentials mechanism can be implemented in zabbix ldap authentication like pam-ccreds or winbind does. owncloud has a nice ldap authentication mechanism (which also coded in php) with backup ldap server and caching credentials options. http://doc.owncloud.org/server/5.0/admin_manual/configuration/auth_ldap.html |
Comment by Yannick Moussette [ 2014 Jul 03 ] |
Is this feature request still valid? You can set up a user group with "frontend access" set to internal, and this will allow you to use a local, zabbix account to log in, bypassing the LDAP authentication for any users part of that group. G. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jul 03 ] |
this is slightly different - internal always uses zabbix db, this asks for "try ldap first, if that fails, fallback to internal" |

Description |
The "...local.yaml" docker-compose files offer a way to build working Zabbix environments from scratch in a very easy manner - by firing a single command. In many companies there is no direct internet access available. Instead one has to use a HTTP proxy. Unfortunately it's not just about adding some "*_proxy" environment variables as the SVN protocol cannot be tunneled out-of-the-box through an HTTP proxy. |

Description |
Actually using vmware.hv.discovery only allows to put the discovered hosts in static groups or in group prototypes defined at the template level. We currently monitor lots of customers, each customer has his own group. What I would like to do is to place each customer hypervisors in the existing customer group. Currently this is not possible unless you stop using the templates and configure each vCenter with his own static group. Having lots (hundreds) of vCenters this is not the best way to go... If only the group was "unlocked" once the template is applied I could set the correct group |
Comments |
Comment by Nicola Mauri [ 2017 Jan 21 ] |
I had the same issue. As a workaround you can move the necessary Discovery rules to a new template. This template can be lately unlinked from vcenter host (without cleaning) making possibile to include Host prototypes in static hostgroups. This way you can limit the number of objects that are not linked to templates. |
Comment by Cristian Mammoli [ 2017 Jan 21 ] |
Thanks for the hint, but that's not a solution imho... |
Comment by Stephen Jefferson [ 2018 Sep 20 ] |
Same issue as original description. We are an MSP with hundreds of clients, each with their own host group. Need some way of assigning the discovered objects to the parent esx host's groups, enabling discovery objects to work with the Auto registration rules as all the esx hosts will be discovered by client aligned proxies, or worst case unlock the group for manual assignment, although that's not preferable. |
Comment by Roberto Cremasco [ 2019 Jul 16 ] |
Looks like you can't do anything with prototypes: no groups, no tags, no macros... this feature would be really useful. |

Comment by Cristian Mammoli [ 2022 May 24 ] |
I hacked a Javascript preprocessing rule to add a user macro as a LLD macro: Define as {$VMWARE.GROUP} as the group to add the Hypervisors to and configure the following preproc to the discovery item json = JSON.parse(value); if (("{$VMWARE.GROUP}".length) && ! ("{$VMWARE.GROUP}".match(/^\{\$/))) { json.forEach(function (data, i) { json[i]["{#HV.GROUP}"] = "{$VMWARE.GROUP}"; }); }; return(JSON.stringify(json)); Unfortunately the host group must not exist beforehand |
Comment by Felix [ 2023 Nov 14 ] |
Is this feature still not implemented after five years? Zabbix is absolutely awesome and we are going to implement it as a MSP, same use case as Stephan Jefferson, however this is a bit of a disappointment for structuring our host groups properly. I can't seem to figure out how to dynamically set the VMware Hypervisor and VM hostgroups based on a pre-defined host group macro before running the low-level discovery. For now the only 'easy' solution seems to be to manually create a VMware template per customer? since it is possible to set the hostgroup for LLD host prototypes manually per template to already existing groups. However this to be a very inefficient way of managing things, because you'd then have hundreds of templates only for VMware. If anybody else here has a good idea of how to workaround this limitation I would appreciate the feedback! |

It is impossible to troubleshoot problem generation and closing issues without resorting to developer methods:
When encountering these errors with a trapper item that I had created for testing I had to resort to debug level logs, GDB, looking into SQL dirrectly to find out the root causes of the issues above. This is not practical in production and is unfriendly to the users. Hence it is proposed to trace decisions for each event as it passes through Zabbix and show the trace in frontend accordingly. |

Description |
This issue covers low-connection-number-high-data-throughput cases (namely sender -> server/proxy, active agent -> server/proxy, proxy -> server communications). Related issue for high-connection-number-low-data-throughput cases is ZBXNEXT-3214. Initially both agent and proxy were designed to send same data multiple times until they would get a reply that data reached destination and was processed. Then Neither of these approaches is ideal. When client fully relies on TCP implementation data may be lost if server hits timeout when reading data from TCP buffer or even earlier if something bad happens on TCP implementation level. When client always waits for reply from server there is a possibility of hitting timeout on client side if server is busy. This leads to data retransmission by client and reprocessing by server which makes it really complicated for Zabbix to recover from network downtimes. Ideally client should send a short request message and wait for server to respond before sending data itself. Server response should contain an estimate of how much data it will be able to process. Client should send the desired amount of data and wait for server to confirm that data was successfully received and processed. This involves changes to Zabbix protocols. Since daemons will be spending more time communicating (or waiting for replies) timeouts will need some adjustment. This will negatively affect performance, so it's worth implementing a sort of connection manager at the same time. |

It makes sense to process active agent's history to prevent possible data loss because we can't be sure about agent version and whether it will resend data or no. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Aug 07 ] |
Actually, active agent does not change it's behaviour in case of no response from server, after it times out it keeps creating new connections and sending data. In case of overloaded trappers this may lead to anything from complete loss of data stored in agent's buffer (if trappers die before accepting agents connections) to parallel and potentially out-of-order processing of data by multiple trappers (if trappers manage to accept connections sooner or later). The latter is a root cause of |

Description |
It would be great to have some feature like servers added in one particular group (let's say "Production") should get automatically added in IT services. So we will not miss out any server from adding in IT services that has already been added in Monitoring. What we only require to fill up some fields like "Parent Service", "Acceptable SLA" and "Trigger". |

What's the envisioned scope, would this affect hosts added by all means (manually through the frontend, server from discovery/autoreg, XML import...)? |

At http://www.zabbix.com/download.php agent binaries should be provided for Solaris 10 on the amd64 architecuture and Solaris 11 on the sparc architecture. Currently we are able to run the Solaris 10 sparc binary on Solaris 11 sparc without noticing any issues so far, but a specific binary would seem safer. Meanwhile the Solaris 11 amd64 binary appears to crash on Solaris 10 amd64, so this is of more concern. If needed I can provide the log output shortly before it crashes, but it would seem likely a binary compiled against Solaris 10 amd64 may not crash in this manner. |

With the 2.0.4 release there are agents for Solaris 10 on both sparc and amd64 architectures, which is great to see. So now the title of this issue should really be 'Provide Agent binaries for Solaris 11 sparc', and the description edited as such; I can't see a way to make such an edit. |

An ops guy goes to click on the map and they see 45 pages of triggers. that are ok or problem. In order to find the unknown you must go through most of the pages to find it. We need to have a filter for Unknown/Problem/Any. I found a short term workaround in the tr_status.php. $table->setHeader(array( Now at least i can sort on the status column and get the unknown on either the first page or last. |

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2014 Mar 19 ] |
One more point - if add the description field, then I'd suggest in frontend rename "Name" to for example "Alias". Because it's not just name which can be freely changed any time. It's a resource which used as reference in other places. For example we use this term ("Alias") in user's profile. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Mar 19 ] |
nonono. the "alias" in user properties must be renamed to "user name", it is really weird naming there. and for regexps we should not change name to alias either - long term we should have some proper validation, thus changing global regexp name would not be a breaking operation (maybe when all api is in server...) |

I also have items with triggers, but the graph doesn't change its color according to the threshold values in the trigger. |
Comment by Adam French [ 2020 May 01 ] |
I also would like to see this feature as I monitor CPU temperatures for some of our kit, and it would be nice to have the line go red when it exceeds a set value, and I believe something to how the overrides work, whereby you can change an aspect of the graph but based on a condition. For example: Base Colour = xyz, when item value is greater than x etc Adding this as an extra tab to the graph options (Probably after the override tab) would be best, rather than forcing it on for everyone, since some people may not want this feature, but having it as an option and being able to configure a colour for a given condition would probably cater for most people who want this. |

Hi, it would be a great feature if the Zabbix GUI could provide the feature to upload enterprise MIBs and make the enterprise OIDs useable in Zabbix, not only by numbers but also in human readable form. This could the done via a separate administration entry in the GUI uploading the MIBs in question. Zabbix should check the syntax, store the data in ~/.snmp/mibs/ in the snmp.conf of the Zabbix process the GUI could add: In a more sophisticated step you could add a complete MIB management to Zabbix.

What exactly is meant by [...]make the enterprise OIDs useable [...]? Without considerable effort in development, I believe an upload option for MIB files in Zabbix frontend might only make sense, when frontend and server run on the same host and no proxy should make use of uploaded mibs. |

fping detection, introduced in 1.8.4, helps a lot - but there are some improvements still possible. 1. currently each pinger process detects fping capabilities separately - might be more efficient if server (or proxy) did that one upon startup and then just pass the result to all pinger processes. |

We have a lot of items which we like to trend but don't show up very well if set to "delta (speed per second)". For example, after application launches we'll often see an error rate of several per MINUTE, which averages out to less than 1 per second and therefor doesn't graph very well. I wish we also had:
I think at those resolutions we'd be able to monitor and trigger on items for which "speed per second" isn't the right granularity. |
Comments |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2011 Jan 17 ] |
While there is no option for "speed per minute" setting the item multiplier to 60 should probably solve your problem. |
Comment by Will Lowe [ 2011 Jan 17 ] |
Thanks. We've actually tried this, but it seems there's a rounding error somewhere. It looks like Zabbix calculates this as: value_delta = current_value - last_value time_delta = current_value_timestamp - last_value_timestamp speed_per_second = int( value_delta / time_delta ) // values > 1 become 0 plotted_value = speed_per_second * multiplier ... so in many cases it comes out as 0. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2011 Jan 18 ] |
You are right, Zabbix calculates the value as you described. We will see how this can be improved, but for now setting the item value type to "Numeric (float)" instead of "Numeric (unsigned)" should make it work. |

Allow the user to use a datepicker to select an arbitrary date range to display the IT Services period. The datepicker would replace the current (as of 1.8.3) period drop-down menu. The Zoom GUI control from the Graphs would do the job quite nicely. This request is similar to ZBXNEXT-25, but I think it's a much more flexible and sustainable solution. As I'm sure it's the case in many organizations, I need to provide monthly, quarterly and yearly SLA reports. Right now, unless I stay up until 23:59 of the last day of the month and select "last 30 days" in the period drop-down (and hope it's a 30-day month!) I need to do complex manipulations to get the data. |

Sad thing that it does NOT log to audit log too. (host group deletion, used in a condition). Interesting that an audit message "Action disabled due to deletion of user." will be actually logged. UPDATE on 2023-10-26, using version 6.4.5. User "udel" is used in "Report problems to Zabbix administrators del" action. It happens also if the user/group is not the only recipient in the action, which is weird actually is wrong behavior. |
Comment by dimir [ 2019 Sep 27 ] |
Showing something in frontend wouldn't help when using API. I suggest not allowing to delete something that is referenced in action condition. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2023 Oct 26 ] |
Just confirming that using version 6.4.5 a host deletion silently disables the action and does not leave any sign in audit log too. |
Comment by Michael Wery [ 2024 Feb 01 ] |

Comment by dimir [ 2024 Feb 01 ] |
There is already a reference check in the API: All that needs to be done is instead of disabling an action return an error. Thanks to gcalenko for checking it. |

trigger (and elsewhere) function date() could be expanded. currently it only returns date in YYYYMMDD format, which does not allow, for example, easily comparing something like date()<14 ideally it would accept format specifiers in the parameters, not unlike 'date' commandline utility |

what would date()<14 do ? ok, so accepting format specifiers would be the goal |
Comment by Jacco Mol [ 2019 Apr 01 ] |
Im monitoring monthly payments and have an alert on a minimum of those. Subscriptions can be started on any date and are extended every month. But as February only has 29 (or 28) days, the next month (March) on the 30th and 31th there are very little payments. I would therefore like to not have this alert trigger on the last days of March. Currently there is no Monthofyear trigger function, I would like to suggest either adding that or implementing this very flexible date format function which would allow me to use date('MMDD')<>'0330'. |

Description |
The zabbix agent native interface provides information whether the key is being supported or not outputting ZBX_NOTSUPOPRTED string to the zabbix server, which then reacts to the information and temporarily disables the key check for that particular host. This funcionality does not seem to be implemented for external checks - keys calling external scripts in externalscripts directory. This is a very nice to have feature. We do have Oracle, Weblogic and LUSTRE fs monitoring implemented in Zabbix, however we would really appreciate to have this feature enabled in zabbix server. |
Comments |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2010 Oct 22 ] |
As a workaround, you can make the script output nothing - in that case the external check will be treated as not supported. |
Comment by Marcel Hecko [ 2010 Oct 22 ] |
Great indeed! There is a secion in Zabbix documentation thought, that script should NEVER output nothing. This might be changed as this is a very important information In my case this solves the issue, however ZBX_UNSUPPORTED output recognition would be a benefit in zabbix monitoring infrastructure consistency. Thanks for a great work! |

Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Aug 25 ] |
maybe arrows could be added to legend, or some other way to identify axis (only visible if two axis are used) |
Comment by Dave [ 2011 Feb 03 ] |
Even just a text box on the graph configuration screen to allow the user to enter units for each of the Y axes. For example, Y1: processors, Y2: Jobs or Y1: megabytes, Y2: Processes. Essentially just 2 strings, one that is printed vertically at the left of the graph and one that gets printed on the right side. It's generally obvious by the series label which axis it applies to if the axes are labelled with units. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Feb 10 ] |
I would say it would be AWESOME improvement |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Feb 12 ] |
Take a look to an attached picture "better_axis.png" Several ideas suggested. Main goal - an user should NOT to look to the legend AT ALL to understand which value for which axis. Would be happy to hear your opinion |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2012 Mar 03 ] |
I am not happy about proposed designs. Think about stacked graphs and graphs with disabled legend. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Mar 03 ] |
while on the one hand disabling the legend is kinda "you asked for it" situation, 3rd design by zalex takes care of that. the problem is that it's extremely cryptic and wouldn't really work if we don't have values go to the edge of the graph. stacked graphs... now i got confused. i might be slower than usual, but what's the point of left/right axis for a stacked graph ? (except the ability to specify on which side the axis should be) - i would expect the axis to be exactly the same, thus this issue shouldn't apply there. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Mar 04 ] |
> the problem is that it's extremely cryptic and wouldn't really work if we don't have values go to the edge of the graph. I totally agree with Rich's opinion about stacked graph. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Mar 11 ] |
here's my take one possible approaches, showing axis usage in the legend. second one shows darker sign, but attached to the coloured box - in one case, it's filled, in another it's empty. if filled, it could be in the colour of the box border or contents. <zalex> Interesting options, thanks. Maybe for the legend it could be better solution than my suggestion. <richlv> the benefit of having this in the legend is that it is always visible if legend is enabled and it is always denoted in the same location - user doesn't have to scan whole length of both axis and try to match coloured bit to some line in the graph itself. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 May 02 ] |
note that we already are displaying axis side for percentile legend, although i dislike this way and it would be more terrible with items and triggers (longer names, easier to mix up identification with the name itself) |
Comment by Chris Kistner [ 2013 Sep 22 ] |
Did someone by any chance write a patch yet for this - to like show arrows next to the block to indicate on which axis it is displayed? Otherwise I'm going to attempt to write a patch for 1.8 (because our system is still on 1.8) when I have time again... |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Sep 27 ] |
I'm not PHP programmer, but don't have more patience to wait as it affects my everyday's work ... Bellow are 3 different variants, according to 3 different patches: All 3 patches include a change for percentiles legend - suffix "left|right" is removed but the arrow will have different direction (instead of just up). Short description of differences: To apply one of the patch, cd to frontend directory and do: # patch -p0 < ZBXNEXT-932-axes_N.patch |

Comment by Kristian Rønningen [ 2019 Jul 05 ] |
I personally prefer the idea of drawing the lines a bit outside of the graph box, crossing the Y axis they belong to. I think it gives the viewer a more instant idea of what belongs where, without needing to look at the legend at all. |

We may also consider introducing more conditions for the nodata() functions, such as server/proxy is lost or not. The "Proxy is alive" sounds like a too broad definition to me. |

What I am searching for, is the same for the screens, so I can reduce the amount of information shown on the TVs. Is this possible? I already tried to use Type "URL" in screens and linked to "Monitoring - Triggers" but that looks a lot worse than "Host Group Issues" Thank you! |

Thanks for the answer, but that was then, things maybe different now? I don't see why the Events tab would need to be changed that much to display internal events, but I'm more interested in being able to display all unsupported items, which from my point of view should probably be displayed in the Triggers tab. It is really great that we can get an email when an item becomes unsupported, but it would be even nice if we could view all unsupported items. |

That view is awesome! The only thing it's missing is to be able to filter by maintenance status. Zabbix could really use a web front-end overhaul. It has so many great features which are hard to find, or never even discovered. |

I'd appreciate to optionally see internal events in a chronological order with proper filter functionality. This helps to see what recently happened without the need to create actions that fire lots of operations just to get this information. Beside the fact that it sounds a little bit cumbersome to use e.g. MUA filter functions to query recent internal events, the alerter is due to lack of |

Inclusion in "Monitoring -> Events -> Source: Internal" would be awesome |
Comment by James Kirsop [ 2019 Oct 10 ] |
This forum thread presents a good use case why it would be helpful to have this UI feature added. Not having an easy way of viewing internal events means that problems with monitoring hosts and triggers on hosts themselves can't easily be identified and cleaned up, leading to other related issues. |

Comment by sbindley [ 2018 Feb 23 ] |
I think it's because of this https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-5687 issue that is closed and won't be fixed? It would be good to go ahead and create the graph and truncate the name at 128 characters, then instead of showing in the info column in the discovery rule that a graph was not created because of the length, that it was created but the name truncated. That way you at least get the graph without having to go create it manually with a shorter name. Changing the column length doesn't do anything, it's coded somewhere to check the length and reject it over 128 characters. |
Comment by Billy Farrington [ 2020 Aug 31 ] |
We're in the process of implementing Zabbix across our network. Currently we have 1000+ devices in Zabbix with 8000+ more planned, and we're running into this specific issue. Going through thousands of devices and renaming interfaces to fit within the 128 character limit is a hard stop for us for two reasons: 1. It would negatively impact several departments who use these interface names to identify circuits 2. It would be a massive undertaking to log into all of these devices and rename interfaces, which defeats the purpose of LLD.
Manually identifying missing graphs and creating them by hand is equally problematic. Ideally these graphs could be added with a truncated name, as suggested by sbindley. We will have to consider alternative solutions without it. Having looked at the source briefly it appears this is limited by GRAPH_NAME_LEN within include/db.h as well as the name column width in the database table definition. For now I'm going to do some experimentation and see what kind of issues we run into with increasing these values, but an official solution would be perferred. |

Comment by Billy Farrington [ 2020 Sep 01 ] |
Thanks. I had found include/schema.inc.php already but not the other one. I decided instead that it might be easier to come at the problem before it gets there. It's an ugly hack, but I'm working on having it truncate the initial snmp query response for ifAlias before it gets passed in. That way it avoids the character limit issue. |
Comment by Josh Rogers [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
@Billy, I'm interested in your stop-gap solution of truncating the ifalias. Were you able to get that working, and can you provide patch files? |
Comment by Billy Farrington [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
@Josh, yes and no. Yes I was able to get it working and it has been doing well ever since, but no I don't recall exactly what it was I had done to resolve this particular error. I've made a bunch of other changes and added new views and API extensions since then to better suit our needs, so it's a bit hard to tell what is original and what isn't at this point. I'll do some poking around in it and see if anything refreshes my memory. |
Comment by Billy Farrington [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
Looks like what I ended up doing was in /src/libs/zbxdbhigh/host.c and /src/libs/zbxdbhigh/lld_graph.c I checked the length of the graph name and truncated it if necessary right before the insert and update queries are generated. Someone else could very likely do a better job of it than I have, and it should be using the value from dbschema.c instead of a hard-coded length. I simply cut off the end and added a '...' to indicate that it was truncated. Obviously use this info at your own risk. /src/libs/zbxdbhigh/host.c:
if (strlen(name_esc) > 127) { char *nCpy = malloc(sizeof(char) * 124); strncpy(nCpy, name_esc, 124); strcat(nCpy, "..."); strcpy(name_esc, nCpy); } zbx_snprintf_alloc(&sql, &sql_alloc, &sql_offset, "insert into graphs" " (graphid,name,width,height,yaxismin,yaxismax,templateid," "show_work_period,show_triggers,graphtype,show_legend," "show_3d,percent_left,percent_right,ymin_type,ymax_type,"

Description |
Big environments sometimes can be a big pain to manage, especially when management is performed by hand. To save mental health and make life easier when investigating cases like two or more active agents with the same name simultaneously sending data to Zabbix server, I propose implementing an IP based authentication. It definitely isn't a security feature, but rather an additional handy restriction to remain in control. This approach is applicable when host connectivity is configured using ip address, not domain name. IP authentication should be optional. When enabled, all direct connections (proxy-server connections must not be affected) from active agents are to be compared against ip address specified in host configuration/agent inteface. In case of mismatched addresses connection should be gracefully rejected. Similar approach should also be implemented to protect trapper items. I'm aware of "Allowed hosts" field existence in trapper item configuration, but it doesn't really work when trapper items are templated due to Examples of connection rejects in server/agent log: Failed attempt to request active checks list: Failed attempt to send data: I'm attaching a basic proof-of-concept-patch for 1.8.14. It unconditionally checks for matching ip addresses in host configuration-remote client pair, and rejects disallowed connections for active agent items and trappers. |

With zabbix 2.0 you introduced the ability for administration scripts to be run on the agent. As far as I understand zabbix trapper functionality is used for this feature, making it mandatory to have a direct connection to the agent port. This is great for agents and server in the same network, but with agents behind a NAT, zabbix trapper cannot be used and there is no possibility to run scripts on the host on demand. There could be a configurable timeout. When running this type of script, a dialog would stay opened with a message like "Waiting for agent to pickup script command..." and change into an error if the server was not contacted by the agent in the specified timeout. |

Comment by Ivan Vanyushkin [ 2016 Sep 27 ] |
Is there any workaround to export template with item/trigger prototypes, in case of linked discovery rules? I need to move my new item/trigger prototypes to other Zabbix server, but I see no way to export them. |
Comment by Robin Roevens [ 2020 Feb 07 ] |
This does not only apply to item/trigger prototypes but also on overrides of normal items/triggers. For example:
I've read that this is currently as designed but I think this is quite a flaw. When you export a configuration, you expect that it gets exported exactly as it is configured. We also have 2 zabbix environments : dev and prod .. with an automatic export to git on dev and an automatic import from git to prod.. But now it turns out that those changes do not get exported .. so are not tracked in git and thus not imported in prod. Which currently even makes a few template imports fail due to overrides that should prevent conflicts are not exported.. If Zabbix wants their templates to be truly modular and world shareable, I think this issue should be addressed asap. As the only solution now is to start duplicating templates and/or integrating templates into each other to be able to define such overrides. Meanwhile, I think the GUI at least should display a big fat warning that such things as changes on inherited items/triggers or discoveries won't be exported. As well as in de API documentation of configuration.export. |
Comment by Grant Ashton [ 2020 Feb 07 ] |
Completely agree with @robinr We have the same issue, as templates are distributed via git. So overrides to inherited LLD or normal items/triggers do not get exported. The workaround, we use, to this is unlinking but not clearing the template, but this means items/triggers are essentially duplicated. So this makes maintenance a nightmare, as we have to track this duplication. This is a fundamental flaw in the export/import design. Essentially ruining the major benefit of template inheritance |
Comment by Patrice Gautier [ 2020 Nov 18 ] |
Another vote to fix this. This limitation completely destroys the usefulness of the template inheritance concept, since there really is no clean way to transport the hierarchy to another system. Distributing those templates to other people via git is also a non starter
|
Comment by Chris Brookes [ 2021 Mar 22 ] |
Adding another vote. That the additional item & trigger prototypes are missing in an export of the child template is a) causing us lots of headaches, and b) going against reasonable expectations. |
Comment by Bogdan Rudas [ 2021 Apr 27 ] |
Configuration loss during template export and import is awful. While entire mechanics of inheritance is acceptable, any modern deployment need a staging environments for monitoring system. It is absolutely impossible neither do an automation nor manually move templates between hosts once we are using something added to Zabbix after 1.4.x series in templates. |
Comment by Pierre Fagrell [ 2021 Jul 24 ] |
This really hinders adoption of Zabbix with multiple servers. If we want to export templates from one server and import on another we cannot use inheritance and overrides at all. Adding item prototypes to inherited discovery rules does not work either. I really hope this can be fixed. |
Comment by Mathew [ 2022 Apr 19 ] |

Hi, For any number of reasons you might want a value not to be taken into account in the calculation. This can be accomplished by updating the item using the API, but this can be not flexible enough in some situation, because wrong values might be used in the calculation before the formula is updated. I would like to have condition possibility in a calculated item. This allows us to ignore values of a certain item when the value of another item has a certain value (eg: state == "maintenance" or value > 100000). |

Comment by richlv [ 2012 Mar 01 ] |
what's your definition of "inactive" ? |
Comment by Kleber Vinicius de Carvalho Domingues [ 2012 Mar 01 ] |
Hosts that are some time without answering Zabbix Server requests. This is the opposite of Auto Discovery. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Mar 02 ] |
"Remove host" operation is available for Discovery's actions. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Mar 11 ] |
as mentioned, if you are using network discovery, you can use host removal operation; i don't think there's going to be anything more specific implemented -> closing |

Comment by Rob Langley [ 2013 Sep 08 ] |
I'm currently using Auto Registration for load balanced servers I'm starting and stopping with Amazon's AWS auto scaling feature. So what would be useful is an operation to Disable Host after xx mins, then 'Delete Host' after xxx mins For example when the server is terminated it could be disabled after 60 mins, then deleted after 240 mins. |
Comment by Ionut Cadariu [ 2015 Mar 28 ] |
@Rob, If you have found a way to deal with that type of issues please respond since I'm looking for a way to automatically remove hosts that are no longer available from zabbix. Thank you |
Comment by TonyFu [ 2015 Apr 14 ] |
@Ionut Cadariu, I've rencently write a script with python to delete unactive hosts periodly. Call for zbx json-rpc with groupid, we get the status of hosts, then we can decide disable them after specific time and delete them. My zabbix version is 2.2.4, if you're interested, post an email:[email protected] to me. |
Comment by JamesH [ 2015 Apr 14 ] |
I'm using zabbix_sender called from the zabbix_agent init script upon shutdown to trigger a server-side API call which disables the host. Then a server-side script runs periodically and deletes disabled hosts greater than X days old through the API. It's working for us but I'd like to see this functionality built-in as ephemeral hosts is becoming more widespread. |
Comment by Matt [ 2015 Jun 24 ] |
@James Hammett What is the syntax to send the disable signal for zabbix_sender??? I've been searching Google for the past 1.5 hours trying to find exactly that key and value and the best I've found is your comment saying you've done it... PLEASE reply. PLEASE. M. |
Comment by JamesH [ 2015 Jun 26 ] |
Google is no help as I haven't seen anyone else tackle this problem. I created an item named "disable-host" and I have zabbix_sender send the name of the host to it upon shutdown. I created a trigger that triggers upon each update of "disable-host". That triggers an action that runs a server-side script that hits the API disabling the host. Lots of moving parts but 100% reliable so far. Right now I'm working toward making this all work with Docker containers :^) |
Comment by richlv [ 2015 Jun 26 ] |
please consider using https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help for discussion, and maybe even writing a howto on zabbix.org |
Comment by Matt [ 2015 Jun 26 ] |
@JamesH Man, thank you. I am totally following what you are saying and am working on a Proof of Concept. I had gotten another idea working just late yesterday. 1) Wrote a "service": /etc/init.d/zabbix-disable-host
I decided on this way because if the node crashes and burns, it never sends the "disable" back so it will go unreachable (and in turn sound the alert) Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to get the date/time out of Zabbix when the node went disabled. This way we can retain usage history for the node for X days, then delete it. We don't want it deleted right away. Looking at the API docs, I don't see that Zabbix actually stores anywhere WHEN the node got / went disabled. :-\ M. |
Comment by Matt [ 2015 Jun 30 ] |
As a small follow up, it doesn't seem that Zabbix records the date/time a node was disabled. So what I do now in my "service" file (/etc/init.d/zabbix-disable-host) on stop:
Server side I scheduled a daily script to:

Description |
My company (2Keys.ca) would like to use Zabbix + JIRA to track service problems and their resolutions. The basic concept is that Zabbix will send an email alert to a support team and a JIRA mailbox, the mail will contain the usual alert info as well as info which JIRA would use to identify the issue and create/update/resolve a ticket. There are a couple of reasons why this is worth doing:
In addition to setting up JIRA (or bugzilla) to parse emails and create tickets using the email-to-ticket APIs, Zabbix will need to expose a couple of bits of data not currently available via macros: Please take a look at the attached patches which add the capability for #2 and incorporate them upstream and/or provide feedback. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Oct 18 ] |
to be really useful the mapping should be user configurable, though, as your jira priorities already are different from the ones used here |
Comment by Garth Dahlstrom [ 2011 Oct 18 ] |
@richlv... my bad, the stock JIRA priorities are supposed to map against the stock Zabbix severities (they do in the patch, I mistyped it in the original description)... Here's the corrected full mapping is: I do see in Trunk that the Zabbix values are now coming from the DB, and though it'd be a fair bit more work (changes to frontend + SQL), I'd be willing to undertake that work if you'll accept both the 1.8.x patch (as it is, since 1.8.x can't configure Zabbix severities anyway) and the new trunk patch once I've finished doing all the work. |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Oct 18 ] |
it is unlikely for new significant features to appear in 1.8 branch at this time, and unfortunately the 2.0 roadmap is pretty fixed (mostly just to ensure it gets released at all...), so i don't see patches being integrated soon. it would be mostly useful if the mapping was fully user customisable, as then it would also work with other trackers |
Comment by Garth Dahlstrom [ 2011 Oct 21 ] |
I've redone the patch against trunk with configurable mapping values found next to the severity configuration in Admin->General->Trigger Severity. This patch replaces the other ones... maybe it can go into Zabbix 2.1? |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Oct 24 ] |
oh, that's kinda awesome. while it's really hard to say what will happen after 2.0, this might be useful to get votes for to make it more visible to devs in the meanwhile, if you have the time, you could take a look at https://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/coding_style , maybe there's some minor detail to improve |

When you make Graphs destined for big screens in a NOC, the font that's hardcoded in Zabbix (i'm not a big fan of anything hardcoded) is just too small. The font for title, left, right and legend area should be fully adjustable in GUI and per graph. The fact that 1.9.x has an optional legend is already an major improvement but this should be looked into further. |

Comment by Timo Veith [ 2012 Dec 06 ] |
I second this. It would be great to see to which host or to which trigger a field belongs. It's not easy if the group of hosts that you have selected has a lot of members or/and if one host has a lot of triggers. If you click on a field you already get some info, but not the host name. Maybe the page rendering would be faster if the top labels wouldn't be images, but just text in html which is rotated by css maybe. |

btw, labels already are text instead of images in latest 2.0 (they were images because of msie6 support ) |

Hi, could you please add the media type SNMP trap in one of the next releases of Zabbix. It would be very nice to notify other NMS about events in Zabbix. For this you would perhaps have to apply for a enterprise number of the Zabbix project to generate specific traps. Thanks. Michael Schwartzkopff |

Hmm... Email, SMS and XMPP is somehow something most likely used individual-related. I believe it's not that common to have SNMP traps per (many) user(s). |
Comment by Dibyendu Paul [ 2016 Sep 21 ] |
@Marc It is not quite comprehensive how to create a custom alert script to send snmptraps for each triggers. How the input for each trigger will come to snmptrapd? Any new action to be defined for creating a trap for each trigger? Not clear at all. |
Comment by Dibyendu Paul [ 2016 Sep 21 ] |
This is one of the required functionality and so many requests were raised but still open since 2011! I wonder why! |

"not sure whether I understood you correctly. Zabbix allows to create a single action that escalates by a custom alertscript (sending a SNMP trap) by any trigger event - without having to specify triggers explicitly." ---> Didnt understand, could you elaborate? How to create a poll for the demand of this feature? |

When seeing the function regmatch I thought it was strange it would only return 0 or 1 when it would also be able to return the amount of occurences. http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20224 I think it would be useful to many (also other platforms than Linux) to have such a way to count the expressions in a file. the syntax is: regcount [-v] <file> <Eregexp>, [ <boolean whole file> ] It will parse the whole file if the 3rd parameter is 1 The 3rd parameter can also be higher than 1. In that case it means minutes. This is only useful for Linux logfiles and maybe not such a good idea to implement. It is however quite useful to me. #!/bin/bash ##################################################### # regcount # returns the occurences of a regular expression in # a file since its last run ##################################################### # Uses logtail & readlink # http://sourceforge.net/projects/logtail/ ##################################################### # echo 'zabbix ALL =(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/regcount' >>/etc/sudoers # # grep -iq 'UnsafeUserParameters' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf || sed -i -e 's/^Server.*/&\n\n# Allow regular expressions\nUnsafeUserParameters=1/' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf # # echo 'UserParameter=vfs.file.regcount[*],sudo /usr/local/sbin/regcount "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"' >>/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf ##################################################### # 08-12-2010 by Frater # # The 3rd parameter (minutes) is optional. # When 0 or empty, it will use 'logtail' which only checks the portion which hasn't been parsed before # When minutes is 1, it will take the whole file # When it's greater than 1, it will use 'lastmins' that will only output the last x minutes ##################################################### # Use at your own risk! ##################################################### export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin offset=/tmp/regcount. v= while getopts v name do case $name in v) v='-v ';; ?) printf "Usage: %s: [-v] <file> <Eregexp>, [ <boolean whole file> ]\n" $0 exit 2;; esac done shift $(($OPTIND - 1)) [ ! -h "$1" ] && [ ! -f "$1" ] && exit 1 # [ -z "$2" ] && exit 1 minutes=`echo "$3" | awk -F.

It would be nice to be able to drill down to the content of the Zabbix database, to see what is filling up the database, so we can make alterations to how often monitored items are stored.

so putting this in zabbix terms, you would like to have some items that give you idea what takes up space in database (databases ? tables ? whatever stats db engine may provide...) and then display them in a pie graph ? probably doable already, but requiring fair bit of configuration. a custom low level discovery in 2.0 might help to make this more automated |

hmm...not looking for items to do this, more like a frontend option, where clicking somewhere under "administration" would provide a drillable tree/pie graph, content of the graph could be gathered by the housekeeper |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Feb 24 ] |
it would be quite unmaintainable to have custom approach to every corner of zabbix - so mapping this to existing infrastructure would be quite critical. |
Comment by Gertjan Awater [ 2011 Feb 24 ] |
Then please map this to exisiting infrastructure. |

Description |
It would be highly desirable to be able to export the data used in creation of graphs as CSV format files, either as a button or drop down item. I imagine others might find use for XML or other formats but our needs are for CSV data files like our other monitoring/graphing software does. It came as quite a surprise that this isn't already a part of the system. |

FYI ZBXNEXT-731 |
Comment by Robert Healey [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
Note: This request differs from ZBXNEXT-731 in that we'd like to extract info from arbitrary graphs, not just the last data sampled. Example: Use a days worth of item samples to make a graph, then output the items plotted in the graph to a CSV to import into other apps/spreadsheets for planning/justification/issue reports etc. We do this all the time with our other monitoring packages and it would be great to do this with Zabbix as well. |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
would switching to "values" and clicking on "as plain text" work ? |
Comment by Robert Healey [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
Re: Switching to values. It still would leave Zabbix not doing something the other packages its being compared to have done for quite a while. |

The last screenshot, the right upper corner. |
Comment by Robert Healey [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
Thanks for the pointer Oleg! It's certainly closer to what we want/need but is still significantly different from what is produced by our other applications; i.e. manual cut/paste into a file, one item at a time rather than all graph data items at onces, etc. It would be nice to have the values/plain text option available somewhere on the actual graph page; our other apps have a button or dropdown on the graph page to output the data used by the graph in CSV/XML/Excel/etc. |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
if you are interested in bulk data export, check out the api |
Comment by Robert Healey [ 2013 Apr 24 ] |
It isn't so much bulk data export as getting data items, usually multiple items per single graph, from a particular graph saved in CSV format files. Our other platforms export it with a click from the graph area. It would be nice if Zabbix did as well, thus the feature request. All the other monitoring programs we use, both open source and proprietary/internal, have this. We were quite puzzled that Zabbix did not. |

Im finding this an issue data centre team moving from their existing tool cacti as they to extract the data for their reporting system. This is one of the final hurdles for them and hopefully we can be rid of cacti and be a zabbix only site. |

Comment by richlv [ 2015 Sep 08 ] |
just a reminder that values for a simple graph can be easily accessed from the graph page, dropdown in the upper right corner. also please note the discouragement of "me too" comments as per https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/bug_reporting_guidelines#Reporting_an_issue and eventually, if you'd like to get some community advice or discuss some issue, everybody is highly welcome on irc - see https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help#IRC for the detail |
Comment by James Cook [ 2015 Sep 08 ] |
Hi Richlv, I have mentioned the separate simple graphs to the guys however they have composite graphs containing of all the data center air conditioners and ups devices information. This way on one graph they can see all the air conditioners in a location and whether the temperatures or humidity are consistent with each other or whether one of the units is spiking etc... Regards |
Comment by Kodai Terashima [ 2016 Mar 08 ] |
Adding CSV export button to history data screen is nice feature as well, adding the button next to "As plain text". |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Jun 10 ] |
it might be worth also considering other structured formats - maybe json, which could even match zabbix api output somewhat ? ZBXNEXT-3301 asks for such a structured data transfer for configuration entities |
Comment by Pavel [ 2020 Nov 30 ] |
This is a traditional feature for quick analytics. As products and methods of analysis spread, they will become more and more in demand among users. sorting the values by ascending time would also be nice. |

RHEL 5 x86_64 using PostgreSQL Backend DB |
Description |
We have the need to monitor multiple running installations of the same software on one host. In my particular case, multiple running installations of PostgreSQL RDBMS on different ports, but it can also be true for other applications such as Java, or Apache, etc. There is no easy way to describe the one-to-many relationship in the Zabbix configuration for a template. To add to the complexity, each instance of PostgreSQL can have many databases, and the database name can be identical on two different running instances of PostgreSQL on the same server. There needs to be some hierarchical relationship capability in Zabbix to describe and monitor these multiple application instances on one host. I have about 100 DB servers and I don't relish the thought of having to manually configure each running PostgreSQL instance and all the DBs in it within Zabbix. I have managed to partially work around it by using auto-discovery and including the port number and database name as parts of the key, but Zabbix seems to get "confused" when I try to create dynamic screens from the auto-generated graphs. |
Comments |
Comment by Rob Brucks [ 2012 Dec 11 ] |
Just to clarify, the dynamic screens only allow a host to be selected, which prevents me from selecting which instance of PostgreSQL to select. I have two instances defined using the port numbers as part of the name "PostgreSQL Cluster 5432" and "PostgreSQL Cluster 5433". Thanks, |
Comment by Alex P [ 2018 Jun 15 ] |
Just wondering, the request was back in Dec 2012, 5.5 years ago. Any update on it? With all on-going Docker conterization (and not only), the feature pretty much is the must. For example, currently if one runs two or more Apache App containers via Docker, then there is an ability to monitor only one (with duplicating templates).
@alexei, any comments on it? update ps: hmm, why user mentioning doesn't work here? |

This would be a very nice to have feature, since it really does limit map constellations where one wishes to display link details as a label on the link. The details of the link help understanding the problem and it's now not possible to make a visually less messy constellation in a spine-leaf -topology with more than a few nodes. I use Zabbix daily and my gratitude for developing and maintaining it as open source software is unmeasurable. Also wow, getting a call from 2010 was a big surprise Thanks and regards, Markus |

I'm seeing the same sort of problem here (running 2.2.0). "0A 85 98 FF" Which translates to "10 133 152 255" (add the dots and you have an IP address). It would be nice if Zabbix could translate this numeric hex into a human-readable IP address. |

Comment by Alexander G. [ 2016 Mar 23 ] |
The same problem with some HP printers when retrieving the consumables (e.g. toners) using OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6.1. The names of that consumables will be shown as hex string. This is annoying especially when using discovery rules since the items got that hex string names. You can reproduce that with Net-SNMPs snmpwalk as shown here for a HP printer model LaserJet 500 color M551: For snmpwalk a work around will help. Just add option -Oa: |
Comment by Daniil Pimonenko [ 2016 May 10 ] |
Is issue closed? |
Comment by Alexander G. [ 2016 May 11 ] |
For my opinion it is not closed yet. Did Zabbix provide any update, I didn't see yet? I'm currently running Zabbix 3.0.2. I stay in contact with HP. But I'm afraid that HP wont fix the firmware of their printers. HP says that some SNMP agents interpret the data as hex decimal value while the others interpret the data as octet string. If your SNMP agent does interpret the data as hex decimal value, you are not a lucky guy. The problem occurs with some HP printers, because they sent a trailing zero byte. See my last post. You can force the Net-SNMP command line tools, to interpret the data as octet string by using the -Oa option. Again see my last post. Since Zabbix using the Net-SNMP library as well, it must be a simple way, to tell Zabbix to force the Net-SNMP library to interpret the data as octet string instead of as hex decimal value. |
Comment by Joakim Plate [ 2016 May 16 ] |
I actually ran into the opposite issue with hrPrinterDetectedErrorState. It ends up being interpreted as string, and thus is incompatible with the numeric type it needs to be. Thus ut requires the -Ox option to work properly. $ snmpwalk -c public -v 1 segotppl001 hrPrinterDetectedErrorState $ snmpwalk -c public -v 1 -Ox segotppl001 hrPrinterDetectedErrorState |
Comment by Ryan Wagoner [ 2017 Nov 01 ] |
I upgraded from CentOS 6 to 7 and am running into this issue. snmpwalk on CentOS 7 returns Hex-STRING for printer supplies OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6 where as CentOS 6 returned STRING. It would be great to have this option in Zabbix. It looks like my only option right now is to write a discovery script. |
Comment by Alexander G. [ 2017 Nov 07 ] |
Solving this issue would make Zabbix to a even better software. I use the following perl script as work around: use strict; # Configuration variables my $snmpwalk_command = "snmpwalk -On -Oa"; my $consumable_names_oid = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6.1"; my $usage = "Error! Need at least 3 arguments: SNMP version, SNMP community and host name or ip address. \n E. g.: $0 2c public printer1"; # Get command line arguments. my $snmpversion = shift || die($usage); my $snmpcommunity = shift || die($usage); my $hostoraddress = shift || die($usage); # Print beginning of the JSON data string. print "{\n"; print "\t\"data\":[\n\n"; my $first_element = 1; foreach my $output (`$snmpwalk_command -v$snmpversion -c $snmpcommunity $hostoraddress $consumable_names_oid 2>&1`) { if ($output =~ /^$consumable_names_oid\.([0-9]+) = STRING: \"(.*)\"$/) { print "\t,\n" if not $first_element; $first_element = 0; print "\t{\n"; print "\t\t\"{#SNMPINDEX}\":\"$1\",\n"; print "\t\t\"{#SNMPVALUE}\":\"$2\"\n"; print "\t}\n"; } } # Print end of the JSON data string. print "\n\t]\n"; print "}\n"; |

Hi Alexander, Thanks for the script, although I still have some troubles getting the actual values. Would you be so kind to share your template? |
Comment by Alexander G. [ 2018 Oct 10 ] |
Here comes the template: SNMPv2c Printers use external script.xml You can also call the script from command line like this: ./discover_printer_consumables.pl 2c public printer Where 2c stands for SNMP Version 2c, public is the SNMP community string and printer is the ip address or name of the printer. Please make sure, that you copied the script in to the right location as cofigured in zabbix_server.conf by the parameter ExternalScripts (e. g. /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts). Hope that helps! |

It's not a bug, i't's a feature request. As such it's open for sponsored development, send an email to [email protected] if you'd like to have this implemented. That being said, in Zabbix 4.2 it might be possible to use a pre-processing javascript to handle this conversion (although I haven't looked into that topic yet). Any confirmation from the Zabbix devs that this would be possible or not? |

Comment by Michel van Son [ 2019 Nov 25 ] |
Vladislavs' scripts works fine for a single hex value. If you use that in an LLD, it'll only replace the first value found. I wrote this script to correct that: var out = ""; var regex = /{#SNMPVALUE}":"([0-9 A-F a-f ]*) "}/; var m; do { m = regex.exec(value) if (m) { var str = ""; for (var i = 0, nums = m[1].split(" "); i < nums.length; i++) { str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(nums[i], 16)); } value = value.replace(m[1], str); } } while (m); return (value); You'll need to fiddle with the regex, watch for whitespaces etc. |
Comment by Eugene [ 2020 Sep 17 ] |
Hello everyone, and thanks to the unsubscribed above. There is a little problem with 0x00 symbol in the SNMP answer, so there is a little modified JS for converts HEX to String, for Zabbix data collectors prototypes and items. For discovery group: var regex = /"{#SNMPVALUE}":"([0-9 A-F ]*) "}/; var m; do { m = regex.exec(value) if (m) { var str = ''; hex = m[1]; hex = hex.replace(/ /g,''); for (var n = 0; n < hex.length; n += 2) { if (hex.substr(n, 2) != '00'){ str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex.substr(n, 2), 16)); } } value = value.replace(m[1], str); } } while (m); return (value); And for prototypes of items: var str1 = value; var hex = str1.toString(); if (! hex.match(/\b[0-9A-F ]{6}\b/gi)) { return str1; } else { hex = hex.replace(/ /g,""); var str = ''; for (var n = 0; n < hex.length; n += 2) { str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex.substr(n, 2), 16)); } return str; }

I am a little confused and mistaken - support for "3 - Warning" is not necessary. Now it is in the severity of "2". If you agree, perhaps more easily and correctly, will realize the severity for example in the new range of 10-17 but 100% accurate according to the RFC3164. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2010 Sep 15 ] |
My last suggestion (new range 10-17) coincides with this excellent solution - zbxlog. Attaching sources archive here (v 1.5), just in case. |

Suppose we have a maintenance that puts all servers in maintenance at 20:00 daily. But this evening, for whatever reason, we do not want that maintenance, so we wish to disable it like we can everything else (actions, discovery, etc.). Currently, we have no way of doing this except, e.g., entering an "Active till" date that is in the past, which is not a very elegant workaround. |

Description |
SLA calculation in IT-Services might become a powerful feature. If SLA calculation is taken to represent the real service levels and shall be used for reporting and potentially even used for penalty, then there has to be a way to subsequently add corrections for defined time periods. Such a correction could be defined on trigger level with parameter like 'Trigger status', 'Time period(s)' and 'Comment/Reason'. These corrections have to be audited and be visible. A correction may not change the data a SLA is based of, it rather should be a separate definition that gets taken into account for on-demand calculation and displaying of SLA. By this feature it would be possible to correct incorrect SLA calculations based on missing data or any kind of malfunctions in the processes of data collection. |

ZBXNEXT-334 is a bit related. |
Comment by Stephen Dayman [ 2013 Oct 31 ] |
The current SLA calculation is very useful for us and helps as a leading indicator of our performance but the correction mechanism is a problem. I would like the SLA correction at a child to cause the recalculation of the availability of the parent recursively. Currently I update the parent with uptime/downtime but this affects the calculation since I loose any availability data of other children. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Jun 07 ] |
Attached patch zbxNext1673-2.2.9.patch is an attempt to implement this request without making deep cuts - as always it's quick'n dirty hacked together without much thinking and testing The idea is to use additional service times to either overrule OK or PROBLEM SLA periods. While such "Correction periods" affect SLA calculation completely, details may be identified in the availability report (reports3.php) view only: If a correction takes place within a SLA period, this is indicated by appending the effective correction period in orange to the regular OK/PROBLEM period values. So the regular values consider corrections and the the orange values indicate how much time was corrected. Btw, the nice thing about using service times is that no data modification is necessary. SLA data remains untouched, just the on-demand calculation is affected. |

our current ipmi discrete sensor documentation suggests to enable debuglevel4 to print out discrete sensors. this is not very user friendly... also not that easy to do, as it requires zabbix server restart and on a larger system - digging through hundreds of megabytes of logs. it would be great to split out/reuse that code for a very simple cli utility to print out discrete sensors the way we need them https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/ipmi |

Comment by richlv [ 2013 Mar 18 ] |

Comment by Andris Mednis [ 2013 Mar 18 ] |
For example, "ipmitool" shows about "CATERR" sensor:
$ ipmitool -v -U zabbix -H 192.168.xxx.xxx -I lanplus -L user sdr type "Processor"
Password:
Sensor ID : CATERR (0x68)
Entity ID : 3.96 (Processor)
Sensor Type (Discrete): Processor
Assertions Enabled : Digital State
[State Asserted]
Deassertions Enabled : Digital State
[State Asserted]
or $ ipmitool -U zabbix -H 192.168.xxx.xxx -I lanplus -L user sensor list all ... CATERR | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na Free-IPMI shows:
$ /usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -l USER -h 192.168.xxx.xxx -u zabbix -P
ID | Name | Type | Reading | Units | Event
...
19 | CATERR | Processor | N/A | N/A | 'OK'
The output is nicely decoded and formatted but it was difficult for me to determine the value of "Reading type code" and "Sensor type code" without guessing. Even sensor name does not always have to be ASCII or UNICODE-encoded, according to IPMI specifications it could be a binary encoded string. Therefore I decided to show exactly numerical values of attributes in Zabbix logfile: 8358:20130318:111122.170 Added sensor: host:'192.168.xxx.xxx:623' id_type:0 id_sz:7 id:'CATERR' reading_type:0x3 ('discrete_state') type:0x7 ('processor') full_name:'(r0.32.3.0).CATERR' If we could find a utility which shows values precisely, the problem would be solved. |

Comment by Rob Brucks [ 2012 Dec 03 ] |
This would be huge for DB monitoring. It is possible to have multiple instances of just about any RDBMS (DB2, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL) running on the same server but on different ports (and we frequently do here). To make things even more complicated all of them (except Oracle) allow you to have multiple DBs in a single instance, which makes trying to set up monitoring a difficult task since there is no one-to-many relationships for templates. If there was a way to be able to have some type of hierarchy of templates for a single host with parameterized templates this would make it far easier to set up monitoring. I bet there are other applications that could also benefit, such as Java. Thanks, |
Comment by Nicola V [ 2014 Feb 13 ] |
Hi, we'd also love to see this feature implemented. |
Comment by Little Martian [ 2014 Apr 16 ] |
Indeed this is what i'm looking for but i suspect Zabbix was designed from the hardware point of view (the host is the tree root for all the definitions, that is why the item name is unique per host) and seems to be very good at that. What I need is a Zabbix designed from the application point of view, where the tree top level is the application and not the host. This can be accomplished but I suspect the Zabbix DB arhitecture needs some changes and possibly a lot of changes in the server logic. |

Currently, it is possible to lauch powershell scripts using the User Parameter feature of a Windows agent. However, this works in a limited fashion since some parameters cannot be correctly passed through ??%systemroot%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe. For example, if we launch a script which requires a * somewhere in the parameters, it generates an error. For example the user parameter would be: If we could have, say a User Parameter that uses the cmd.exe like we have now, AND a PSUser Parameter that directly invokes PS commands. This would be alot more powerful and would be much more geared towards the futur Windows environments. Thank you alot for you time and all your efforts. |

Comment by Pierre-Emmanuel Turcotte [ 2012 Feb 02 ] |
OK... I found a workaround. Not really a workaround, it is how I should've done it in the first place. If I pass the SQL statement to powershell from cmd.exe inside single quotes, it works. And if I pass the single quoted statement to the zabbix agent inside double quotes, everything seems to work fine. I am happy now. But I still beleive an independant PSUser Parameter would be awesome instead of jumping through hoops with the User Parameter to pass powershell commands would be awesome. The finale configuration would be: In the zabbix agent config file: And the passed powershell command (argument $5) would be "'SELECT COUNT FROM someTable'" Again, single quotes inside double quotes seem to de the trick. |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Oct 07 ] |
that sounds like basic rules about proper quoting in shells, seems to me that there's nothing to change here |
Comment by Mārcis Lielturks [ 2015 Sep 09 ] |
I would say that having Zabbix item that runs PS commands would be necessary ("system.run.ps[], system.psrun[] or whatever). Maybe CMD is not going away, but it is very inconvenient to use items like
and PowerShell doesn't seem to be a temporary thing so adding item for running PS commands shouldn't hurt. Just assumption, but probably it would also speed up item polling, if agent wouldn't have to launch CMD just to launch PS from it. |
Comment by Robin Hermann [ 2018 Jul 24 ] |
any news? please implement a function like system.run for powershell example = "system.run.ps" It is really inefficient with "system.run[powershell.exe "command"]" (Zabbix Agent -> CMD -> PowerShell -> Command) and difficult because of the special charakters! |

Description |
Due to the size of our plant (50,000+ hosts to be monitored, along with applications and middleware) we are thinking of ways to plan for capacity on our historical zabbix servers. Someone suggested the idea of "Smart Sampling" where you might have a a few items defined as such: item1: proc.num[my_proc] item2: proc.mem[my_proc] if item1 > 0 where the second item is only sampled, if the first item has a value > 0... This translates to only tracking application metrics, if the application is running, greatly reducing the need for storing those values if the application isnt running 24/7. |

Description |
There is only 1 check box for `history` and `trends`
This is not very optimal because manual says: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/appendix/install/timescaledb In order to use partitioned housekeeping for history and trends, both these options must be on. It's possible to use TimescaleDB partitioning only for trends (by setting Override item trend period) or only for history (Override item history period). However setting such setting seems to cause problems like this: zabbix_server.log 2344843:20201209:183048.122 [Z3005] query failed: [0] PGRES_FATAL_ERROR:ERROR: cannot update/delete rows from chunk "_hyper_2_1761_chunk" as it is compressed [delete from history_uint where itemid=321560 and clock<1606926413] postgresql 2020-12-09 16:31:58.036 UTC [378539] zabbix@zabbix ERROR: transparent decompression only supports tableoid system column 2020-12-09 16:31:58.036 UTC [378539] zabbix@zabbix STATEMENT: delete from history_uint where itemid=482471 and ctid = any(array(select ctid from history_uint where itemid=482471 limit 5000))
It would be desirable to have 3 different settings. 1- Compress trends (uint/float) 2- Compress history (uint/float) 3- Compress history (log/str/text) The reason is, in many cases as uint/float values get into trends, the data amount gets less with some resolution loss. However the string history is lost completely. There is a distinct difference. One may want to keep string values stored longer (unless if there is a way to make some sort of string trends?) Therefore the housekeeping for History items should also be divided into 2 sections. The items which can move on to trends vs the ones which can't (string). It also should not be possible to disable housekeeping overrides before compression is disabled. Because doing so is fundementally incorrect. |

Description |
By default, Zabbix agent under Linux environment runs under user 'zabbix'. Most of the times when we need to monitor a log file, we need to add extra permission. For example, to monitor 'oracle' related logs, we need to do is to assign user 'zabbix' to group oracle. This approach is relatively convenient. But sometimes a log is not produced by a dedicated application user, for example, /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog Currently, one way is to have 'AllowRoot=1' in agent which is too much. We can whitelist and blacklist some agent keys starting with 5.0. To go out from problem we can assign a custom user group for the file. chown zabbix:root /var/log/messages Now it's also required to install a custom rule for log rotation
It would be nice to have an option (an override) to fork the log item key under 'sudo' environment. |

Description |
tl;dr: Please make it possible to customize trigger severity on discovered triggers. Most IT systems are in inhomogeneous environments and therefore have differently important things to monitor. To keep costs and efforts low we use LLD as much as possible on all systems we monitor. But often it is important to be able to change the severity of a lld discovered trigger because there are things more important than others. Let's say you have a network switch with 200 interfaces, but some interfaces are just more important than others. And these important interfaces are different on almost every device. Or lets say you are monitoring different filesystems which are all discovered by LLD. But some filesystems on some hosts are just more important than others. It is so frustrating not to be able to change the severity on these discovered triggers per host. And no, changing the severity on prototype level, as suggested in ZBX-18582 is no alternative at all . This means I would either change the severity of all discovered triggers, which doesn't help here. So we need any filter criteria on device items to differentiate between important and not so important things combined with two or more low level discoveries. The problem is, you don't always have any filter criteria to differentiate. Some things are just more important because of topology and you can't say which one in an lld. So, please make it possible to customize trigger severity on discovered triggers. Thank you, Holger Steps to reproduce:

Today I have a host with a lot of VPN tunnel interfaces, all discovered by lld. Now there are some very unimportant VPN tunnels, which I would like to set to severity information . But there are also some very important VPN tunnels, which I need to set to severity high. Now I have to create several regular expressions with a list of tunnel interface ids. Then I need to create several low level discoveries filtered on these regular expressions just to be able to have different trigger severities. And I have to do all this for every severity level which I would like to use. This is so utterly complicated. If I could change the severity, I would click on the lld trigger of this host, change severity, update, done. |
Comment by Sebastian V. [ 2022 May 23 ] |
+1 for us here using Zabbix too. We are using discovery rules to detect MSSQL databases. Some of these are really unimportant and we don't want to send out alerts to the DBA team for them. But important and non-important databases can reside on one host. Changing the trigger prototype is not a solution in any way. I think for us this is by far the single biggest problem we have right now. I wanted to solve it with tags, but I can't even use tags to filter alerts from these triggers - they must be inherited. Zabbix team, could you provide some more information about this? It would be greatly appreciated

Please, please can we have more pollers? My Zabbix server is highly under-utilised as the max pollers is limited to 1000. |
Comment by Yury Larin [ 2022 Nov 16 ] |
Hi, I have medium size Zabbix installation with a few proxies. I have to collect a lot of data via SNMP from Ciscos. But the issues - I hve mostly slow (5 kBit/s) Satellite links to them. Right now I use 1000 StratPollers and it just enough for now. But we are growing and it would be really nice to be able to inscrease it to 5000 or better to 10000. The server has plenty of resources to do this. Installind additionall proxy only because of this limit is inconvienient... Thanks. |
Comment by David Parker [ 2024 Jan 18 ] |
Adding my $0.02: I ended up patching one of my proxies to allow > 1k pollers and it did in fact fix the problem I was having. It's PR-5636 in the customer service desk titled "Max pollers on a proxy". We have been running a patched 6.0 proxy like that for over a year with no issues. I turned the value up to 2000 in my patch, but am actually running with this: StartPollers=1500 It'd be really nice if you guys got this in before we upgrade to 7.0 - else we're going to have to by-hand patch again. [edit added below] The file to edit is src/zabbix_server/server.c in the source tree.
[second edit - added below] The above is for the server - for the proxy modify proxy.c - looks the same.

Comments |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Mar 07 ] |
hmm, interesting of course. The liboping is existing long time already and seems is alive. It's good. I tried an oping application - it demonstrates the library's abilities: # oping -c3 -i50 zabbix.jp I could not stop it by Ctrl+c - it doesn't react at all. Sent it to background by Ctrl+z and then killed with -9 level. Ok, this is just a demo application but we need the library. Also, the oping binary also has SUID flag enabled. |
Comment by Evgenii Terechkov [ 2015 Mar 07 ] |
I sure you are right about SUID bit on executables. Process needs to run under root user to create raw sockets and produce ICMP packets (on Linux kernel). It is apply to any such utility (ping,traceroute, mtr, fping, oping, ...). Usual way to handle such situation for long-running daemons is run under root, fork privileged process with just enough capabilities and drop superuser privileges in parent process (with further IPC with privileged helper). Obvious example for such method is openntpd daemon. |

Comment by richlv [ 2015 Feb 02 ] |
this would probably make most sense as a separate widget/element in screens/dashboards |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Feb 02 ] |
I like the idea of having a widget of that type. Such a widget might provide a more compact trigger overview in Zabbix screens and the dashboard. Nevertheless, I'd still appreciate to have this option in Monitoring->Triggers too. That view is the primary place to identify what's going on and has to be addressed. Having this feature implemented as widget only would indeed allow to use a screen instead of Monitoring->Triggers, when the latter becomes useless. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Mar 18 ] |
Attached patch zbxNext2695-2.2.9.patch is a quick&dirty hack that adds a new report instead of extending filter options from Monitoring->Triggers view.
The report groups all active triggers by their hosts. This report makes no use of the Zabbix API at all. This is just a PoC to see whether this is as valuable as expected and how it should be finally implemented. |

Host update function actially call massUpdate function and here we see this code: if (!isset($existingInventoriesDb[$hostId])) { $host = get_host_by_hostid($hostId); self::exception(ZBX_API_ERROR_PARAMETERS, _s( 'Inventory disabled for host "%1$s".', $host['host'] )); } Why you cant create new inventory for host if there is no inventory for host exists yet? |

Description |
All the time working with Zabbix I wonder whether it could be possible to put some smart logic into the self-monitor/timer processes to prevent falsely generated events based on .nodata() trigger functions, when something goes terribly wrong - what is likely to happen due to the centralist approach This could probably take internal events into consideration and/or be based on smart thresholds/profiles that may identify abnormal operation of Zabbix processes. Now, the only way to achieve something similar to that (but by far not the same) is to create a central trigger that is based on internal items from which other nodata() triggers depend on. |

Marc, could you please provide an example of a falsely generated event and how the suggested approach would solve that? |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Sep 02 ] |
In theory everything that might lead time function based triggers to fire because of blocked or delayed processing in zabbix. Zabbix knows what it does, resp. how busy it is very well. The idea is to give Zabbix the intelligence to use this information to differentiate between lack of data and possibly not yet available/processed data due to being overloaded or blocked. I might be wrong but whenever I see for example a hystory-syncer or timer process being busy for longer than its respective maximum interval, it's likely to get alerts based on false-positives. At least for the elements that are assigned to the respective process. Such a situation happened in the past by getting an unexpectedly high count of values ( There are lots of possible impacts. They could also be caused indirectly, for example by a bad performing database. |

Comment by Jan Garaj [ 2014 Sep 17 ] |
If libvirt supports libcontainer, then can be also problem with some metrics. You can measure CPU user and CPU system time per docker container. But I didn't find these metrics in libvirt documentation - only CPU time - http://www.libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainInfo. IMHO libvirt can help with some tasks (e.g. discovery), but it doesn't cover all useful metrics - it's only general management tool. This problem needs some deep investigation, but IMHO libvirt is not useful solution for Docker container monitoring at the moment. |
Comment by Jan Garaj [ 2014 Sep 17 ] |
Definitely this feature request is not about libcontainer, because it will be docker only solution. But it should cover container monitoring generally. It means docker, lxc, ... For example CPU metrics are available for lxc in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/lxc/, for docker /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/docker/. And they have the same format. This feature will implement processing of these metrics - it's similar as current CPU monitoring, but only system and user CPU time is available for container. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Sep 17 ] |
Well, when thinking about some other container based virtualization technology like AIX WPars, BSD jails, OpenVZ containers or Solaris zones which do not make any use of control groups, then I can hardly imagine how to commonly support them all - without implementing respective support individually, of course. |
Comment by Jan Garaj [ 2014 Sep 18 ] |
You're right. So I limit my request on container based on cgroups at least - they are very popular nowadays. |

This is very similar to ZBXNEXT-2172. One major issue with more complex web scenarios is the fact that one is almost flying "blind". You always only know at which step a web scenario failed and which criteria wasn't met. Well, capturing and storing the response of every response would be great, but is actually no option in terms of performance and efficiency. Even when having in mind that Storing the already buffered output/response into a corresponding item only for a failed step is what I currently think about. An even more efficient approach could be to store the response only once the first time a step of a scenario failed. |

just wanted to note that "store the response only once the first time a step of a scenario failed." would not be good, as error could change and showing old, unrelated error would be terribly confusing |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 15 ] |
Yeah, the same came to my mind too. This could be circumvented by a reset option or by creating a smart hash that helps deciding whether something has changed and is worth to be stored. From my point of view (at this site) saving the first n (k)bytes of every failed step would be totally fine. |

we recently did something similar with agent item failure messages in the server log, so the principle should be clear to the devs (that is, to store latest content only if it's different from the previous failure) |

Really sad that this feature has not been implemented yet. It looks very easy to add, with minimal impact on database and other features. In large installations we need to document the purpose of each hostgroup on external systems (was it created for permissions? for alerting? for dashboards?) which is a real burden. Zabbix configuration should allow some kind of auto-documenting.

Currently there are 2 problems with alerter: 2. For every alert Zabbix generates separate message, while it can generate 1 message with lots of emails (I've seen such requests on forum). For example, we have 26 users in the group, they all got notified about problems in host group. If there are some serious problems in this group we got LOTS of emails. If the server uses public email server (gmail, aol, etc) for sending alerts it would be sooner or later banned for high volume of emails. |

Of course 2nd variant should be an option, as this variant suits perfectly for own mail server and often not suitable for public servers |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Feb 02 ] |
The description currently mentions two separate ideas:
These are likely to be solved independently, so let's move the 2nd idea to the recently registered I shall update this feature request's title to reflect the 1st idea. |

Comment by Vadim Nesterov [ 2014 Jun 30 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
there is a db schema called mysql.sql in zabbix sources, so need to create new one tokudb.sql with different indexes than mysql, also this schema must be supported by zabbix server, when it auto updates with new versions. TokuDB is another DB engine like Mysql, Oracle, Postgres, so I ask to support it. | ||||||||||||||||||

I highly doubt query cache as it is done in Mysql / Mariadb is usable with zabbix (except there's someone pressing Ctrl + F5 constantly generating the same query). Vadim, can you please attach schema generated? I'm a bit curious about the solutions like "and this index includes all fields of each row". | ||||||||||||||||||

(full disclosure, I work at Tokutek, creators of TokuDB) @richlv, Can you share your past TokuDB experiences further? We continue to make improvements to the performance of TokuDB and I'd be curious to understand workloads that aren't performant. @everyone, We'd be happy to see broader usage of TokuDB with products like Zabbix, and I'm happy to assist in this effort. I assume a large part of the Zabbix workload is time based insertion on tables with secondary indexes, so our ability to ingest at high rates of speed along with our built-in compression should be a great fit. | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jul 01 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
tim, there was some communication between tokutek/zabbix may 2012 - october 2013, maybe that allows to dig up more records. | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Tim Callaghan [ 2014 Jul 01 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
Yes, I remember the early portion of that timeline well. I'm confident that the current version of TokuDB will perform much better than back then, as is evidenced by the creator of this ticket. Please let me know if there is any way we can help. Does Zabbix by chance have any benchmarking code to test their workload's performance? That would be a great place to start. | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Vadim Nesterov [ 2014 Jul 01 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
Lets begin deeply into TokuDB Here is: CREATE TABLE `history` ( – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_log`; – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_str`; – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_str_sync`; – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_sync`; – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_text`; – DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `history_uint`; Such indexes KEY `clustering_idx_clock_itemid` (`clock`,`itemid`) `clustering`=yes are wrong from my side, but we work now with it ok. Cause deleting indexes in TokuDB locks tables, I kept them, beacause it almost recreation of table. As you see at history table, I deleted primary index on item_id, @Andrejs Čirkovs, let look at db files:
Look at size of clustering indexes, they are almost the same as main table. Here is the stat of Qcache: show status like '%Qca%';

@vadim, I'll try to respond to your proposed schema and questions. Clustering secondary index size Clustering index advantages Compression USING BTREE syntax Replacing Primary Keys | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Vadim Nesterov [ 2014 Jul 02 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
@Tim, Compression: we have 24 cores on server and we the load is very small, load average is about 2, we have 16GB RAM, and have 4GB free, tokudb is set to use 9GB. We woud like to have samller db. KEY `clustering_idx_clock_itemid` (`clock`,`itemid`) USING BTREE - it is unchanged table from original zabbix schema. Replacing Primary Keys - the main topic. So if clustering is table, so I don't understand why to have secondary keys on history data? So I think it is enough to have one PK clustering (item_id,clock) and don't have secondary indexes. Am I right? Tim, another question: is it any value to use desc order while creating index (item_id,clock desc), cause I read that InnoDB don't look at it? What about TokuDB? | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Tim Callaghan [ 2014 Jul 02 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
@vadim.
Good question. One potential reason to cluster a secondary index rather than just making what would be the clustering secondary index the primary key is insert performance. If you have a PK on an auto-incrementing column then you are always inserting on the right side of the index, which means inserts are very fast. The same is true if you don't declare a primary key, as the hidden PK is auto-increment. The reason these are fast is that a primary key must be unique, and the unique check can be expensive, as in require an IO, if the insert pattern for the primary key is random. The clustered secondary index doesn't need a unique check so TokuDB's Fractal Tree indexing technology is fast forever, as opposed to InnoDB's which will slow down significantly when your secondary indexes don't fit in the cache. Does that help? To continue this topic I'd need to better understand the particular table in question (lets take this 1 table at a time), and understand the insertion pattern as well as update/delete/select statements.
There isn't value in declaring it desc, an index can efficiently be scanned in either direction. | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Vadim Nesterov [ 2014 Jul 03 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
So here is from zabbix 2.2.4 original schema: CREATE TABLE `history` ( Must be index history_1 be clustering? We talk only about for TokuDB. | ||||||||||||||||||
Comment by Tim Callaghan [ 2014 Jul 03 ] | ||||||||||||||||||
@vadim.
In TokuDB you can optionally make secondary indexes clustering. A clustered secondary index is much like the primary key in that a complete copy of the row is stored in the index, which means the following:
Now on to the good stuff! Since the clustered secondary index has a full copy of the row, any select that uses the index has all the columns in the row available to it without having to do a look-up into the primary key index to get the other columns. Both InnoDB and TokuDB have this "look the rest of the row up in the primary key" behavior (which TokuDB avoids if the secondary index is clustered). You can think of clustered secondary indexes as a better version of a covered index. So, I think for the above table you'd be best off leaving the create table alone (keep the hidden PK), but making the index clustering, as in: CREATE TABLE `history` ( `itemid` bigint unsigned NOT NULL, `clock` integer DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, `value` double(16,4) DEFAULT '0.0000' NOT NULL, `ns` integer DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, KEY `history_1` (`itemid`,`clock`) CLUSTERING=yes ) ENGINE=TokuDB `COMPRESSION`=TOKUDB_LZMA; |

So traffic is decreased, time spent decreases, load on monitored device decreased! I checked also bulk-get behavior (for several snmp items, starting from 2.2.3) - for 1st get-request zabbix sent the same 106|108 bytes packet, which contain empty "variable-bindings". So from 2.2.3 traffic and time "overhead" is not so big as previously, but still. What we need is to to cache engineID-IP pairs and reuse engineID later. Just FYI - libnetsnmp have interesting functions:
During experiments I tried to use both - both are working as expected. It can provide some more possibilities - for example detecting duplicated enineIDs and printing very nice error messages to zabbix log (and do not cache them of course) etc. During investigation I used other functions as well, for example dump_etimelist(); (which requires net-snmp recompiled with --enable-testing-code option.) |

If Zabbix is aware of snmpEngineId at the daemon level it could expose it as an item. Then one could create a trigger on engineId change (e.g. to reload net-snmp cache). |

ZBX_MAX_PERIOD takes effect but a reasonable value for text based items is not necessarily sufficient for number based items. Anyhow, the main problem is not the period and thus amount of (text based) data in general. |

2 Standalone Zabbix Servers with Oracle Rac Solution. Where 2 Zabbix Servers have a Load balancer in front for any active connections |
Description |
Hey. So where you have 2 standalone servers behind a loadbalancer and connected to an Oracle RAC solution it will ensure no deadlocks will occur from the systems, so that only emails etc.. will be executed from the zabbix server that is set as the primary? I did make a change like this to the alerter section that would send emails only from the primary server set in a new filed in the media_type table and it worked exactly the way it intended, but I forgot about the pollers and housekeeping sections, so my new compiled binary caused deadlocks and crashed the 2 Zabbix servers. So not sure if this is something that is in the works, but if not is it something that can be designed in? I dont want to go down the road of multiple nodes as its more of an overhead for management, where 2 standalone servers will work perfectly well if this feature can be added. Thanks |

(i thought i already had reported this, but apparently not ) value cache has internal items to monitor hit/miss rates, but these only show values - so a single request could return 50 values which would show up as hit rate of 50. while useful, maybe even more interesting would be items to show hits and misses for requests. as there can be partial hits as well, there should be 3 internal items - request hits, misses, partial hits |

also, we currently have items for requests and for value hits/misses - those can't even be meaningfully compared, so request result rates would be highly useful |

May be it is a bug... My settings for active agents: BufferSend=5 BufferSize=65535 My host has 147 items and sends it every minute. I set BufferSize=65535 and thought, that if agent losts connection to server, it saves metrics for 65535/147=445 minutes in memory and after connection restored, it send metrics to server.

It would be great to add the possibility to put an IT service in maintenance, thus automatically putting the hosts with the dependant triggers in maintenance. At the moment, when we have a planned maintenance, the operators have to expand all the IT service, searching for the related hosts. For complex services, it can clearly be a source of errors, and consequently false positives. This can really be difficult due to hard and soft links between IT services. In the future, as it will be possible to put triggers in maintenance, it would be nice to look up for all the triggers defining the availability of an IT service, instead of the hosts.

Comment by Florent Typiak [ 2020 Apr 08 ] |
Hi dimir, What do you mean by "never changing doing changes" ? Change = put/update/delete ? if that's the case, post is already doing changes. From my point of view, the scenarios written in the supervision must be as close as possible to what our clients send on the service. So if clients send us http method which doing changes (like put, or update), we also have to set it in web scenario. Florent |

Description |
Global event correlation is a nice feature that helps to suppress unnecessary alerts. However, Zabbix has to do more on problem deduplication, and event correlation could be used for this purpose. For the moment, global event correlation can only close old or new events, and when some events are closed, the open ones do not include any information about the others. Extending event correlation in allowing still open events to reference the others would be useful for problem deduplication and noise reduction. Imagine for example a disk latency trigger positioned on all our servers. If for a reason the SAN or disk array experiences performance issues, this would trigger hundreds of alerts for hundreds of servers. With global event correlation, we could correlate these events, close the new ones and only keep the first event. However this means that only one event appears in the dashboard, with no information about the other servers. In the same way, only one notification is sent (for example one email), but it doesn't mention the other problems. This is good to avoid alert storms, but the support teams wouldn't be informed that a global issue is happening. |

Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Dec 06 ] |
Dear malmstream, what richlv probably means is that /.../g pattern returns an array of matches and there is currently no syntax in Zabbix to use an array of matches somehow. Currently you can use sort of (\d+);(\d+);(\d+) and "\1", "\2", "\3" to put captured groups in output. |
Comment by Sergey Korchak [ 2017 Dec 06 ] |
Unfurtunaly it is not possible, Because pattern "(\d+);(\d+);(\d+)" must be used only if you exactly know now many matches can be. Thats why i ask to add this functionality to zabbix. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Dec 06 ] |
And what do you want to do with unknown amount of matches once you've got them? |
Comment by Sergey Korchak [ 2017 Dec 06 ] |
I will make 20 (for example) number of data elements. Each of them will match with number of each regexp group. Those elements which not receive regexp group will be deactivated. So I will get the same number of working data items as the number of elements in my string. |

Description |
I'm querying the database directly to gather some information on the latest history data directly from a Grafana dashboard. It works dandy but the queries take a very long time to finish. A simple query to gather the latest history item takes about 6 seconds on a 2740MB table (history_uint). Here is the query (very simple one, the ones I'm doing require joins, that's when it get's messy):
zabbix=> select * from history_uint order by history_uint.clock DESC LIMIT 1; itemid | clock | value | ns --------+------------+-------+---------- 188644 | 1553786344 | 1 | 94740072 (1 row) Time: 6810,381 ms (00:06,810)
Here is the table size:
zabbix=> SELECT pg_size_pretty (pg_relation_size('history_uint')); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 2740 MB (1 row)
One of the queries I'm doing to get the latest data on several items:
zabbix=> SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(items.name) zabbix-> FROM history_uint zabbix-> JOIN (SELECT zabbix(> history_uint.itemid, zabbix(> max(history_uint.clock) as max_clock zabbix(> FROM history_uint WHERE history_uint.clock > extract(epoch from now()- INTERVAL '6 MINUTES') zabbix(> GROUP BY history_uint.itemid) subselect_history_max_clock zabbix-> ON (history_uint.itemid = subselect_history_max_clock.itemid) AND (history_uint.clock = subselect_history_max_clock.max_clock) zabbix-> zabbix-> JOIN items ON items.itemid = subselect_history_max_clock.itemid zabbix-> JOIN hosts ON items.hostid = hosts.hostid zabbix-> JOIN hosts_groups ON hosts.hostid = hosts_groups.hostid zabbix-> JOIN hstgrp ON hosts_groups.groupid = hstgrp.groupid zabbix-> zabbix-> WHERE (hstgrp.name = 'Amadores-Clusters') zabbix-> AND (items.name LIKE '%AP Status%') zabbix-> AND (hosts.host LIKE '%VC%') zabbix-> AND history_uint.clock > extract(epoch from now()- INTERVAL '6 MINUTES'); count ------- 469 (1 row) Time: 33019,439 ms (00:33,019)
This is on a server idling at the moment. If multiple users start using Grafana to check the dashboards it can get very messy very fast.
What I found: - There is no entry on the database that relates the history latest data besides the highest clock which isn't very efficient as it's not even pre-sorted - Other users have found this same issue - One of those users (dimir) came up with a solution and I think the fix is clean and simple
The fix: It's stated here -> https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-13193?focusedCommentId=304714&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-304714
It would create 5 tables with the latest data gathered on each item/history* table, those tables wouldn't grow over time as it's as big as items has the history tables, so it's a very tidy and fast solution.
Could be this implemented on Zabbix?
Best regards, Aarón
PS: IOPs spike when I do those queries, so I'm even maxing out the IOPs of the hard drives. |

Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2019 Mar 29 ] |
It is strange to hear that you are writing SQL queries while using Grafana. Why? Have you heard about Zabbix plugin? |
Comment by Aaron [ 2019 Mar 29 ] |
Hey Glebs, I need the flexibility of a database query to be able to retrieve the info I'm using. Here is an example. I have several wireless controllers. I do a discovery on each one to see what APs are on the controllers database and check wether the APs are up (1) or down (2). With Zabbix plugin I haven't managed a way to get a count of APs that are UP and APs that are DOWN. I could preprocess the status values to 1 = up and 0 = down but still, I have to be very careful with the Time Range. If it's too short I will miss values and if it's too large I will get too many. AFAIK there is no way to get the latest value on a metric on Grafana, it's always time dependant and very hard to know where to set the limit, it really depends on when the data was written into the DB (clock).
I have attached a screenshot to explain it better. The AP status items are being being queried every 5 minutes so I configured the time range on the Zabbix datasource to 7 minutes getting 64 APs UP but there are really 111 APs UP (see the SQL output right beside it). It doesn't matter how I fiddle with the time range I can't get it to state the correct number of APs being UP so I figured it would be easier and more accurate to directly query the DB.
I hope I have explained myself properly!
Best regards, Aarón |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2019 Mar 30 ] |
If I read your SQL query correctly, it selects latest value for all items in history_uint, no wonder it takes ages to complete. It would be more efficient to get the list of itemid's you are interested in and only then find out their latest values (where itemid in (...)). |
Comment by Aaron [ 2019 Apr 01 ] |
Hi Glebs, I got the list of items I want to query and managed to query the history_uint for only those items, but I'm failing to keep the most recent values and also discern when an AP is UP or when it's DOWN. Let me explain, if I want to see if an AP is down I would filter the query to see if value == 2. If an AP goes down (value == 2) and then it comes up (value == 1) I will always get a match on value == 2 even though the AP is already up... It's very complicated to query the last value on multiple items, that's why I was asking for that fix above. I checked the documentation (https://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/DB_schema/2.0/items) on the database there was a field on the items table called 'lastvalue' that would help me a lot but it was removed on version 2.2.
I don't want to modify Zabbix code so I will try to create a trigger that on the event of an INSERT on history_uint table, I will store the itemid/value/clock into a new table.
Cheers, Aarón |
Comment by dimir [ 2019 Apr 01 ] |
The trigger sounds like a good idea. As to why it was removed from items table, it's because it was causing deadlocks and performance issues every time new values were to be added to the database and that decision was right. But I think we forgot to think of other possibilities to have latest data always available. |
Comment by Aaron [ 2019 Apr 03 ] |
Hello, I did it just for history_uint but this is replicable to all history tables. I created two functions, one for inserting/updating and another one for deleting. The new table 'lastvalue_uint' stores itemid, clock and value: CREATE TABLE lastvalue_uint( itemid bigint primary key, clock integer NOT NULL, value numeric(20,0) NOT NULL);
The insert/update is triggered whenever an item is inserted/updated in history_uint. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION lastvalue_uint_func() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $BODY$ DECLARE BEGIN IF (TG_OP = 'INSERT' OR TG_OP = 'UPDATE' ) THEN INSERT INTO lastvalue_uint(itemid, clock, value) VALUES(NEW.itemid, NEW.clock, NEW.value) ON CONFLICT (itemid) DO UPDATE SET clock = NEW.clock, value = NEW.value; END IF; RETURN NEW; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; CREATE TRIGGER trigger_insert_lastvalue_uint BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON history_uint FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE lastvalue_uint_func();
The delete is triggered whenever an item is deleted in the items table.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION lastvalue_uint_func_delete() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $BODY$
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF (TG_OP = 'DELETE') THEN
DELETE FROM lastvalue_uint WHERE itemid = OLD.itemid;
END IF;
RETURN OLD;
END;
$BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_delete_lastvalue_uint BEFORE DELETE ON items FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE lastvalue_uint_func_delete();
So far the size of the table is slowly growing but I will have to wait a day or so to see that it matches the size of history_uint unique items.
Hope this helps someone!
Cheers, Aarón |
Comment by Aaron [ 2019 Apr 10 ] |
After a week the solution seems stable, no tables have outgrown the history_* unique itemids so that's good. I finally created a function to update/insert on lastvalue_* for each history_* and a function for every delete on items. Probably there is a better way to do this but having separate functions keeps it pretty simple and easier to understand. I have attached the functions/triggers I'm using, now the queries take almost no time and are a lot simpler.
Comparison on number of itemids on history_uint vs lastvalue_uint:
zabbix=> select count(DISTINCT itemid) from history_uint ; count ------- 36736 (1 row) zabbix=> select count(DISTINCT itemid) from lastvalue_uint ; count ------- 29667 (1 row)
Comparison on size of history_uint and lastvalue_uint:
zabbix=> SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('history_uint')); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 7612 MB (1 row) zabbix=> SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('lastvalue_uint')); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 4240 kB (1 row) Triggers.functions.lastvalue.txt
Even though it's working, it would be great if this could be added on future Zabbix releases.
Cheers, Aarón

Description |
This is related to I have a separate app written in Python/Django that gets values from the trending tables in the Zabbix database, displays the last 3 months worth of trends for an item, then displays (in a separate color) the forecast for the item over the next two weeks (variable time-frames). I did this using a Holt-Winters double exponential smoothing algorithm I found code for. The result was fairly accurate for a forecast. Again, written in Python, but should be translatable to PHP. The method itself was pretty simple: pass a list of [clock, value] and it returns a list of [clock, value], where clock contains future dates and times. I don't know how much work, if any, has been done in this area, but it would be a great feature to have, and one that I personally need. While I have a separate app that does this forecasting, it would be even better if it were built-in to Zabbix. I would be happy to provide any additional information, the Python code for the Holt-Winters algorithm, possibly even some time to implement this (though I haven't worked with PHP in a while). Please let me know if there is work being done in this area, or if not, would this be a desired feature for anyone else. |

Hi! As you can see there is some progress on It is very interesting that you use Holt-Winters method. As I can see, there are three-four parameters in this model. This is probably too much for an ordinary user to tune. And we would not want to provide "default" parameters because it is very hard to find parameter set which would suit everyone. Wiki says about exponential smoothing:
And this is what concerns us the most. Anyway, I would be glad to hear more from you about your vision of forecasting in Zabbix and about your experience with Holt-Winters. |
Comment by Ross Peoples [ 2015 Sep 08 ] |
Hello, The difference between Being able to see forecasts in graphs allows you to plan for capacity, rather than react to it. It's great that there is some forecasting being done via triggers, now I think we just need to put that into graphs as well. If the extrapolation techniques used for triggers would be suited for graphing as well, then that's fine. I chose Holt-Winters at the time because it was recommended for forecasting things with fluctuations, like CPU usage. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2015 Sep 14 ] |
Hi,
Fluctuations are unpredictable by nature. Sometimes Holt-Winters is able to guess them surprisingly well, but sometimes all can go totally wrong. |
Comment by David Lang [ 2016 Jan 05 ] |
I'll point out that rrdtool implements Holt-Winters and is C code released under GPLv2 (or later), so the code can be directly copied into Zabbix. for simple functions, calculating it on the fly as you access it can work, but for more complex things, it makes more sense to calculate it once and store the result the way you would any other data source. looking at Is there a way to have a predictive trigger create a data item that can then be graphed as you would any other item? |

It looks trivial to add a description field, with minimal impact on database and other features. In large installations, it's necessary to document the purpose of each usergroup and some users: why was it created for? permissions? alerting? dashboards? api access?. Zabbix configuration should allow for some kind of auto-documenting, it'd make the life of Zabbix administrators easier. |

if not a description field, then a tags field. this would allow to add tags for short description, expiration dates, a temp flag, etc. |

Since we have ability to extend pre-processing using JavaScript code, do we still need modules? |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2021 Oct 15 ] |
|
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2021 Oct 15 ] |
Right, but the ticket is asking for custom functions in pre-processing, that's the use case. Why use modules (hard to deploy, incompatible templates) if requested functionality can be easily achieved with built-in JavaScript pre-processing? It is easy to use and templates with such pre-processing rules will work elsewhere as well. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2021 Oct 15 ] |
Yes, but your original question seemed to be about modules in general. Excuse me, I have probably overreacted.
I guess same can be said about modules vs. userparameters or modules vs. external scripts. This question was answered in ryan.armstrong's talk at Zabbix Conference 2016 (slide 19):
Speaking of "hard to deploy", I think it is a bit artificial. The situation can be improved, but this area has been getting zero attention from Zabbix team in the recent years. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2021 Oct 18 ] |
I don't mind to keep this ticket open. I just think that the need for pre-processing modules was highly diminished by the introduction of custom JavaScript pre-processing. Now I believe most (if not all) use cases are covered and performance (IMHO the only potential benefit of modules) has never been an issue. At least I haven't heard about any performance-related issues with JavaScript pre-processing. |

Comment by Evan Montgomery-Recht [ 2016 Oct 24 ] |
Can you provide an example of how to add a web scenario via Zabbix API? Ideally it would be a multi-step scenario. Basically we have a situation where we have about 60 web applications is various stages of the SDLC. We need a way to dynamically detect if a application has been deployed to one of our servers. This detection would occur based on a 'is-URL' present (or does it respond back to the right status code) in a template. If so, add application to be monitored. (Ideally we would need to be able to say, if down for at least a week, or some other defined timeframe, it's likely no longer deployed.) |
Comment by Jon Beilke [ 2016 Oct 24 ] |
Should be covered on the Zabbix doc site - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/api/reference/httptest/create { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "httptest.create", "params": { "name": "Homepage check", "hostid": "10085", "steps": [ { "name": "Homepage", "url": "http://mycompany.com", "status_codes": 200, "no": 1 }, { "name": "Homepage / About", "url": "http://mycompany.com/about", "status_codes": 200, "no": 2 } ] }, "auth": "038e1d7b1735c6a5436ee9eae095879e", "id": 1 } We're using Ruby as it allows us to fetch a JSON list of sites from an internal API and then add the necessary Web Scenarios to Zabbix with this zabbixapi gem - https://github.com/express42/zabbixapi The readme for the zabbixapi gem includes an example for adding Web Scenarios (a.k.a. httptests). The steps are passed as an array to the API as part of the Web Scenario, and are ordered based on the number (no) property. |
Comment by Vladimir Ulogov [ 2016 Oct 25 ] |
But long-term solution for this, would be a support of the WebScenario prototypes in LLD. I am voting for this. |
Comment by Eduard Muradov [ 2020 Feb 06 ] |
Hey. Is there any news about this feature? |
Comment by Ben Hanson [ 2021 Jul 15 ] |
I can see that using web scenarios prototypes in LLD might be a bit counterintuitive, since scenarios would likely be individual to an apache/iis/etc application. Maybe it would make more sense to have an improved HTTP agent item to do single URL checking, since that is already a prototype. It's just so much easier to do a clean web scenario + trigger. So is there a way to make an HTTP agent item that behaves like a single step web scenario? |
Comment by Slash [ 2021 Jul 15 ] |
LLD web scenario can be very useful when you need to monitor several websites on a reverse proxy cluster or even a single http server. You can also monitor several endpoints of a specific application. Currently we have to create a userparameter with LLD to perform this action. |

Actually the Zabbix Housekeeper is working very well with normal operations, cleaning item values but i can't say the same when we delete some prototype items or simple items. During an official Zabbix issue we are now know the right meaning of the MaxHousekeeperDelete parameter, this variable only affect the amount of value of a deleted item per Housekeeper run. For example if i have a template for Cisco Switches with some Item prototype related to the port metrics, you will probably face this numbers: So the MaxHousekeeperDelete don't limit the query for a single Housekeeper run and in some case this logic can dramatically increase the workload of Zabbix Server. Please provide a better documentation of the MaxHousekeeperDelete or much more Predictable logic of Housekeeper process operation. |

Description |
Currently in Zabbix if you create a trigger on two (or more) items, the trigger is evaluated when each item last value is changed, even if both items change their value at the exact same time (using zabbix_sender), which makes it impossible to compare values of more items in triggers. I uploaded an example. In the graph you can see two items which have a trigger on them which checks if the green item is greater or equal to the red one, if it is, it will send a notification. These items were updated in Zabbix at the exact same time which you can see from the database: zabbix=> SELECT clock,value from history_uint where itemid = 98532 and clock > 1417042800 and value = 70; clock | value ------------+------- 1417060938 | 70 (1 row) zabbix=> SELECT clock,value from history_uint where itemid = 98522 and clock > 1417042800 and value = 65; clock | value ------------+------- 1417060938 | 65 (1 row) As you can see clocks are the same, but Zabbix evaluated this item 2 times in 6 seconds:
What Zabbix should do is it should evaluate this trigger only one time for all items which receive a new value at the same time. |

Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2015 Feb 25 ] |
Hello, I could confirm that we also had the same problem. As a workaround we use a bit more complicated trigger expression. {host:green.last()}>{host:red.last()} it is possible to use the following: {host:green.count(30)}>0 & {host:red.count(30)}>0 & {host:green.last()}>{host:red.last()} I.e. initial trigger expression (comparing green and red items) will be used only if both these items have a values updated during the last 30 seconds. |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2015 Feb 25 ] |
That is a really cool solution, but the problem is that when that trigger becomes true, on next item fetch it will become false because of the count expressions. For that trigger to work, you would need to use TRIGGER.VALUE, something like this (I didn't test it and I use the 2.4 syntax): ({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1 and not ({host:green.count(30)}>0 and {host:red.count(30)}>0)) or ({host:green.count(30)}>0 and {host:red.count(30)}>0 and {host:green.last()}>{host:red.last()}) But all of this is still a workaround which makes trigger expressions harder to read and understand. Zabbix should support this out of the box for items with the same timestamp. P.S. In your example, if your items are refreshed every 30 seconds, shouldn't you use count(29)>0? |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2015 Feb 25 ] |
Good point, thanks. We use a long enough refresh interval for items (about 20 minutes), so 30 seconds for the count() function is a good timeout. It is just to be sure that item was refrshed "recently" (i.e. both item's values are "fresh"). Really, we need to check a trigger state and describe a different conditions for correct trigger opening/closing. It is possible; however, a very simple trigger expression is transformed to a difficult for understanding (and error-prone) hysteresis-like expression. Of course, it could be much better if we can simple and clear trigger expressions "out of the box" (without these tricks). |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Oct 10 ] |
Issue description doesn't mention several important points. I don't think it can be implemented at all, as we even cannot resolve |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2015 Oct 10 ] |
Wouldn't it be possible to delay trigger evaluations on triggers with multiple items (for a second or something like that). If zabbix_sender sends two items with the exact same timestamp and those items are used in one trigger, when the first item value is received in the cache, check if the other item's value is within a second, if not, wait a second and evaluate the trigger again. Of course I have no idea if this is possible to do, since I haven't read the Zabbix trigger evaluation code. If above is not possible, could we maybe add a new function which would make these triggers easier to read, or for example add an additional parameter to last(), e.g.: {host:green.last(0,3s)}>{host:red.last(0,3s)}) 3s means that both green and red have a fresh value within the last 3 seconds. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Oct 10 ] |
1. I'm not developer but I suppose it would not be possible, IMO. Remember please about systems with very high NVPS. I could not imagine there any delays. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2016 Jun 01 ] |
I would translate suggested fictional {host:green.last(0,3s)}>{host:red.last(0,3s)} into supported {host:green.fuzzytime(3s)}=1 and {host:red.fuzzytime(3s)}=1 and ({host:green.last()}>{host:red.last()}) Or more sophisticated variant which preserves existing trigger state if at least one of item values is not "fresh": ({host:green.fuzzytime(3s)}=1 and {host:red.fuzzytime(3s)}=1) * ({host:green.last()}>{host:red.last()}) + ({host:green.fuzzytime(3s)}=0 or {host:red.fuzzytime(3s)}=0) * {TRIGGER.VALUE} |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2016 Jun 01 ] |
I don't understand how would fuzztyime(3s) help in this situation, since it only checks if the difference between current time of the host and Zabbix server is more than 3 seconds. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2016 Jun 02 ] |
Not between host time and server time, but between item value timestamp and current server time. |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2016 Jun 02 ] |
Looking at the docs I would say fuzzytime only works with items which value is the timestamp, if it's not, it cannot be used. If items red and green are not timestamps, then fuzzytime won't do anything. |

Btw, how about implementing this as a separate process accessing the shared memory of the server? |
Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2014 Nov 21 ] |
Yes, the current plan is to implement it as separate process(es). This will allow to partly re-use existing functionaly for some requests (for example template linking) and also will give access to configuration/value caches. |

Comment by OFN Team [ 2015 Nov 10 ] |
We've had a number of comments from our developers that are creating micro services (which we'll run in application containers) that are looking for a restful end point to send metrics to. Will this be available on the proxy as well and will the API be expanded to allow updating item values? |
Comment by Ross Peoples [ 2016 Feb 01 ] |
Can we make this a separate component from the Zabbix server entirely so that it can be installed on a separate machine from the server? The reason I ask is this: the server already has a lot to do, ingesting data from the proxies, writing it to the database, monitoring anything not monitored by the proxies, calculating triggers and items, and running actions based on those triggers in addition to the other various tasks it has to do. In a large enterprise environment, being able to horizontally scale is a requirement and thus far, we've been able to do that by adding proxies and additional web servers, but there can only be one Zabbix server. We are planning to start using the Zabbix API much more heavily in the next year, so being able to set up multiple API servers behind a load balancer would be extremely beneficial and take some load off the Zabbix server. |
Comment by Ryan Armstrong [ 2016 Apr 03 ] |
I agree with Ross. We definitely need to start separating the server into discrete, horizontally scalable micro-services. May need to look at memcached/redis for distributing in-memory caches between components. I did consider prototyping a RESTful API written in C but it lead to another million new cool ideas and I couldn't decide where to start. For example, it really should sit in front of a shared Data Access Layer (or two: one for config, one for metrics) which could also be a discrete component with a RESTful/other API and then be used by the front-end, server, public API, etc. So in summary, please don't move the API to the server binary; let's make it discrete and scalable. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2016 Apr 04 ] |
Ryan & Ross, I totally agree with you. The API component must be as independent as possible and ideally shouldn't affect runtime processing of Zabbix Server. We may also give users a choice: run it as part of Zabbix Server or as a standalone process for those who prefer scalability. In both cases the API component shouldn't tightly coupled with Zabbix Server, there will be no shared resources at all. From the other hand, having API on Zabbix Server side would allow interesting things like building distributed or HA Zabbix Server on top of the API or making all communications (server-agent, proxy-server) to be based entirely on API calls. Just imagine Zabbix Agent doing history.put or Proxy doing config.get. I like it, do you? |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Apr 04 ] |
when decoupling the api, what about the server caches (value, configuration) ? |
Comment by Ryan Armstrong [ 2016 Apr 05 ] |
Yeah I think the caches are valuable to the API but do agree that redis/memcached/other would add install complexity. I understand this idea is turning into a complete redesign (Zabbix v4?), but if you will indulge me, I'd like to regurgitate the "million new cool ideas" that I feel may actually have value to you. Take it or tweak it or leave it I guess, but I feel some isolation and abstraction would make Zabbix stand out from the crowd. In brief:

when the failover happens, don't you have a virtual ip pointing at the current db ? |

No, there is no virtual ip. In the above connection string you can find two host parameters, which are the both clusters. Each cluster has two nodes. In Cluster the connections will managed transparently to the application. But failover from active to standby database will lead to a hostname switch. |

Description |
Can you add graph enable/disable functionality (similar way as it is done for triggers or items), which would prevent displaying unwanted graphs in dropdown menu on a graph tab? On most of network devices I'm working with (routers, switches, cmtses) there is always lots of different phisical/virtual interfaces, which are being discoverd by lld rules. Same rules create graphs (ex. traffic) for every added interface. Usually it is a very inconvenient to find desirable graph, since there are no graph filtering options, search engine doesn't support finding graphs and dropdown menu is flooded with uneccesary graphs. Using LLD filters to add only wanted graphs, in my opinion, is not an option, because, propably in the end, it would come to creating huge regexp matching only particular graphs. Not showing graphs built on disabled items is not a solution as well, as ,for example, there can be a need to have an access to historical data on the interface, which is not used anymore. |

Description |
Due to the last couple of improvements in this area Web scenarios are becoming a unique selling point. Recently I was asked whether Web scenarios might even be executed by hosts via Zabbix agent. My answer to that question was "No", but one could put a dedicated Zabbix proxy on such DMZ hosts, which then can do web scenario checks. Now, how about extending Zabbix agent by an active check for processing Web scenarios? Or possibly even better extending by a separate HTTP poller process? I'm aware that this needs significant developing in either way and would possibly break the ambition to have items available on every OS supported by Zabbix agent. Anyway, I can imagine that this functionality would be valuable for many users. I was sure there is already a ticket that requests an option to select whether a Web scenario is executed on Server or Proxy level. There I wanted to add this request actually - but I haven't found one |

Comment by Marc [ 2014 Sep 27 ] |
Implementing this as a passive check might allow to keep the work flow at server/proxy level and to avoid the transfer/storage of all the necessary information to/by the agent. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Sep 28 ] |
this might be a fairly large development, as all the webscenario logic currently is in the proxy/server modules. it might move towards merging agent and proxy |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Sep 28 ] |
The very same concern lead me to think about a passive check implementation. I highly appreciate the small footprint and dependencies of the agent. Even when a kind of "simple" configuration cache (think of Instead of extending the existing agent a new dedicated agent for that purpose could be another way too. Anyway, for now it's just a functional request. Even though suggested by the ticket summary, it has not necessarily be implemented in the existing agent. |

Description |
Currently, the transport used by zabbix to grab metric data from the agents is based on it's own protocol. Using MQTT would bring the following improvements to Zabbix (amongst others):
This request is in many ways similar to ZBXNEXT-638 (AMQP support) although I think MQTT will be a better match since it has been designed with embedded devices (low memory footprint) using unreliable transport networks (QOS, LWT) in mind. The LWT function might prove extremely valuable, and the added built-in functionality of auth and encryption is something the community has been waiting for for a long time. |

Disclaimer: I'm a complete newbie to Zabbix. I've been studying on how to best accomplish this, and I've stumbled over loadable modules in Zabbix Agent. The good news is I have a minimal prototype working which is able to populate item data (is that the correct terminology?) with values obtained through an MQTT subscription. A number of questions arise, though:
Comments, ideas, etc. are very welcome! |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 May 19 ] |
Creating entities like items or configuration in general, is intended to be done via the Zabbix API |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2014 May 19 ] |
Hi JP, In this case the loadable module for the agent will not be of much use. This would replicate the behavior of the current active items. The agent will need to be patched to support MQTT as a protocol, the loadable module on that end is only useful for gathering data, not sending it. I'm in the works of building a 'zabbix-agent-to-mqtt' bridge in bash to demonstrate the behavior and possibilities. HTH, Raymond |

+1 The message queue approach seems to be very interesting. |
Comment by Jan-Piet Mens [ 2014 May 21 ] |
I notice while using the Zabbix API, that it takes around 15 seconds before I can update (using zabbix_sender protocol) a (trapper) item which I've just created with the API. Is that to be expected? BTW, this largish screenshot documents the progres: on the right runs a Python program which subscribes to MQTT messages, creates the Zabbix items (if they don't yet exist) and updates them. |

In addition to this request to use MQTT as transport between agent, proxy and server, I think it would also be very nice to have a Zabbix native MQTT publisher as media/action and Zabbix Native MQTT subscriber for the hosts and items. Especially because there are more and more network connected sensors and actuators that uses MQTT. |

Description |
There can be scenarios where an action operation shall be postponed in case it would take place beyond a certain time period. It would be nice, if it would be somehow possible to configure time periods per action operation, like it is currently possible in regular action conditions. I could also think of allowing to choose whether the operation should be postponed either beyond or within the specified time period(s). |

I have an idea to solve this problem https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=147817 I know, I can use user macro to approach this functionality, but it's not easy for the user. IPs in "agent interfaces" are no sense if the user want use only template (and not item directly on host). Moreover, IPs are duplicate (and not linked !) between macros and IPs configuration. I think it's a good feature for many users who want to check all (or more than one) interfaces on a host using host configuration (and not user macros...) |

Description |
When executing a webcheck against a server, if the server gives out a "slow" 302 , the Curl will keep following it eternally, without getting out of the loop. When this happens, we verified that one proxy (version 2.0.4) got stuck on that check and never resumed other checked. Resulting that, all the webchecks had no data and stuck, until the problem of 302 redirection loop was resolved, in two production occasions we have seen the loop go on for multiple hours, and all other webchecks were "stopped" and no more data was being collected. After a bit of scrutiny, enabling some more debug from libcurl using CURLOPT_VERBOSE, we detected the error and thereafter we eneabled CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS setting to 5, which actually fixed the problem for good. ( http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTMAXREDIRS ) So we suggest that an option for Server and Proxy conf file could be added to control the max amount of redirections that curl must follow, in order to give him an option to detect a 302 loop (like a browser is able to). We fix the problem adding: CURLE_OK != (err = curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5L)) || at line 332 from httptest.c, from version 2.0.4 – I also checkd the latest 2.2.2 version, and the option is not in place, then I decided to drop this request. |

Hi Guys, as is usually we rise the exception... using the HTTP Agent with some EMC Unity RestAPI we need to follow the redirect more than 10 levels.. Please before is to late for Zabbix v.5.0, can you extende the limit to 50 (CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS)? Thanks so much |

Description |
I really welcome the possibility to create loadable modules for zabbix - this might make solutions like https://github.com/digitalmediacenter/mysql_extend obsolete Typically sysadmins are good in writing code with script languages - therefore it would be great to integrate new monitoring functionality by using script languages. MySQL_Extend is a good example - a external check which invokes the mysql commandline hundred times needs a lot of resources at the database server and It might be great if zabbix would embed a python, ruby, perl or php interpreter to for implementation of custom modules. From my point of view this is smarter, because:

Currently Zabbix server allows older/newer proxies to connect and work without any warnings. Also some advanced users might want to do this intentionally, normally this would mean that the user does not realize that proxy's major version should match server's. Zabbix should inform user about this sitiation, at least in server's (and proxy?) log files, better also in proxy list in the front-end. |

Yes I can, if I have a cluster of services, however this cluster has two different ips to reference a single instance, eg the cluster is pointing to the ip and this ip xxx.xxx.xxx.1 are setting the reference and with zabbix is also XXX.XXX.XXX.2 ip, ip xxx.xxx.xxx.1 fall happens, the problem that it does not change the automatic ip 2. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Nov 04 ] |
Not sure whether I understand you right. In case you expect Zabbix to failover monitoring of items from Agent host interface 1 to Agent host interface 2, then this is not the intention by this. |
Comment by Anthony Martinet [ 2018 Oct 11 ] |
We have the same need here. Our agent are running on desktop machine that can connect either by wire or wireless. Dynamic-DNS is not possible so we add multiple agent interface, one with the fixed ip of the wire connection and one with the fixed ip of the wireless connection. It would be nice to have some kind of failover. |
Comment by Alex King [ 2020 Oct 23 ] |
You should be able to add two iPs in the answer section of a regular bind9 style dns A record, and/or if you've got something like f5/netscaler dns, add both to a pool, and associate that pool to the A record. dynamic dns is for a different use case for when a system has 1 DHCP given address that can change, not to flip between 2 ip addresses. If you can't do this with DNS it might be possible with keepalived, but that usually requires both ips to be in the same subnet, i think. That may make the connectivity to your system(s) more stable for well beyond just the zabbix use case. |

Hi, It would be very nice to have option, to add additional action in case if database monitor query (via ODBC) returns empty result. Before "databse monitor" item I was monitoring Oracle with Orabbix which did this job by himself substituting empty results with "none", "empty", FALSE, or whatever else. Now when I have switched to monitoring databases with ODBC, it's not always trivial to manipulate selects so they will return single value "none" instead of empty result especially when it's empty, multi-column result. |

How about a notification when an item goes unsupported ( see https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/notifications/unsupported_item )? Although filtering possibilities only include "Application" condition, but not item type. |
Comment by Denis [ 2014 Nov 24 ] |
I don't need actions on unsupported items. and items I'm talking about aren't "unsupported". They just in some periods of time return empty results, and other time they return some result. select username "username", to_char(timestamp, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "time_stamp", action_name "statement", os_username "os_username", userhost "userhost", returncode || decode(returncode, '1004', '-Wrong Connection', '1005', '-NULL Password', '1017', '-Wrong Password', '1045', '-Insufficient Priviledge', '0', '-Login Accepted', '--') "returncode" from sys.dba_audit_session where (sysdate - timestamp) * 24 < 1 and returncode <> 0 order by timestamp And of course if there are no items in this table i returns empty result which should be logged in zabbix host data as "empty", "none" or whatever else. At this time I have 4 such problematic queries, on of them was solved like this: SELECT username || ' ' || lock_date || ' ' || account_status as res FROM dba_users where ACCOUNT_STATUS like 'EXPIRED(GRACE)' or ACCOUNT_STATUS like 'LOCKED(TIMED)' union select 'none' from dual where not exists ( SELECT username FROM dba_users where ACCOUNT_STATUS like 'EXPIRED(GRACE)' or ACCOUNT_STATUS like 'LOCKED(TIMED)' ) --------------- Problematic: SELECT * FROM (select '- Tablespace ->', t.tablespace_name ktablespace, '- Type->', substr(t.contents, 1, 1) tipo, '- Used(MB)->', trunc((d.tbs_size - nvl(s.free_space, 0)) / 1024 / 1024) ktbs_em_uso, '- ActualSize(MB)->', trunc(d.tbs_size / 1024 / 1024) ktbs_size, '- MaxSize(MB)->', trunc(d.tbs_maxsize / 1024 / 1024) ktbs_maxsize, '- FreeSpace(MB)->', trunc(nvl(s.free_space, 0) / 1024 / 1024) kfree_space, '- Space->', trunc((d.tbs_maxsize - d.tbs_size + nvl(s.free_space, 0)) / 1024 / 1024) kspace, '- Perc->', decode(d.tbs_maxsize, 0, 0, trunc((d.tbs_size - nvl(s.free_space, 0)) * 100 / d.tbs_maxsize)) kperc from (select SUM(bytes) tbs_size, SUM(decode(sign(maxbytes - bytes), -1, bytes, maxbytes)) tbs_maxsize, tablespace_name tablespace from (select nvl(bytes, 0) bytes, nvl(maxbytes, 0) maxbytes, tablespace_name from dba_data_files union all select nvl(bytes, 0) bytes, nvl(maxbytes, 0) maxbytes, tablespace_name from dba_temp_files) group by tablespace_name) d, (select SUM(bytes) free_space, tablespace_name tablespace from dba_free_space group by tablespace_name) s, dba_tablespaces t where t.tablespace_name = d.tablespace(+) and t.tablespace_name = s.tablespace(+) order by 8) where kperc > 98 and tipo <> 'T' and tipo <> 'U' == User locks select sn.USERNAME || '@' || sn.machine, '|SID->' || m.SID, '|Serial->' || sn.SERIAL#, '|Lock Type->' || m.TYPE, decode(LMODE,1, 'Null', 2, 'Row-S (SS)', 3, 'Row-X (SX)', 4, 'Share', 5, 'S/Row-X (SSX)', 6, 'Exclusive') lock_type, decode(REQUEST, 0, 'None', 1, 'Null', 2, 'Row-S (SS)', 3, 'Row-X (SX)', 4, 'Share', 5, 'S/Row-X (SSX)', 6, 'Exclusive') lock_requested, '|Time (Sec)->' || m.CTIME "Time(sec)", '|ID1->' || m.ID1, '|ID2->' || m.ID2, '|SQL Text->' || t.SQL_TEXT from v$session sn, v$lock m, v$sqltext t where t.ADDRESS = sn.SQL_ADDRESS and t.HASH_VALUE = sn.SQL_HASH_VALUE and ((sn.SID = m.SID and m.REQUEST != 0) or (sn.SID = m.SID and m.REQUEST = 0 and LMODE != 4 and (ID1, ID2) in (select s.ID1, s.ID2 from v$lock S where REQUEST != 0 and s.ctime > 5 and s.ID1 = m.ID1 and s.ID2 = m.ID2))) order by sn.USERNAME, sn.SID, t.PIECE |

If your SQL queries return empty response and the corresponding items do not become unsupported, I presume they just contain an empty string. If so, why don't you use strlen() function to check that the result is empty and alert on that? |

Why don't you simply add "union select 'none'" to all the queries? The "select from dual where not exists ..." part does not seem to be necessary in the second example above. |

I've changed "graph description" term to "graph name" one, as actually we don't have descriptions for graphs. Also, extended suggestion to all HOST.* macro. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2015 Sep 15 ] |
Take into account Maybe it could be supported as it was previously working before 2.4 - expand macros from a host of first added (or first manually sorted?) item on the graph. |

Comment by Branislav Brna [ 2015 Sep 23 ] |
If anyone interested I found little workaround to achieve this:
{{HOSTNAME}:zbxhostname.sh["{HOST.NAME}"].last(0)}
I am guessing same can be applied to other right now not supported system macros in templates. And yeah I know its not exactly elegant, but it gets job done at least for now. |
Comment by Tomasz Kasperczyk [ 2017 Apr 10 ] |
I'd like to remind everyone that this issue is still unsolved. Let's say that I have 100 network switches added to Zabbix. I want to create traffic graphs for every single one of them. In order to do that, I create a template in which I define all items, triggers and graphs. Then I add all the switches to this template. As a result, each switch has its own set of graphs. The only problem is that I can't customize the names of these graphs! This is really frustrating because every time I look at a graph called "Network traffic on port 25" (a name specified in the template), I need to log into that switch and look up the 25th port description. If I could use user-defined macros in graph names, I could change the graph names to something like "{$NETWORK_TRAFFIC_25}" and then define these macros for every host which needs a custom name for certain graphs. So here's how it would look like:

Description |
I see several other suggestions hinting around the same general purpose, and if I missed this suggestion elsewhere, I apologize. I would love to be able to have discovery items (more specifically item prototypes) in templates populate inventory fields, or even create 'on-demand' fields, so to speak. The most obvious situation I've run into that this would be an ideal solution for would be stacked switches monitored by SNMP. I currently use discovery items to pull serial numbers, ROM versions, etc. from every switch unit in the stack. If we could populate an inventory field named with, say the {#SNMPINDEX} macro, it could create serial number and software version inventory items for every unit of the stack without having to create items/templates specific to the number of units in each deployed stack. It could also accommodate stacks with more than 2 units (Since there is only Serial Number A and B currently, and our current switches can stack up to 12 units) without having to dump info into the larger text fields (like notes). I am sure there would be other uses using the agents or user parameters, but that was the single most impacted situation I've been trying to work around currently. This would be very closely linked to customize-able inventory fields (which I know I've seen other posts for). |

Comment by James Kirsop [ 2018 Nov 12 ] |
I've got a different use case but requiring the same underlying principle. I'm using LLD to discover the hosts on a Failover HyperV Cluster. I can pull the node (i.e. the physical host), but I'd like to put this into the inventory on discovery, so we can (using the API) search for hosts on a particular node and pull their statistics. Given that the host could move between nodes, we would update this upon each LLD run. |
Comment by Guilherme de Sousa Caria [ 2020 Jan 23 ] |
I'm facing the same obstacle. I have created a rule with Network Interface Discovery and an item prototype to search for the MAC Adresses for each network interface and I needed that information into the Inventory. So sad to see that it is impossible even to intervain manually in each item created by this rule pointing it out where the information need to go into the Inventory.
|
Comment by thomas [ 2021 Sep 16 ] |
Same need here : it would be nice to automatically populate the inventory for a host with multiple cards or modules to get all serial numbers and part numbers. |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2022 Jan 19 ] |
Very usefull and as mentioned especially if we have an implementation of ZBXNEXT-336 available. If we do discovery on Serial numbers for example and then populating just two fields would be kind of a limitation. Just want to put it out there that it should be considered (and I think preferred) to implement customisation to inventory fields together with this one |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2022 Feb 04 ] |
An option to select inventory field in item prototypes will cover only a few limited use cases. I think it should be addressed under ZBXNEXT-336 to have a proper complete solution. |

Comment by Christian Anton [ 2017 Apr 06 ] |
Actually, this would be an absolute killer feature! I often stumble over desired setups where it would be very benefitial to have, say a Zabbix server in a natted network, a proxy having a public fixed IP address and then other proxies, again behind NAT devices. Also, larger organization structures with networks spread over the world would benefit from this feature quite a lot. |
Comment by Marc [ 2017 Apr 06 ] |
I'm a bit concerned about the increased delay by DataSenderFrequency resp. ProxyDataFrequency of each proxy in the chain. When it's just about breaking the TCP connection, then this can likely justified by a reverse proxy like HAProxy: Zabbix server --> HAProxy --> Zabbix proxy <--> Zabbix agent Zabbix server <-- HAProxy <-- Zabbix proxy <--> Zabbix agent When it's on the other hand about a connection direction change, then there's indeed something new required. Something that may act like a configuration cache and data queue or data transceiver, depending on the proxy mode: Zabbix server --> Queue <-- Zabbix proxy <--> Zabbix agent Zabbix server <-- Transceiver --> Zabbix proxy <--> Zabbix agent Where I'd actually limit it to the latter, the Zabbix transceiver. But I think now I'm slightly off-topic Edit: Transceiver does not appear appropriate. Mediator is possibly a better term. |
Comment by Christian Anton [ 2017 Apr 06 ] |
Yes, it's usually the second setup that I see a need for, and the "Queue" and "Tansceiver" is actually exactly what the Proxy does, but unfortunately not in such a chain. Sure you would have to set your DataSenderFrequency accordingly, but it should be OK to just take a little longer until agent configuration drops through the chain of proxies. |
Comment by Andrew [ 2017 Sep 06 ] |
I have some hosts that are in a remote DC and have some nodes connected via a VPN to those hosts.

Comment by Fred Blaise [ 2017 Nov 17 ] |
Hi all, I stumbled upon that, and as a matter of fact, I always thought that chaining proxies in any way was not supported. Currently running 3.2.7. However, I have a setup that's like this: zabbix agent <-- zabbix proxy in DMZ (passive) <-- zabbix proxy internal network (passive) <-- zabbix master It seems I am getting values for all, no error. Everything looks fine. Am I just getting lucky? Or that configuration is actually supported? Thank you. |
Comment by Tomasz Zieliński [ 2018 Jul 20 ] |
@Fred, as far i understand Zabbix Master sends configuration to zabbix proxy internal, so you setup it on zabbix gui, but in what way zabbix proxy in DMZ receive configuration from proxy Internal ? How do you setup it ? can you share some config ?
|
Comment by Marcos Machado [ 2021 Feb 28 ] |
My main take on this one is regarding security. Zabbix server often has lots of key to many kingdoms (e.g. ssh keys for remote commands) and creeps me out letting its server port opened to the world. One single vulnerability in a publicly available 10051 could be a catastrophe. A passive proxy in a DMZ consolidating all the data from agents and other proxies could avoid exposing the server to the world entirely. ,-------------, ZBX server ---> | ZBX passive | <--- ZBX remote active proxy <---> ZBX active/passive agents | proxy | <--- ZBX active agents `-------------` My approach so far is to restrict access to the zabbix server based on source IPs of the proxies, but this is cumbersome, specially in environments where active proxy resides behind failovers and can arrive from many source IPs (some backup links are dynamic)

overall, it seems to mix a bit too many issues in a single patch... i'd probably suggest to split them up in individual patches/issues, otherwise this is unlikely to be investigated |
Comment by Tomasz Kłoczko [ 2015 Jul 19 ] |
It works for you because you are not working on fresh source tree. Again .. above reorganization in .am makes dbschema* targets not needed and all changes in source files are automatically tracked by make. If any source file will be changed or per script will be changes all .sql files and src/libs/zbxdbhigh/discovery.c will be automatically regenerated, and if it will be anything wrong errors instantly will be displayed. As well it will be no mistakes by using not regenerated .sql or src/libs/zbxdbhigh/discovery.c files. Still "make distcheck" target needs to be fixed. distcheck target is using dist. So on final generation dist tarballs should be used at last "dist" in fresh tree if not "distcheck". |
Comment by richlv [ 2015 Jul 19 ] |
i do a clean checkout, but i do run a couple of things first - that's kinda expected removing dbschema target is no good as developers do use it on top of that, your patch seems to mistake dbschema.c for discovery.c. most likely zabbix won't compile when that patch would be used |
Comment by Tomasz Kłoczko [ 2015 Jul 19 ] |
Really try it. With my patch no one will need to remember to run this target. Plain "make" in top directory or in directory where should be scheas and everything will be generated.
Such mistakes would be possible to find instantly if distcheck target would be working Really guys pleas keep everything correct to have working distcheck target. in Makefile.am you can add "check:" target extensions so if on generating final source "distcheck" will fail on one of those tests will not produce final tar ball. Most of the people hates automake but mostly because they don't understand what is possible to do with this framework. |
Comment by richlv [ 2015 Jul 20 ] |
i'm not talking about remembering to run it - when developers make changes to database files and want to quickly test them, it's much faster to run 'make dbschema' as for distcheck, xz compression - sure, those are definitely good things to aim for and have |
Comment by Tomasz Kłoczko [ 2015 Jul 20 ] |
OK, with my patch you need to run only "make" so I think that it is even shorter and you don't need to go to project root directory But seriously: really creating additional targets instead make dependencies is not proper way of building make automation. |

Description |
Previous versions of Zabbix (before v6.0) had a screen "Monitoring" -> "Services". Unfortunately, this functionality has been completely lost in v6.0. Nevertheless, this kind of reporting is very actual; as it is a functionality lost in the new version. There should be both: a reports and a dashboard widget; ideally – with an additional possibility to filter services by a tag (to display a report by a some subset of services only – for example, for a higher 2 levels of services tree). ZBXNEXT-7392 describes a similar problem; however, that ZBXNEXT relates to the current state screen, but this one – to the reports. |

Add a widget to show grouped items data. For example, the Proxmox Template discovers "Nodes" using LLD. Now we have the following items (among others) for each discovered node: proxmox.node.cpu{#NODE.NAME} proxmox.node.memused{#NODE.NAME}
If you can provide a widget that shows a row for each {#NODE.NAME} and a column of proxmox.node.cpu{#NODE.NAME} and proxmox.node.memused{#NODE.NAME} that would be very great! (i.e., group the user-selected columns using key id or maybe LLD macro) If the items value could be displayed using "Bar" and/or "Indicators" (as in "Top hosts" widget) that would be much greater!
Note: Proxmox Template is given as an example. The widget request can be generalized to any LLD items in any Template.
Very thanks! |

I third this one with a slight addition. The ability to manually input items from different hosts. Eg, make a Top Hosts widget for selected data stores throughout my environment.

Currently auto-register only use metadata field limited to 255 char to filter hosts.
This is usefull to filter between windows and linux but very limited if you want more automation.
Auto-register working with agent active, I would be nice to have another field that use system.sw.packages to auto add template to hosts. Currently theres no easy and automated way to add template to host
The process could be something like :
Host register to server => Server detect windows/linux metadata and filter on that (if auto discover rule is set) => Server filter on system.sw.packages and add template to hosts (with rules added in autoregister action).

Hi,
Sorry, English is not my main language so I might be unclear. The goal here is to automatically add templates to a server when specifics packages are detected.
Currently (well in 6.0, I didn't work on this since) auto-registration does not give a way to simply add templates to a server whithout manual actions or specific API scripts (I might be wrong but this is what I concluded after some research)
We can simply use a variable to get the OS type (Linux/Windows) and add the server to the correct group with auto-registration.
It could be nice to add a way to filter on system.sw.packages and with autoregister rules, add templates to a server when a packages is detected.
Simple example :
Installing zabbix active agent with auto-registration on nginx server :
Is this easier to understand ? |

Hi guys, Is there any news about this feature?, the new graph widgets on dashboards are great but it's hard for some users to use them since widgets can't be expanded to a full screen, and creating as many new dashboards (for only one graph) as graph widgets you have, doesn't sound efficient. it would be good to have a button to expand the widget popping over the dashboard to full screen, and be able to minimize the widget to its normal size and position on the dashboard.

It would be nice if Zabbix Frontend would feature support for HTTP 2.0. Currently it does not and, in order for every option to work in the GUI, HTTP 2.0 need to be disabled in reverse proxy options. This causes another issue. For example for nginx, due to construction of processes, one cannot simply disable HTTP 2.0 for one virtual host only. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40987592/can-i-enable-http-2-for-specific-virtual-hosts-only-on-nginx for details. Had Zabbix supported HTTP 2.0, everyone's life would be easier, I guess. |

The Audit log report may reveal when an object like Host groups, Hosts, Items, Triggers... you name it, was changed by whom. The Audit log is only available to users of type Zabbix Super Admin - for good reasons of course. Further, it is rather useful to find out who did what, resp. to walk over the traced actions as a whole. In a multi-user environment, it is valuable to users to see who has changed what, when, on a particular object. So, how about extending all the configuration views available to users of type Zabbix Admin, with another tab showing the audit log for the currently edited object? This list should of course only list actions of users sharing the same user group. The list should also not reveal a user's IP address. Extending the scope to configuration objects only available to Zabbix Super Admin users might be worth to think of too. |

When any of Zabbix Server subprocesses (poller, trapper, whatever) dies, Zabbix server master process terminates all other subprocesses and dies deliberately. There are some serious drawbacks to this: So why not to have restart procedure for died subprocess instead of killing the whole server? Also, if subprocesses are restarted, this can be used as a last resort means to fight with transient memory leaks by 'reloading' Zabbix server, effectively gracefully killing all subprocesses and restarting them back while retaining caches and stuff. |

Description |
Since Zabbix assumes all incoming data in UTF8 it makes accepting of non-UTF8 values cumbersome. It would be great if Zabbix supported a preprocessing rule for encoding data into UTF8. |
Comments |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2018 Aug 20 ] |
Hey all! Please have a look at the attached acceptance criteria document that describes proposed enhancements for UTF8 encoding. It has all chances to be implemented in Zabbix 4.2. Let me know what you think. Is there anything to improve? I appreciate any feedback. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
Use case is unclear to me. Preprocessing is done by server. Server gets data from proxies, Java gateway, active agents and sender using JSON-based protocol. JSON format implies that string values are encoded in Unicode. Therefore this feature will only help in case non-UTF-8 data is produced by passive agents, SNMP and IPMI devices, external checks, HTTP agent checks, etc. executed by server itself. Or in a hypothetical scenario when non-UTF-8 data is produced in the middle of preprocessing pipeline. Am I missing something? |
Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
Good point cyclone for checks executed on Zabbix proxy, preprocessing must only be done on Zabbix proxy. |
Comment by Vitaly Zhuravlev [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
cyclone, didn't you describe enough use cases? |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
Dear vzhuravlev, where do you get CSV file from? |
Comment by Vitaly Zhuravlev [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
external script for example or from agent userparam |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
My point is that if this external script is executed by proxy, then:
And in case if agent userparameter there will be a similar protocol issue if agent is active. Even in the case of passive check there could be issues because of a special meaning of 0 byte in passive check response (it separates value and error message). This is basically the reason why agent items dealing with files (log*, vfs.file.contents, etc.) all have encoding as a parameter. |
Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2018 Aug 29 ] |
Currently it looks like this task needs preprocessing on Zabbix proxy and agent specific preprocessing on agent to be implemented ? |

Description |
The current approach of distributing item checks may lead to peaks of data collection occupying all poller processes, while idling between peaks. The following graph shows the poller busy time together with an 'Zabbix agent' item of a random number collected every second: The peaks are caused by a lot of SNMP GET requests with an interval of five minutes. During the peaks the poller processes are too busy to process other item types. It would be nice if Zabbix could ensure to use poller processes more efficiently. That's to say, avoiding peaks as much as possible. |

Comment by Samuel [ 2017 Sep 12 ] |
I am experiencing similar behaviour on istallation, which has mostly SNMP devices. On the proxy performance graph I see peaks to 700 vps (average is about 150 vps) in 5 minute interval, which is consistant with our update interval (5m). All SNMP interfaces have enabled bulk requests. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2017 Nov 03 ] |
I suppose these installation are new ones. have not that much hosts/items and all them have identical pool interval settings. So, current approach does not have enough "room" to spread out polling. |
Comment by Marc [ 2017 Nov 13 ] |
Dear zalex_ua, the installation is pretty old and the affected Zabbix proxy has quite some hosts. However, it's true that there are a couple of hosts (around 30?) that have each thousands of LLD generated SNMP items. |

Information of DebugLevel 4 and 5 is very helpful when investigating complex bugs or simply troubleshooting certain processes in Zabbix lacking user-visible error messaging. I cannot overestimate the usefulness of the runtime control of logging level on process type and individual process level. Unfortunately, on highly loaded environments it's not really an option. Especially when the issue being investigated is quite rare, unpredictable and can only be detected some time after inception. Enabling additional logging would slow down the system and produce too much information to analyse. My suggestion is to introduce a cache for the most recent logs of all possible levels and a runtime control option to dump this temporary storage into logs on demand. Basically, same strategy is used in flight recorders with great success. |

The real reason for this is that some users only grant permission of a single directory to zabbix. They prefer all content from zabbix are placed at the same place, not spreading out as the default configuration. They will use the rpm installation instead of yum. So it would be appreciated to keep the option, though may not be used commonly. |

Description |
Implement filter on closed by correlation problems. If i widely use correlations, problems dashboard become useless, because of tons of closed by correlation rules triggers. |

Make this filter available in API |
Comment by Joachim Vertommen [ 2021 Mar 11 ] |
Hello, Are there any plans it implement this yet? Because this poses a really big problem to us. Today again I am confronted with an incident that floods the history table with tens of thousands of alarms in a few hours time.
For your information I'll describe an example of a use-case on how we use trigger-based event correlation and how this can generate lots of correlated alarms:
The overall result of this is that all “Host_X: BGP peer to host_A Down” alarms are resolved by the correlation rules. (See attachment) This works very well except for one thing:
For the Recent problems view this is annoying, but it is workable.
Therefore it would be very helpful if it was possible to filter out correlated alarms. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2023 Oct 10 ] |
In addition to the above, extend this filter to show duration greater / less than X seconds. At least greater than 0 seconds, which will then filter out both correlation problems as well as other 0 second events. (yes, users create such find&nodata trigger combos.) Another use case why "Duration less than X" is important - to filter and fix annoying short duration problems which contribute to alert fatigue. |
Comment by Joachim Vertommen [ 2023 Oct 10 ] |
Now that since Zabbix 6.4 we have cause and symptom problems this issue could be easily solved by and extra operation in the event correlation rules. Next to "Close old events" and "Close new events" we need two more operations:

Description |
From the documentation (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/overview):
In "Overview", Zabbix displays "OK/Green" state for triggers with "Unknown" status which is misleading. Zabbix should probably use a different color to highlight them (e.g. white/grey). Also, it would be great to be able to hide them by using a filter. |

I've always wondered, since Execute Now (Check Now) was introduced in 4.0.0, why this button isn't available in Monitoring -> Problems View? Often I fix event problem of an item that only checks every 1h or more. Then I want to check the item value after my fix, so the problem Event will resolve. Sadly it is only available in the Items Administration. I would like to see this button also in the Views:

If possible... ?
|
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2020 Sep 19 ] |
Hi sancho, thank you for supporting my Feature Request. Sadly I disagree with you MOC. If you would add Execute Now to the Host Context Menu, you would be unable to control which item exactly receives the command. As it's implemented currently, you explicitly select the item(s) you want to check. I would like to see it implemented like this: You view the list of problems, solve some of them administrative, and you know that the item will only get checked again sometimes in the next 1-6h for example, so you want to get the values NOW:

Comment by sancho [ 2020 Sep 22 ] |
Hi Marco, You are absolutely right, your option is more logical. Hopefully they can implement it, it would save a lot of steps and time. A greeting. |

Ideally we should also be able to set the permission to do an "Execute now" in the User roles. |

joachim.vertommen Yes, this becomes necessary due to the changes in the permissions in Zabbix 5.2. |

Excuse me? This might sound similar, but it's a different request. It might have been added to "Latest data" in the meantime, but I would like to see it in Monitoring -> Problems View. This hasn't changed afaik, so this request is still unresolved. |
Comment by Joachim Vertommen [ 2022 Jul 01 ] |
I agree with Marco. An operator should be able to request an update of all underlying items of a problem without having to know which items. It's a totally different use case. |
Comment by Mickael Martin (Cyres) [ 2022 Jul 01 ] |
Yep, I understand, sorry. For your information, there is a new role for admin and user to get the last value via "Check now". |

For working with a large set of hosts to monitor I need some way to search for the hosts I am interested in, e.g. all hosts on a proxy p1 and manually assigned template xyz that are not in host group abc. Something like that. I cannot speak for Zabbix 4.2, but in Zabbix 4.0 searching for the hosts to work with appears to be very limited. Very often I have to use ^F in the browser to search for the items I am interested in. This could be improved. |

Today I can only select hosts by name. I have 100s of hosts and some of them are production and some of them are development. I want to be able to use a graph and select * for hosts.

Comment by gofree [ 2021 Aug 10 ] |
I donth its possible. This is indeed needed in my opinion as well. Basically every time I add a host in to hostgroup ( manually or discovery ) the dashboard needs to be updated. Its kinda non-effective when thinking about the purpose of the dashboards - high level overview for anybody ( an/or managers ).
If hostgroup is no option tag filtering could help as well, honestly Id like to see both hostgroups and tags.
Thanks |

dont think so thats a duplicate - just imagine that you dont know the naminch schema of hosts in a specific hostgroup you will not able to write a regexp to it you can 100% rely on - in my opinion this option is a must have in addition to regexps functionality , nice to have would be tgas as well as the host can be tagged |
Comment by Travis Johnson [ 2023 Mar 28 ] |
We would also like to see this added, hopefully in a near future release. We have hundreds of servers, network devices, and Vcenters that we organize with host groups. |
Comment by Dave Johnson [ 2024 Jan 26 ] |
I'm really hoping this will be added one day too please. My example is I have a whole dashboard page filled with graphs for 35 Zabbix proxies, Every time we add a new proxy/server i have to go through each of the 30 graphs and add this 1 new server in, when it could just pull hosts from the Zabbix Proxies host group i created. Ideally I'd like to have a dashboard page for each of the 35 sites we manage but there is too much room for human error and i think it would quickly become outdated especially as I'm not the only one creating new hosts in my organization. |

Description |
Zabbix 5.2.0 introduced the new item type "Script", and like the pre-processing feature it only supports JavaScript. IMHO JavaScript is nothing a typical IT system administrator like me, working at a Microsoft centric manage services provider (MSP) is capable of. I cannot write a single word of JavaScript as a Citrix and Microsoft Server Administrator, nor can my co-workers. I have co-workers which are web-developers and they can write JavaScript, but they aren't system administrators. My point is: Typical administrators can write PowerShell, Python, Perl, Bash. but not JavaScript. I personally can write very good PowerShell 7 scripts on Linux.
So my request is as following: Please add support to insert any script into the code field other than JavaScript and let me just choose the interpreter as an additional drop-down field in Zabbix Frontend. So the Zabbix server administrator is responsible to install the language needed on Zabbix Proxy/Server like perl, python, PowerShell, or whatever for the script interpretation. |
Comments |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2020 Oct 30 ] |
Maybe I should've created this ZBXNEXT with a slightly different focus, not especially about adding PowerShell, but advancing the "External Scripts" feature, which is unchanged since quite some time. Especially with the background that Zabbix focuses more and more on making templates exchangeable between Zabbix installation. External Scripts make this quite complicated. Maybe the external scripts, should be manageable from Zabbix Frontend. |

I believe it's already there. As long as a Zabbix agent is on the system, you can check for every item. For Windows like service.state[spooler] and if it's ture, link a Printserver template. |

Today I played around with the Zabbix inventory feature. For that purpose I wanted set some item properties from different templates to Populates host inventory field via Mass update. But I had to discover, that Mass update doesn't offer the possibility to change the Populates host inventory field property of any item. This is a limitation I would like to see addressed.

Description |
Hello, Due to possible environment restrictions, strict setups or other exceptions, there sometimes is a need of having separate Zabbix servers for each of the environments, while retaining the possibility of centralized overview of monitoring as a whole. An effective solution would be a dashboard that would i.e. show data from Zabbix server A in combination with Zabbix server B, but not just performance data, as it is possible already, but a broader one, that would show problems from both or more servers and perhaps even make possible to access data and graphs from mentioned servers. Please consider implementing this feature. Best Regards, |

Now, zabbix agent return information regardless namespaces. So, on machines with userspace containers it may give "wrong" data (ie. proc.num[] return number of processes in all namespaces, not in his own namespace). It is very inconvient to monitor container's host machine with such behavior.
Can you make optional switch for agent to look up only in his own namespace for all returnted data (proc.num/proc.mem/...)? |

Description |
If you try to create in Oracle RDBMS Zabbix users, table space i.e from provided Zabbix creation scripts on modern Oracle RDBMS (let say starting from 12c (12.2) and have not read the related Zabbix documentation that we need a 1-2byte unicode (UTF-8) on Unicode national characters probably You will fail with error like that. description nvarchar2(2048) DEFAULT '' , * ERROR at line 5: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype The NVARCHAR2 datatype was introduced a long time ago by Oracle for databases that want to use Unicode for some columns while keeping another character set for the rest of the database (which uses VARCHAR2). The NVARCHAR2 is a Unicode-only datatype. It was actual with RDBMS version < 10. Theoretically it was more relevant in old RDBMS versions where used non-Unicode encoding on DB - but instead use national encoding. For an example: BLT8MSWIN1257 (Baltic states 8 bit windows-1257 code page). Starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), the default database character set of a database created from the General Purpose/Transaction Processing or the Data Warehousing template is Unicode AL32UTF8 and Unicode national character set is AL16UTF16 by default. Oracle recommends that you use Unicode AL32UTF8 as the database character set and AL16UTF16 as national character set. The NVARCHAR2 column, which uses the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET which will almost always be AL16UTF16 for now is really only useful in a couple of cases. The first, and by far most common, is when you have a legacy application whose NLS_CHARACTERSET doesn't support Unicode and cannot be migrated to Unicode but where you want to support Unicode data in a handful of columns. That's not the case here. The second would be when the database does support Unicode but you want to use the UTF-16 encoding for some reason such as the ability to store primarily Japanese and Chinese data using mostly 2 bytes per character in UTF-16 rather than 3 bytes per character in UTF-8. But if you do that, you're still (barring 12.2 and the ability to have 32k VARCHAR2 columns) limited to 4000 bytes (2000 characters in a UTF-16 column). Hence the error when you try to define NVARCHAR2(4000) which would need at least 8000 bytes to store 4000 characters. If you do need to store more than 4000 bytes of data and you're using Oracle 11.2 or later, you'd have to use a LOB data type (NCLOB). If your NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8, any VARCHAR2 column will support Unicode (via the UTF-8 encoding). In 99.9% of cases, you'd never want to create an NVARCHAR2 column at all now days. So but what to do if You still want to use Zabbix provided scripts on already working root container CDB database. Thanks Oracle that now we can use different encoding in a root container database (CDB) an pluggable database (PDB). So we can create another PDB with NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=UTF-8 - there is no problem. But what to do when You can't do that or Your DBA will not do that. Is it possible change current (working CDB) from AL16UTF16 to UTF-8? It's possible...but do it on your own risk. I'm recommend that you perform a full database backup before changing the national character set!!! It is always not better choice to use 'ALTER DATABASE' command to change the character set Like the database character set, the national character set is defined when the database is initially created and can usually no longer be changed, at least not easily or without involving quite a lot of work. One of the options: [oracle@ora19 root]$ rlwrap sqlplus / AS SYSDBA SQL> select parameter,value from v$nls_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET' or parameter='NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET'; PARAMETER ---------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------- NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16 SQL> Select owner, table_name, column_name from dba_tab_columns where (data_type = 'NCHAR' or data_type = 'NVARCHAR2' or data_type = 'NCLOB') and owner != 'SYS' and owner != 'SYSTEM'; TIP for information If there are no table columns of the types NCHAR, NVARCHAR2 or NCLOB on the database, you can change the national character set without encountering any problems. However, if the database contains tables with NCHAR data type columns, you should perform a check to see whether these columns also contain data. You have an option ALTER those columns to non national encoding, remove data etc. So if there is no data ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8 will work. SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; SQL> STARTUP MOUNT; SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION; SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0 SCOPE = MEMORY; SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0 SCOPE = MEMORY; SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN; SQL> ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8; If there is no Errors like: ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8 * ERROR at line 1: ORA-12717: Cannot issue ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET when NCLOB, NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 data exists Regarding to TIP - read it what to do. Otherwise You could try to do the following in this place: SQL> update props$ set value$='UTF8' where name in ('NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET'); SQL> commit; After: SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; SQL> STARTUP; Let's check again: SQL> select parameter,value from v$nls_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET' or parameter='NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET'; PARAMETER ---------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------- NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8 We are done! But instead of this all - my recommendation could be change NVARCHAR2 and NCLOB column data types to VARCHAR2 and CLOB.
cd /zabbix/install/scripts/with/oracle/scheme
sed -i 's/nvarchar2/varchar2/g; s/nclob/clob/g;' *
Oracle recommendation is that you create your database with the AL32UTF8 database character set, and move all your national character set data to normal VARCHAR2 and CHAR columns |

Hi Alexei, yes, is correct, I want read-only permissions to all host groups so if a host group is added I don't have to make any changes to the permissions. Regards, Dario
|
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2020 Feb 06 ] |
Perhaps we should support a default host group so that if a host is created it will be automatically linked to the group. In this case we could control what permissions are set for the default host group and thus all new hosts. |
Comment by Dario Messina [ 2020 Feb 24 ] |
Hi, the important thing is that you can use all host groups in the search filter for host groups.

We have a template with an item and associated trigger and graph. Currently to see the graph for each host that uses that template in a screen, we need to manually add the graph for each host. Considering our ecosystem is in AWS with numerous dynamic hosts, it's really painful to keep updating this screen manually each time the host set changes.
We would like to see an option to add a graph from template. Then the screen will find out which all host uses that template and show its corresponding graph. Something similar to how graph prototype works for a single host.
Following is an example of manually created screen -

Comment by Abhishek Dasgupta [ 2019 Oct 02 ] |
How is this a duplicate? That one talks about same host, this one spans across multiple hosts and has nothing to do with LLD. This request is purely to add a feature to create screen with graph from template. And then screen automatically figure out which all hosts using that graph and render them. |

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood the description. Somewhat similar issue ZBXNEXT-927 - asks for grouping graphs of items created from LLD. |

Any plan so far to get this implemented anytime soon? We are migrating to latest version (4.4) and creating all these screens is very tedious without this proposed solution. |

It would be great if a user on some machine could set the trigger to the acknowledge if the trigger was from that machine. That would be cool, because it wouldn't require any chnages in our structure, or aditional rules in firewall. If that user is testing some services, and he is starting and stoping it, he probably doesn't want that others get email notification. So if we would add remote command wall which would print message to all user which are logged on. The next step in trigger action would be email, with 60 seconds delay of remote command. In that case the user would be able to say ok, I know what I am doing, and he would set acknowledge. I think that would be a really really great and wonderfull feature. |

Could be interesting to use the naming variable used to create trigger and items from the template. in my context : i have done a picture of a switch and i created each status icons for it :
So if we could use Variables from the template to dynamicly name label or Urls we could do something like this : in template {#IFNAME} and {#IFALIAS} for example int the interface 12 of my switch result as as Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/12 and P4530G3NEW-NODE03 vmnic1 So if we could put thos variable/macros in the URLs name part of the map object :
The result in the map would be :
The feature would be useful when you have switchs with detailed description Like RJ45 wall outlet wit int the office :
in my case i have in the port description (ifAlias) : interface GigabitEthernet2/0/21 So you will see quiclky with the map where is plugged each port of the switch. and of course you can use this for any other context depending the description. |

Description |
In web scenarios it is possible to extract data returned from a webpage in to a variable which is used in a later step. What is not possible is to html decode the webpage data, to be able to post this back later.
For example using the following HTTP response:
<html><head><title>Working...</title></head> <body> <form method="POST" name="hiddenform" action="https://opac.stpeters.school.nz:443/"> <input type="hidden" name="wctx" value="rm=0&id=passive&ru=%2f" /><noscript><p>Script is disabled. Click Submit to continue.</p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></noscript> </form> <script language="javascript">window.setTimeout('document.forms[0].submit()', 0);</script> </body></html>
It is possible to extract out the form action and the value of the wctx input: {action}=regex:<form .action="([^"])" {wctx}=regex:name="wa"[\s]value="([^"]*)"
The problem is when in a following step I try to post back wctx, the POST data appears as: wctx=rm%3D0%26amp%3Bid%3Dpassive%26amp%3Bru%3D%252f%253fsr%253dsso%2526sr%253dsso which is invalid.
Currently there are the macro functions {{macro}.urlencode()} and {{macro}.urldecode()} which will URL encode and decode (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.2/manual/web_monitoring) a string. There are also the macro functions {{macro}.regsub(<pattern>,<output>)} and {{macro}.iregsub(<pattern>,<output>)} which do regular expression substitutions, however these are not supported against web scenario variables (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.2/manual/config/macros/macro_functions).
Hence this request is for two new macro functions: {{macro}.htmlencode()} and {{macro}.htmldecode()}. These functions would HTML escape special characters in macros and remove the escaping respectably. A list of characters to be escaped can be found at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html
The following forum post also discusses the exact issue I’m having and the reason for requesting these functions: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/51074-html-entities-in-web-scenario

Description |
Purpose is to use single Master item for really polling data, which can be used for LLD and for polling data for discovered items. For example on a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcztWztGjZA the expert uses a single Master item with update interval 5 seconds for both: perform LLD and as a Master item for discovered items. The small update interval in 5 seconds (or for example 60 seconds) is fine for discovered items, but it's bad for LLD rule, as it's too often. Of course it's possible to create one more Master really polling data item, to separate polling and discovering intervals. But that's not an elegant way .
What if single Master item could have small update interval, but based on it, we could create a dependent item with preprocessing step "Discard with heartbeat" and a value with, say, 1 hour? It looks to me like a quite smart approach. I think it's easy to implement - copy an existing function for "Discard unchanged with heartbeat" and simplify it a bit.

Looking to new modular templates, for example in "Template Module Linux block devices by Zabbix agent" we see 2 processioning steps on a LLD rule "Block devices discovery" (dependent type): So, while master is polled each 1 minute, LLD engine actually is not stressed by unneeded work too often. But, to achieve this, we would need to trim out possible "runtime" data in received JSON of master item. And in current case it's luckily easy to do it by simple preprocessing step JSONPath. But in my original case I would need to write some JavaScript preprocessing step, which would not be so easy and it would make additional load by frequent execution of JavaScript step. So, this ZBXNEXT is still makes sense and is valid . |

It would be also very nice to have this as a 'rate-limiting'. I. e., to allow the user to define both the value count threshold and the units of time. |

I would suggest to still preserve the "discard" preproc feature but please implement a more "smart" concept similar to "deduplication" concept. |

Description |
it would be great to customise available profile fields - current hardcoded list is very inflexible. if implemented, it should be considered how to tie that into permission system (maybe some users shouldn't see all data) and possible custom lists per some grouping (hostgroup ? templates ?) |

depends on this : ZBXNEXT-337 |
Comment by Admin [ 2012 May 25 ] |
This is something I'd be very interested in. It's good to see the improvements in 2.0 - with the automatic inventory. But half the things we've collected from the agents. e.g CPU spec, RAM spec, HD spec, graphics card, BIOS version, motherboard spec etc have no use! The only one I've currently got in use is OS. It would also be good to be able to customise the inventory overview screen (rather than the specific host), to only view certain types of information. |
Comment by Doug Irvine [ 2012 Sep 12 ] |
This is something we would use. We are using VB scripts to get inventory information back from windows systems, but I'm having problems inserting the received data into the correct title. For example we can pull back information about memory DIMMs but don't have a relevant name to assign it to (at present I use Type) Being able to configure the overview screen would be great too as differing teams have different requirements for looking at data. Another good idea would be to be able to use the .csv output feature in this screen so you can provide reports. Zabbix V2 is great, I really appreciate the new features. Regards, Doug |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Mar 05 ] |
I think that would also greatly simplify connections to CMDBs like i-doit or iTop . |
Comment by Karsten Tröß [ 2014 Feb 14 ] |
This is the feature what we need too. Our server are (nearly all) virtual. We don't need an location, contact, single software fields or so. A good topic is if is possible to delete unnecessary fields. An important thing: we use ubuntu server mit zabbix from repo -> the changes must be available after an update! Regards |
Comment by Alain Ganuchaud [ 2014 Sep 04 ] |
As a workaround, we use translation for Host Inventory fields customization ... off course, limitation is obvious, you don't see same fields names depending on the choosen langage. |
Comment by daniel.lin [ 2014 Nov 25 ] |
+1 for this, you know, ability to customize is the key to make automation for the service management more fancy! |
Comment by Micha Slezak [ 2016 May 30 ] |
Very usefull feature and as I said in othe feature request. Good idea is to od as crowdfunding page for each feature request and contribute on this feature as we need. I found nice page http://www.zabbix.com/development_services.php where on the bottom of this page is possibility to Contribute on specific feature. I think that it can be way how to promote some feature requests and to do something like crowdfunding on specific feature. Zabbix dev setup price and we can contribute on this feature I think it can be good way how to pay for each feature and to to pay whole development by one customer. |
Comment by Shriharsh Thanvi [ 2017 Jul 14 ] |
+1. This is a very old request and can turn out to be most useful feature like LLD. |
Comment by Micha Slezak [ 2017 Aug 01 ] |

Comment by dimir [ 2020 Feb 26 ] |
Meanwhile, for those who haven't seen it, here's another request for this feature |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2021 Oct 29 ] |
Just wanted to add my 2 cents here. Love the inventory in Zabbix, literally always set it up. But if you've ever worked with a switching stack of 7 switches and you want to add all of their Serial Numbers then what? Well, you can use the Software application fields maybe? Because there is only two Serial Number fields. Shouldn't be too much of an overhaul to add a feature for anyone that wants more than 2 serial numbers or any other possible input field.
Time to allow us the ability to choose our own fields and field names! |
Comment by Frederick Loucks [ 2022 May 27 ] |
A feature 12 years in the making here... |

currently it is only possible to add comments to triggers. items (for example, cautioning against too short intervals, explaining needed permissions on agent side etc); ideally, this would be coupled with host inventory, so that these entities might gain multiple fields instead of a single 'comment' field. in that case, ability to customise profile fields would be mandatory - ZBXNEXT-336 |

Comment by Matthias Baur [ 2013 Oct 17 ] |
We also would really appreciate if this could be build-in. Especially for items! |
Comment by tagwolf [ 2014 Jul 30 ] |
Is this still planned? It's a prerequisite for adding custom inventory items and kinda a big feature! How can I help? I'm good with relational DB's and php. We already edited our custom fields to store different information. But we need an ability to add comments / relational data so that inventory fields, etc, can be administered via the dashboard. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jul 30 ] |
item description is already available; template, host and proxy descriptions are coming in 2.4 from that list, hostgroups seems to be the only one missing |

Description |
Zabbix is able to have generic graph by associating a graph to a template. Ex : I would create a screen, say "displays all 'cpu load graph' of hosts linked to 'Template_custom'", and that's all. My idea behind this is to be able to have a fully automated process (discovery -> action -> link to template(s) -> generate graphs -> display graphs in a screen, so that I always have a screen "cluster server CPU load" with 1 graph per server. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Mar 04 ] |
trunk has ability to define screens in a template, and then all hosts linked to that template get that screen. |
Comment by Jens Berthold [ 2012 Feb 20 ] |
As far as I understood he wants a template screen that shows a specific graph (e.g. "cpu load") for each host of a template. The effect would be that if more and more hosts are linked to the template, the screen would fill with the 'cpu load' graph of each of the hosts. |
Comment by Maxence Dunnewind [ 2012 Feb 20 ] |
You're right Jens, the idea is not to create screen in a template, but to create a "templated" screen which automatically fills with all the graphs with name "xxx" (with some filtering on hostgroup for exemple) |
Comment by Jens Berthold [ 2012 Feb 20 ] |
I see, it doesn't make sense to connect this kind of screen to a template, as there is only one "instance". |

Description |
I already talk with many Zabbix Users in Brazil and all guys like to have a optionaly new feature:
This option will prevent "hole" in graph when have problems in monitoring. Note: is a OPTIONAL and NOT DEFAULT feature, so not will affect any user like holes in your Graphs to detect monitoring problems. In case of HOLE the graph need to use the last data value to create the graph. Example: Normally we have a HOLE between 1/1/2010 13:00 and 1/1/2010 14:00. With this new feature enabled zabbix will make: With this soluction we will no have a hole. Motivation: Currently in my enviroment we have one dashboard for each application deployed to users and this dashboard is available for END USERS. We have some graphs with informations from 3... 4 machines IN CLUSTER... so, currently, if one of this machines is down the Graph apear with HOLE and we need to explain to a LOT OF USERS "this not impact the enviroment... we have 4 machines to answer... bla bla bla" ... This is only ONE of examples... My Director use some graphs to show to MINISTER OF EDUCATION of Brasil to show disponibility of important systems and a graph with HOLES is not acceptable for him. Please, another monitoring tools already make this (like cacti) its important for me and for another users. |

Description |
current expression chooser is very limited - dropdown descriptions are cryptic, each function has many entries (<, >, =, #) - it should be improved. as a minimum, action condition-like chooser for comparison should be introduced, thus reducing choice count 3-4 times. preferably, functions get separated in categories, each also has function name itself listed and has an expandable description with examples. |
Comments |
Comment by Aigars Kadikis [ 2018 May 31 ] |
+1 vote. "functions get separated in categories" is a must. For example: by pressing [Add] button in the expression field and after selecting an item, there should be a list of radio buttons placed horizontally: avg, change, count, diff, fuzzytime, iregexp, nodata, .. After choosing the radio button, the dropdown list appears as it is in current 3.4 release. It would be nice to have radio button list which will always calculate what type of functions is supported by the item chosen. Regards, |
Comment by Harri [ 2018 Jun 02 ] |
I really like the reference manual listing all the trigger functions, but if you have to use the GUI to create a new trigger, then it is pretty difficult to find the right entry in the "Function" drop down menu, matching the documentation in the reference manual. Example: Which entry in the Function list to I have to select to get the "count" trigger function? And what does "T" mean? It would help a lot if the GUI and the reference manual could use the same terminology. A common line is missing. |

User macros are very important for the universalization of the templates. For example, I used the basic template for a variety of devices (routers and switches) through user macros, but the names of the graphs have the same value - port 1, port 2, ... instead Fastethernet or Gigabitethernet depending on the device - this is inconvenient. |

we use this mysql query : SELECT itemid, value_avg, from_unixtime(clock, "%Y-%m-%d")as Date, from_unixtime(clock, "%T")as Time this is different from bar report of zabbix, because this report gets the average trend value between working hours(i.e . 7:00 am till 7:00pm) from start date to end date so caused to every 7:00 to 19:00 values between 2010-06-05/00:00 till 2010-06-11/23:59 exactly for limiting the bar graph report maybe called "working hours bar report" |

Description |
Currently when you create a graph you have the ability to fix the Y min and Y max on a standard graph. There are circumstances where I would like to display multiple item values from related data where the range of these data are very different, for example, receive level on a wireless link (range -30 to -90) and the transmit power on the same link (range +10 to +30). If I use a the scale on a single axis the data would be very compressed and not very readable. Using the above ranges of the two datasets, I would like to be able to set a fixed data range for the left axis and a fixed data range for the right access. For example. Having these two different scales for the left and right axis on the graph would make the data much more readable. |

Please just take note that I haven't touched any of the C code, which would mean that the Zabbix API calls won't be able to alter the right axis values yet. I do hope that I've correctly modified the frontend code. I have applied it to our production Zabbix system and everything (creating graphs, modifying graphs, viewing graphs and exporting hosts) seemed OK. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 May 25 ] |
what about importing ? as for c code, api is fully in php, but on the server side this might be needed in the network discovery/active agent auto-registration code - otherwise these features would not work properly. of course, you don't have to do the c part, unless you are interested in those features |
Comment by Chris Kistner [ 2012 May 27 ] |
richlv: I haven't tried importing/exporting between patched & unpatched versions though, but since it is XML, I suppose they'll just ignore the new values and use default values. |
Comment by Marcus Oliveira [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
Hi guys. Is it going to be deployed to any version of Zabbix ? 2.0.4 maybe ? Marcus |
Comment by Volker Fröhlich [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
That needs a database schema change and can therefore only go in 2.2 or a later major release. Also notice the tag "NMR" above, refering to that. |
Comment by Marcus Oliveira [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
Thanks, Hoping for 2.2, at least. If I implement the proposed scripts, would it break anything (as far as you know, of cource) ? I don't know what NMR means... Thanks a lot. Marcus |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
"need major release" or something like that as for this feature, it's not planned currently (there's enough of other, financed features coming, though - some of them listed at https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/roadmap#Functional_roadmap ) |
Comment by Marcus Oliveira [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
Thanks a lot for the info. Marcus |
Comment by Chris Kistner [ 2012 Oct 31 ] |
Marcus: You can probably look at my code when you want to do something similar to 2.0.4 Unfortunately I won't be making a patch for 2.0.4 soon, because the change over for my company from 1.8 to 2.0 would be too much effort since I've modified our 1.8 web frontend quite a bit! |
Comment by Marcus Oliveira [ 2012 Nov 01 ] |
Thanks a lot Chris. Marcus |
Comment by Marcus Oliveira [ 2012 Nov 01 ] |
If I may, still in this subject... Maybe someone already told you that. Maybe a I have to create a new ticket. If you guys are really going to make this option available. In the graph itself, I think it would be essential to the scales inherit the data/line's colors. (Or, at least, it should have a label showing whose data is that). Marcus |

Comment by Thomas Lobker [ 2019 May 05 ] |
Another +1 here This is absolutely necessary to combine anything dynamic (like bytes of free disk space) with a percentage. If you have bytes on the left and percentage on the right, then you would want a calcaluted scale on the bytes and a fixed 0-100 range on the percentage. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2019 May 08 ] |
New dashboard graphs already provide this functionality. It will be extended to all graphs as soon as we move fully to vector graphics, most likely in 4.4. |
Comment by Yannick Hein [ 2020 Oct 08 ] |
Zabbix 5.0 user here - am I missing something or has this still not been implemented? I would also highly benefit from this feature! I'm monitoring a temperature sensor in our server room and I have temperature on the right, humidity on the left and if I set fixed values to 0-100 then you can barely tell the temperature. I'd need 18-28 for temp and 20-60 for humidity... |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2020 Oct 08 ] |
not_working_here, it has been implemented for dashboard graphs. We are still working on merging functionality of older graphs with new graph engine. |
Comment by Yannick Hein [ 2020 Oct 08 ] |
Yes, I saw that, the dashboard graphs are great but I'd like to build a screen with those graphs. And since you wrote "It will be extended to all graphs as soon as we move fully to vector graphics, most likely in 4.4." I wanted to ask whether I had simply missed an option since I'm already using 5. |

It would be very welcome to have a firefox plug-in for monitoring zabbix events. As an example, there is such a plug-in for nagios named Nagios Checker that has a great look and very good functionalities. The idea is keep in mind the most recent events from zabbix while using the browser for navigation, even if not logged in zabbix frontend. |

Comment by Murilo Moreira de Oliveira [ 2010 Feb 03 ] |
Just to complement, there is a promising plug-in created by Alberto González Rodríguez (https://forxa.mancomun.org/projects/zabbixbar/) that has some good features implemented, but very much work still have to be done in order to improve its stability and functionality. I thing that would be a good alternative if SIA Zabbix could formally support this plug-in. |

With Zabbix having the capability's it has, it amazes me how limited the reporting options are. This is a major feature request from allot of our customers + managment. The dashboard reports are not sufficient.
Being able to export the availability report and triggers top 100 would be a good beginning, or make this data available in the API. |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jan 28 ] |
what would be the difference from using items currently to launch various utilities/scripts ? what functionality would it provide ? |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2010 Jan 28 ] |
I think it should provide much grainer support to scheduling options (say, run a task once per month on first Monday) along with much better task-oriented reporting. I am not an expert, but I believe that possibility to create a list of tasks with a flexible execution path is also important (make backup, send email if failed, continue with gzipping if not). Let's not speculate on this topic and wait for someone more experienced to comment on it! |
Comment by Jason Ede [ 2010 Feb 01 ] |
You'll need a framework to communicate with the tasks and bring back relevant info. A seperate debug log on the client end is probably a must to track down any issues. If task credentials are to be supplied from the zabbix end, then they'll need to be sent in a secure format ? Personally I think it would be nice to be able to supply credentials as then only tasks that need to run priveleged run that way. For the look and feel of how it works then something like, for example, the maintenance jobs in SQL server where can just drag and drop tasks and route things depending on whether successful or failed would be nice. |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Mar 10 ] |
Wouldn't that be the task for a Job-Scheduler like this? |

Description |
I could not find a way to add triggers on a failed step. There is "Download speed", "Response time" and "Response code". But I had expected something like web.test.failed[Scenario,Step]. A macro for telling which step failed would also be appreciated like {STEP.NAME} or something. Currently I find it hard to use the "Web Monitoring" feature for availability checks. Alerting our web team with "Scenario foo failed" won't help them figure out which step went wrong and in which manner (like wrong response code or which HTML body was returned instead of the expected output). |

Comment by Volker Fröhlich [ 2013 Sep 11 ] |
Instead of yet another macro, I'd suggest to treat it like an automatic value mapping. I appended a very simple proof-of-concept patch that shows this behaviour for Latest data. Server code would have to be touched as well, to show it for ITEM.VALUE and ITEM.LASTVALUE. |
Comment by Volker Fröhlich [ 2013 Sep 11 ] |
Updated patch: The dashboard would complain about not having the type key, thus isset() first. |
Comment by James S. [ 2013 Sep 25 ] |
+1, trying to optimize the current setup for web mailers. This feature would be a definite necessity to help achieve said goals. No one wants to have an action for every web scenario (Or a convoluted action description that contains every web scenario). |

Is that correct? |
Comment by Christoph Haas [ 2023 Aug 09 ] |
@dimir Yes, that would help us. I'm thinking of {STEP.RESCODE} for the HTTP response code as well. But knowing the failed step will help a lot. Thanks for considering such a feature. |

That wouldn't help with "Latest data" though, would it? Don't know, it's been a while. |

For the Latest data it already prints the number of the step that failed. |

Yes, after checking the code getting a web scenario ID (httptestid) isn't that hard but getting step name and URL would require getting the step number first from history, which isn't that trivial. So having a JSON with all the information about processed web scenario that is suggested by vso makes much more sense. We could then finally get rid of the "special" web scenario items. |

Comment by Cliff DeCarlo [ 2020 Jul 09 ] |
This is quite the old feature request, but I too would like to see this feature. We also have developers/project leads that would like to be able to see the definition of items/triggers but not modify them. We currently have these users defined as Zabbix Admin with read-only access to hosts and they cannot see any of the item/trigger definitions. They have access to the configuration screens but nothing shows for any hosts to which they have read-only permissions. |

The following is open for discussion. I would be glad to implement this and send patches 1. Purpose ZABBIX agent usually runs as an unprivileged user, which is a good thing to do. Alas, Privilege separation for ZABBIX agent aims to provide a simple, effective and proven 2. How it works Before ZABBIX agent drops it privileges to "zabbix" user, a special process will be This process will not communicate with the network or other processes than the ZABBIX Basically, the privileged process works in the following way:
It is then the responsibility of the unprivileged ZABBIX agent to work with and close this The code running as UID 0 is kept as minimal as possible and consists only of a very few 3. The interface The communication between the unprivileged Agent and the privileged process will be The ZABBIX agent can use new API functions for file operations, e.g.: int zbx_priv_open(int priv_fd, const char *path, int mode) The new functions try to mimic the behaviour of the original functions, returning error The changes in existing agent code will be as unintrusive as possible. 4. Whitelist For security purposes, there should be a new configuration parameter which defines the This pattern could be defined, for example, with: LogfileWhitelist = /var/log/* The privileged process will then match the filename given with each request against this Maybe a blacklist (LogfileBlacklist) configuration option would be a complimentary option, We could:
This would be the most simplistic approach, maybe not as good as a check with realpath(). 5. Extendibility The privsep protocol can easily be extended to provide more privileged functions to the For example, it could be used for data collection that requires root privileges (e.g. some 6. Compatibility The code has been tested on Linux and BSD (Open-, Net- and FreeBSD). It will not work on Alas, I have no access to "big-iron" UNIX-derivates such as HP-UX, AIX or Solaris that 7. Making it optional 7.1 At compile-time A new option to configure should be introduced, namely --enable-privsep. When not specified, 7.2 At run-time Similar to OpenSSH's sshd, a new configuration item "UsePrivilegeSeperation" should be 8. Open issues 8.1 logrt[] items It will not be possible to use this with items of type logrt[] due to the use of opendir(3). 8.2 Testing As written above, I only have limited access to more "exotic" platforms (from the OSS point Looking forward to any input and constructive criticism. |

Comment by J. Fischer [ 2010 Jan 21 ] |
I have worked out a prototype for the implementation of privilege separation in ZABBIX agent. The patch for it is attached. To try it out:
The patch introduces three new options for zabbix_agentd.conf: PrivEnable=(0|1) - Runtime configuration of privilege separation functionality (Default: 1) PrivEnforce=(0|1) - Whether to enforce that any call to zbx_priv_open() will be performed via the privileged process. If set to 0, the agent will check whether the user "zabbix" has read permissions to a given file, and if it has, use default zbx_open() on that file. If set to 1, any call to zbx_priv_open() will be send through the privileged process and all whitelist constrainsts (see below) will apply. The default is 0. PrivWhitelist=<list of patterns> - Patterns to paths that the privileged process is allowed to open. Multiple patterns can be given and are separated using comma. Pattern matching will NOT be performed recursively. That is, a pattern "/var/log/*" would allow access for "/var/log/messages" but not "/var/log/audit/audit.log". This is to prevent path escape through using "/var/log/../../etc/shadow" or similar. The default is no pattern, which disallows access to any file. Open issues:
Things to note:

Comment by J. Fischer [ 2010 Apr 29 ] |
Attached is an updated patch which will apply cleanly to 1.8.2 version of ZABBIX agent. Also, support for HP-UX has been added. Might also compile on other commercial and/or older UNIX systems now. |

as noted in http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=63528#post63528, supporting command execution with privsep would also be beneficial |

I find this very annoying and time-consuming: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10701&highlight=duplicate+triggers Importing a huge template with a lot of hosts creates duplicate triggers. This happens when only the expression of the trigger was changed and the template is reimported. As I understand from the thread the default behaviour in 1.4 was to update the trigger expression in the existing trigger. In 1.6 this was changed and the old trigger is not affected, instead a new trigger with the same name is created. Either I have to delete all old triggers then or completely delete all template linkages and link all hosts to the new templates afterwards. This takes a lot of time... Is it possible to create a switch/an option where this behaviour can be configured to the 1.4 behaviour? Thanks. |

Hi, I was sondering if we could add macro in the notification body (email body in my case) to get the URL of the graph (of last values) when a trigger is actioned. This would reduce the time to go inspect the values and evolution (open browser, load web page, login, go to monitoring, latest data, host, item...). If there was the URL To the graph, I would just click on it and the browser would load nicely the useful stuff (Note: I don't know what would happen if the login expired or I haven't logged yet, if after the login, I would be redirected to the welcome page or to the graph)....

Comment by Alexey Korepov [ 2017 Feb 17 ] |
Seems that {EVENT.ID} already works normally on Zabbix 3.2, so we can generate direct links to item history in action text, here is example: Item history: http://zabbix.example.com/history.php?action=showvalues&itemids[]={ITEM.ID1} Graph direct image: <img src="http://zabbix.example.com/chart.php?itemids[]= {ITEM.ID1}" /> |
Comment by Nikolay Polyagoshko [ 2021 Oct 06 ] |
Hey, there Any updates on this? It will be super useful if {ITEM.ID} could be used in Trigger URLs, for including hyperlink to item’s graph in notifications. Probably adding support for {ITEM.ID} should not be very complex. Right now Zabbix already have support for {ITEM.VALUE} and {ITEM.LASTVALUE} in Trigger URLs. And if zabbix have access to some item's value in the TriggerURL context, it should also know that value's ID, right? |

Comment by Phil Smith [ 2014 Jun 26 ] |
This limitation kills the JMX use case for hadoop clusters, which typically have many jvms per node. |
Comment by Phil Smith [ 2014 Jun 26 ] |
While we're thinking about JMX on multiple interfaces, it is typical for one set of keys to be common to all JVMs (heap size, etc), while others are application-specific counters that exist only in some interfaces. Hopefully a solution will include an answer for how to either select which interfaces to query, or a way to gracefully ignore when the keys are absent. Finally, the killer feature for the hadoop use case would be the ability to define such an item within a template. I have dozens of mapreduce nodes that all run jvms.. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Jun 26 ] |
phs, the assigning could be easily done with ZBXNEXT-735#comment-83047. Templates Items in template 'Common JVM' have no host interface alias/hint/label set. Host Since uniqueness criteria takes host interface or host interface alias into account, one may link both application specific templates into the same host. |

While performing discovery for a network there is found a blocking limitation. Scanning for a subnet is not efficient when scanning for a network-range such as IP.IP.IP-IP.IP ( 10.10.1-255.1 ), in this example it is used to scan for gateways supporting snmp, ssh, http, https and responding to icmp. If this matches there is a router or switch present and it should be monitored. This can easily be done using nmap but the input type is not supported in zabbix which only permits IP.IP.IP.IP-IP not a variation on this. If using nmap from zabbix is permitted in such way this has not been documented. I could not find a page that documented how to make a script for this with nmap. Especially since the input type validates against IP.IP.IP.IP-IP |

Two issues linked as duplicates as a proof. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Jan 02 ] |
Why this is happening with users. A lot of PHP-based "frontends" suppose only one action performed manually by a user - DB creation and granting all required permission to the created DB. Then on first attempt to open the frontend its php scripts create DB's tables and fill some data (if required). This is not the case regarding to zabbix frontend, so we could be more friendly to such user mistakes and provide more precise errors during PHP frontend setup. Yes, we have required steps to install zabbix described in documentation, but time to time we see that users do not read documentation |

ZBX-6376 is very related (they should be fixed together) |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Nov 14 ] |
Interesting note for 2.2.0 release: If we have created database but schema is not filled then the "setup.php" on the 3rd step returns message: The frontend does not match Zabbix database. If we point config file "zabbix.conf.php" to that empty database and open "setup.php" then frontend returns message: Configuration file error: The frontend does not match Zabbix database. And finally index.php returns: Database error: The frontend does not match Zabbix database. Such cases could be more user friendly. |

It would be nice to check and automatically populate it if DB has no schema at all. |

Description |
Hi, I'd like to create multiple discovery rules to monitor my router, because my iftable holds multiple types of interfaces and not for all interfaces values are available. E.g physical interface counters are not available on logical interfaces. To accomplish this I've create two separate discovery rules both with a specific regex to match only the applicable interfaces. To do this I've created necessary items, triggers and graphs for one discovery rule and I need to have a subset of these for another discovery rule and currently the only way to do this is by hand. |

Description |
Hi, If a host has multiple triggers configured that are related to each other there might be cases where you get alerts for all of these triggers, resulting in a large number of alerts. A practical example would be a router with 30+ cpu's. There might be an issue that causes cpu load on one of them and you want to be alerted about that event. However, another issue might cause high cpu load on all of the cpu's and you don't want to receive alerts on all 30. Thus dependencies are impossible in this situation. |

Zabbix agent can be compiled under Open Indiana without any problems (you need just install gcc compiler). SunOS openindiana 5.11 oi_151a2 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

For some types of triggers, a recovery message isn't really useful. (E.g. a notification that /etc/passwd had changed doesn't need a subsequent OK message telling me that the file has not changed in the next interval.) Unfortunately I didn't find a way to specify that the recovery messages should be omitted for this kind of triggers. An option that allows to specify at trigger config level, if a recovery message is needed would be useful. Thanks, |

Hi Alexander! |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2010 Feb 16 ] |
I am talking about setting a property in the trigger configuration, not in the actions config. I know that there is an option to disable the recovery message in the actions configuration but I don't want to do that generally for all events. Example: We have more than 1000 triggers. Most of them need a recovery message. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to exclude those messages in an action-filter and define a separate action for them. So I am thinking of two options:
But if you really want to see one of our action screens, take this one: |

Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2010 Nov 16 ] |
Do you already have a roadmap when this feature will be included? |
Comment by Igor Danoshaites (Inactive) [ 2010 Nov 16 ] |
Hi Alexander, We will discuss this tomorrow internally and after that I will let you know. |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2010 Nov 16 ] |
Alexander, Currently the feature is not in our roadmap for Zabbix 2.0. I would like to understand your idea better before making any decisions. My understanding is that only triggers having "multiple true event generation" option set (like log file monitoring, check sums, etc) should not generate recovery messages. Is it correct? Could you provide us with other examples where "normal" triggers may also benefit? Thank you. Alexei |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2010 Nov 17 ] |
Looking at the "Template_Linux" checks shipped with Zabbix, I can only find use cases where the "multiple problem event generation" would also make sense: <filename> has been changed on SERVER {HOSTNAME} has just been restarted Host information was changed on {HOSTNAME} Version of zabbix_agent(d) was changed on {HOSTNAME}Besides, log file items also don't have a recovery event, so sending a recovery notification isn't useful too. (But even for triggers based on this type of items, "multiple problem event generation" should be set. So currently I can't give you an example of triggers that shouldn't have "multiple true event generation" set but should send recovery notifications and vice versa. But both topics are quite different:
So I think it could be quite confusing if you'd combine both in on option, even though it whould currently solve my problem. Cheers, |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2010 Nov 17 ] |
Leo, I understand that the topics are quite different, however I believe that the new feature will only (or at least in most of the cases) affect triggers that should be defined to generate multiple true event. To some extent, one flag for actions would make another (on trigger level) irrelevant. I well understand you idea, but I feel that it may add more confusion than benefits. It would be great to keep number of available options to a bare minimum at trigger level for easier maintenance and clarity. I would leave it as it is for now. What do you think? Alexei |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2010 Nov 17 ] |
Does "leave it as it is for now" mean that your plan is to implement the suggested feature and enable it if the "multiple problem event generation" is set, because you don't like the idea of adding a new trigger option? But we would really appreciate having any kind of option to suppress the unnecessary and annoying "OK" (recovery) notifications on those trigger events described above. Thanks, |
Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2010 Nov 17 ] |
Leo, I wouldn't include it as it is into our roadmap. Yes, I do not like the idea of the new trigger option because everything it does can be already achieved by setting "multiple problem events". I do not see real-life cases when it cannot. So it looks like duplicating existing functionality to me. Actually the "multiple problem events" won't solve this issue 100%, because it would still generate recovery messages on PROBLEM->OK state transition. Hmm, not good... Another reason is that I am not quite happy about controlling how to react to problems (send or ignore recovery messages) on trigger level. This may introduce high degree of confusion: one would spend hours looking at action configuration and figuring out why recovery message is not sent. To put all this differently, I do not see a nice and clean solution for this problem unfortunately. Alexei |

> Yes, I do not like the idea of the new trigger option because Maybe there is some kind of misunderstanding? > Another reason is that I am not quite happy about controlling how to If that's a problem, then you could add a way to specify conditional filters for recovery messages in the action configuration. But let's go back to the base of the problem... Do you think that receiving an SMS like So I think there should be a way to handle events that are caused by that kind of triggers differently. (I.e. without recovery messages.) |

Comment by Igor Danoshaites (Inactive) [ 2010 Dec 14 ] |
I did also have an issue about alarming, especially with recovery messages: ZBXNEXT-582: specify in trigger configuration if a recovery message is needed I’m also voting for this, this is also an issue for us. An idea for a solution would be to have an additional freetext-field in the trigger, which can be used in the action to filter for it (as its already possible for trigger value, trigger description, …). This would allow actions to be fired only on specific cases (like all triggers which have “MAIL” in this field shall only be handled by an mail action ,…). |

Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2014 Apr 07 ] |
Any chance for getting this implemented? |
Comment by Corey Shaw [ 2014 Apr 07 ] |
Maybe another option would be to allow actions to have configured "exclude" options. Heck, or you could add the ability to give "tags" to triggers and then do an action based on that tag. That way it would be super easy to have tags called "with-recovery" or "without-recovery" on arbitrary actions. This could even allow for far easier management of multiple actions as well. |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2014 Apr 07 ] |
Yes, tags could be an option. |
Comment by Volker Fröhlich [ 2015 Jun 03 ] |
While I'm perfectly aware that this is not a forum, I think the longevity deserves this issues a comment: I used a unified pre-processing script for all outgoing messages, that cancelled sending messages that follow a specific pattern. My convention was to simply prefix such triggers with "[Info]". While it doesn't touch the root problem and probably only works with alert scripts, it served me well over the years. The fact that action conditions became a lot more flexible in 2.4, and the improvements regarding "Applications" and templating probably make it viable to have two separate actions (one with and one without recovery message) and just an action condition that cares about a certain "Application" string. That would be item-based though, since "Application" is not an actual trigger property. |
Comment by dimir [ 2015 Jun 09 ] |
As a nice and clean solution I currently only see adding support for trigger types, e. g.
Although it definitely adds certain complexity to the internal implementation. On the other hand, as alexei mentioned, the fact that you don't always mention triggers in an action, the visibility problem would still exist. |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2015 Jun 10 ] |
I agree that the cleanest solution would be adding "one shot triggers". The use cases of this trigger (e.g. host had just rebooted, file checksum changed, sector had been reallocated, etc.) type simply don't match the concept of two states (PROBLEM and OK). Instead it is only a one time event, there is no PROBLEM phase and no transition from PROBLEM to OK following that phase. That's why suppressing the recovery event and the following recovery action is really only a workaround and thus a hacky solution. But unfortunately I don't see any tendency towards such a solution. So I guess we'll have to live with a workaround. Since the trigger condition defines whether the trigger is one shot or not, there should be a way to mark that property at trigger level. (And not e.g. at item level like via setting an application as suggested above.) This could be done by adding trigger tags or an option to filter actions by {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION} as suggested several times. (e.g. in comment-106296). |
Comment by Roeland Jansen [ 2016 Jun 16 ] |
Is there any news on this? Alexander Bergolth reaction is exactly how I see it as well. |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2016 Aug 10 ] |
Will Zabbix 3.2 provide a solution for this? However, the manual also states: None - in this case the trigger will never return to an OK state. Maybe there is a way to suppress OK notifications using the new event tags and an action condition like Tag <> NORECOVERYNOTIFICATION? |
Comment by dimir [ 2016 Aug 10 ] |
AFAIK in case of None the trigger is to be reset using acknowledgement: |
Comment by Roeland Jansen [ 2016 Aug 10 ] |
and I believe that is not what you would want. You get the mail/message/whatever – password file has changed. It's just information, not a state. Therefore there is no OK message (needed) and also no interaction required (clicking OK). |
Comment by Sergey Urushkin [ 2016 Oct 04 ] |
With 3.2 it's possible to create 2 actions with tag condition (with/without special tag). But I think it would be more convenient if we could simply add a tag condition to action's "Recovery operations", and add such default tag to suitable template's triggers out of the box. That would completely solve the problem without introducing the new event type. While the new event type will be clearer for users, I guess it requires more code changes than "Recovery operations" condition. And it's the question - what will be better if we talk about performance. |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2017 Nov 15 ] |
Now zabbix 3.2 already provides the requirements for implementing this feature (trigger tags or "Trigger OK event generation: None"). It is really frustrating that this 7 year old issue, which is still very valid for me and apparently many others, is obviously not considered for implementation. Maybe it is time to open a new, more specific issue in order to revive that topic again? Maybe an issue like: "add a tag condition filter to Actions / Operations and Actions / Recovery operations" ? |
Comment by Alexander Bergolth [ 2017 Nov 21 ] |
I've created a new feature request about implementing conditional filtering by tags for recovery operations: ZBXNEXT-4246 |
Comment by João Andrade [ 2019 May 29 ] |
May i ask how have you been working around this limitation, if there is a way? I tried looking at trigger functions, tags and event correlation, but cant figure out a way to do it. This is something that bugged me since i started using zabbix many years ago, but now in my current infra, these information "problems" are a problem. |

Comment by Noah Leaman [ 2014 Jun 07 ] |
Just so I'm clear, in 2.2, an internal event will now be created allowing you to be notified an item changed state from supported to unsupported, and any calc items that are using that value will become unsupported just like they do in previous versions? (and I assume that calc item will also create an internal event when changing to unsupported) If a calc item is averaging 10 item values among 10 different hosts, and one of those items becomes unsupported, the calc will become unsupported correct? If this is so, then there is no change in the way calc items behave. If this is the case, I think the feature request here should more specific to providing a way for calc items to behave differently based on user preference when encountering unsupported values: An option in the calc item form that directs how the calc item should behave when encountering a unsupported value. Some option examples: A) ignore any unsupported values and continue to calculate; Am I right that the way it will behave in 2.2 is only option C? |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jun 07 ] |
yes, only c is available and more specific approach could be helpful |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2015 Feb 27 ] |
We constantly have problems with this when we apply templates to hosts which have calculated items, since if the calculated item is executed before the items from which it calculates data it becomes not supported, because there is no data from which to calculate. In this case we get an email notification that an item become not supported and after the "source" items fetch data, we get another notification that it become supported. Now multiply that by the number of calculated items and hosts, and you get a spam fest from Zabbix. It would really be nice to have some control over this as Noah described in option B). Also it would probably be a good idea to updated this issue description to include option B), since it gives you more control compared to what the issue reporter suggested. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Nov 09 ] |
Perl has "logical defined-or" operator // which is concise, yet explicit way of working around undefined values in expressions (option B). Option A is complete BS from mathematical point of view. |

Description |
I believe it is essencial that the Zabbix server provides an option to poll different items at the same time, especially after calculated items were implemented. In most cases, the items used in a calculated item must be fetched at the same time, or else the calculated value will not be valid. For instance, a hypothetical calculated item that shows the cpu usage by adding the system and user utilizations will be meaningless unless those two items are polled at the same time. Another example that doesn't involve calculated items would be a trigger "A" that should only be true if a trigger "B" is false. In this case, if the items used in trigger "B" are not fetched at the same time as the items in trigger "A", trigger "A" could be active because trigger "B" hasn't had its items updated yet, even though trigger "B" will also evaluate to true after its items are updated. In the GUI, Affinity Groups could be created and displayed similar to the existing Group option. |

I fully support this request. I will focus on the second aspect - I have not investigated in detail, but it seems i have noticed that a sequence of items polling depends on their ID. Some forum discussion (in Russian): http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=100140 |

Comment by Sander Cornelissen [ 2013 Aug 09 ] |
I do miss this feature when making a graph of two items. One is the processor idle time and the other is processor active time. I have set them up in a stacked graph. When there is processor activity, the total won't be 100%, but is has gaps and peaks. It has nothing to do with triggers, only that items get retrieved at different times. When will there be a fix or is a fix in sight? |

This is such an important feature which would make a lot of things easier and faster. |
Comment by Gergely Czuczy [ 2013 Dec 13 ] |
This feature would be pretty much awesome. Also, if this would do something like, pulling a swithport's items (all of them) together, that'd also save some resources when evaluating triggers, since the triggers using multiple items for a single port wouldn't have to be evaluated after every item's poll, just once, after an aggregated poll. |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Dec 13 ] |
this probably wouldn't help that much with triggers, as the trigger parsing logic wouldn't differ much. |

Comment by richlv [ 2016 Mar 06 ] |
maybe a practical example helps - the cpu utilisation items, if queried at the same time, should sum up to 100%. with zabbix item polling distributed, it most often does not, and the top of the graph tends to have spikes over & dips under 100% - sometimes fairly large spikes & dips. |

Plain texts elements -> Simple elements to show some custom information, like a note. |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Apr 06 ] |
ahh, so basically text labels w/o icon ? maybe could be semi-emulated by adding a 1x1 px image ? second one would be a subset of the first simply by supporting macros just like all labels |
Comment by Murilo Moreira de Oliveira [ 2010 Apr 06 ] |
Yes, the first one could be implemented by this "method". |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Apr 06 ] |
"I meant that it would be interesting to show data collected from hosts (items like CPU usage, bandwidth, network in etc.) in simple labels on maps. Today is possible to do this only with connectors labels on maps." data collected is referenced by a macro - and no, it's not true that you can display it on connectors only - you can use macros in map element labels as well |
Comment by Murilo Moreira de Oliveira [ 2010 Apr 06 ] |
First of all, to guarantee we are using the same abstraction, for me "data collected" is equal to "values from host items". I'm sorry my English. |

Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Jan 05 ] |
having some magic macro value meaning would be a very bad approach - confusing, hidden and what to do if an item has multiple macros, but only one of them has this magic value ? maybe you can try to describe the functional need - for example, why can't you disable those items on the host level instead ? that seems to be even easier than modifying/adding macro values |

We would find this useful as well. We're beginning to use the "MPM" worker model (threads) with some versions of Apache httpd, so it's no longer easy to monitor a count of the number of httpds. |
Comment by Paul DiSciascio [ 2017 Mar 20 ] |
We have an issue where we're running up against the nproc ulimit on a production server, and since nproc is based on thread count, rather than simply process count, being able to trend and alert when we're close to that number is important. |

I believe this could be useful. I created a item widget which I use to monitor some DNS servers. I created for those itens some mapped values. I would like to configure my item widget to be visual, something like a simple KPI index. The best I could do was to show Up (1). I would love to show only "Up", which is the mapped value for this item. I could use a macro {$ITEM.MAPPEDVALUE} as a description in my case.

thanks to asaveljevs for mentioning the main reason why this is not so simple - log items are stored in a separate table that allows to store log local time, severity and source. choosing a different type of information leads to a loss of that data. such a low level thing seems to be a bit too much to force on users - they should not care about where and how exactly the data is stored. it would be nice if zabbix could figure out that such items have extra log information and probably store it in some helper table. leaving this issue open for a potential removal of the "Log" type of information |

In that case I'll close mine, since this issue predates it — Currently, It is possible to change the format (line type, colour) of a link using trigger statuses however, this will greatly increase the number of triggers in Zabbix for the sole pupose of making pretty maps. 0% - Black I would like to be able to define these mapping globally, just like value mappings so we can reuse them easily in other maps or on other links in the same map. |

We totally support this idea as we have dozens of server groups, dozens of customer groups, internal teams, escalation levels, etc. and often find a slide show won't even show up due to a server that was added in setup mode (group .setup) - very painful to find what's going on in 20 screens of 20 graphs and maps across hundreds of servers. Mix items on a single graph using templates, etc. and it's nearly impossible. Best option on this is to let me specify a user and then the object like a slideshow, screen, etc. and show me which object I can/can't see. Let me see i I can work up some SQL to determine this for now. |

Facility for Zabbix support Netflow data monitoring. |
Comments |
Comment by alex dekker [ 2009 Jul 27 ] |
What particular aspects of Netflow would you like to see supported in Zabbix? There is already a great Netflow collector in the form of ntop, so perhaps an ntop integration module for Zabbix would be a better idea? |
Comment by Mauricio Okumura [ 2009 Jul 28 ] |
I think a integration module with ntop would be excellent, but and the integration of the events as would be? |
Comment by alex dekker [ 2009 Aug 28 ] |
That's what I'm asking you. What Netflow parameters would you like to monitor? Per-interface? Per-host? Down to individual source:port dest:port level? |
Comment by Mauricio Okumura [ 2009 Sep 03 ] |
Sorry, i like to monitor Netflow estatistics per host and per interface, and analize protocols like ntop. |
Comment by Elvar [ 2010 Aug 12 ] |
I have a huge need for this as well. |
Comment by Bee [ 2010 Oct 29 ] |
Me also, i would like to see netflow support on next ZABBIX major release. |
Comment by Mitchel van Ballegooij [ 2012 Jun 13 ] |
We also have a huge need for Netflow. |
Comment by Jarrod Manzer [ 2012 Jul 23 ] |
Some thoughts from an enterprise network monitoring/automation professional who deployed commercial netflow systems. A Netflow collector will need to scale better than OSS NTOP does. With the enterprise network we have to maintain, we find that NTOP crashes under just about any netflow feed we give it. Typical netflow feeds are about 50k flows per second (and that's sampled) and we actual send small fractions of this feed and we still get crashes. We simply cannot use NTOP for large scenarios so Zabbix should consider how their SNMP poller/distributed system architecture will scale compared to NTOP. I think you need your own flow listener and it should be distributed as well. Additionally one must consider the netflow version to be supported. v5 is very common in production networks these days but v9 and IPFIX are showing up more often. Jflow, Sflow and other flow implementations should also be considered for support. Perhaps zabbix.com should have a survey for network device platforms so the range of protocols to support are understood. Such information could be used by the zabbix folks for template creation as well. As for what we should be monitoring here are some suggestions. 1.) Graph all flows for a given interface and compare the SNMP stats for the same to find out if flows are missing (calibration). These are probably the biggest payoffs for a netflow system so use cases should include the above in my opinion. |
Comment by Pedro Crespo [ 2012 Aug 10 ] |
Could we monitoring a jflow (Juniper) with Zabbix?, How can do it?, there is an add-on to this funtionality? Thanks |
Comment by Leandro Silva [ 2015 Jun 11 ] |
I have need for this too, I am looking for an application to do this, it would be great if zabbix had this feature native. We need to see the consumption of interfaces per protocol, per ip destinations, per ip origin, per ports and alerts of custom thresholds too. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Jun 11 ] |
Implementing Netflow is probably not just about adding yet another item to monitor. However, even when not being that familiar with *flow, I can see a big benefit for the "network monitoring" domain and hope enough people will find together to (co-)sponsor this. |
Comment by Anthony Haley [ 2020 Sep 09 ] |
There is a large need for this feature today. nprobe now requires a per system license to use. I use Zabbix for monitoring everything in our environment. The ability to collect and display sFlow data is the only thing I have not been able to get Zabbix to do. A feature set similar to ntop-ng community with a built-in collector would be a perfect starting point. |
Comment by Omila Ihalage [ 2021 Mar 03 ] |
This is a very important peace still missing with Zabbix. |
Comment by Jovan Klajic [ 2021 Nov 25 ] |
Not sure if this is mentioned earlier. It would be good to have an option to use zabbix agent to export NetFlow directly from a server that is subject of monitoring. Ideally to be able also to turn it on on-demand when some really detailed troubleshooting is needed. |

Some kind of repository of templates would be good. The user should be able to browse the repo and install templates onto their server without downloading the template to their PC then uploading it. It should be possible to view a template or edit it through the UI before installing it. Some thought would need to be given to security, as there is potential for mischief/havoc with malicious or badly designed templates. This may mean templates being reviewed before being allowed into the repo. |

Comment by Ya Bo [ 2016 Jan 06 ] |
Hi everybody, Maybe adding an additional DebugLevel value will help to resolve this request. Currently 3x version has 5 levels: critical, error, warn, debug, ext-debug I propose to add yet one, so it will be: any installation does not require any changes in config. But anybody who need this functionality should change DebugLevel only. |
Comment by Ya Bo [ 2016 Jan 06 ] |
Additional level will be more convenient. of course, this level can be used not only for failed items. |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Apr 16 ] |
the best would probably be returning the list of host/item/value (and maybe also time, if supplied ?) entries that failed - although one concern would be very large values why all of that - let's say if one is sending 200 timestamped values for the same item on the same host and 30 fail - how would the sender know which ones failed to either fix some issue or retry ? |
Comment by Joachim Jautz [ 2020 Mar 06 ] |
MotivationAllow me to motivate why the requested feature would be most valuable in some situations. We run zabbix_sender 4.2 as part of a process pipeline, that is, it runs continuously, receives item metrics on STDIN and there is a considerable throughput: zabbix_sender -z zabbix.example.com -p 10051 -r -i - The "real-time" (-r) switch requests to "Send values one by one as soon as they are received ... when reading from standard input." That said, this is a typical summary output we witness: Response from zabbix.example.com: "processed: 249; failed: 1; ... Currently there is no way to have zabbix_sender reveal this one failed item. PetitionIt would be great to hear an opinion from one of the Zabbix developers / contributors regarding these questions:
Thank you in advance. |

Description |
Similar to how hosts have templates, it would be very valuable to have Map templates that provide a skeleton. This would be useful in many cases. For example, diagramming large, physically complex networks with many VLANs. Presently, a viewer friendly method of doing this would be to diagram the network, with all of its base components, trunks, etc, and then add the specific VLAN information on top of that diagram. However, using this method, each map is a standalone object. If a change is made to the physical network, that change has to be manually documented in every map - which could number in the hundreds. Having a template system would allow the physical network to reside on a single map, and for other maps to be built using this template as a base. Objects can be added to the secondary map, and template objects can be disabled on a per map basis, in the same way that items can be added to a host separately from its template. |

Just follow standard NET-SNMP documentation in order to import new MIBs. It is extremely straight-forward procedure. Alexei |
Comment by Brian Talley [ 2010 Jan 20 ] |
I believe the OP was asking for a way to import a MIB into Zabbix and have Zabbix create a Host Template with all the Items created as defined in the vendor MIB (or allow the user to pick and choose before the template is generated). This would be preferable to building the Host Template by hand in an environment where a lot of different devices are used. I can't see where importing the MIB file into NET-SNMP really has any effect on Zabbix other than being able to use the MIB OID object name rather than the numeric OID. |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jan 28 ] |
then this is a feature request (somehow i can't find an existing one...) for template builder from snmp mib. until then, http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/scripts/gentemplate.pl seems to be the most functional script to generate templates for snmp devices in an automated fashion. |
Comment by Stefan Radman [ 2016 Mar 05 ] |
The link http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/scripts/gentemplate.pl is broken. |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Mar 06 ] |
yes, it pointed to the old wiki which was in a phase-out state for a long time - if the script was not migrated to zabbix.org, it was probably too outdated and not too useful at that time |
Comment by Dimitri Bellini [ 2018 Aug 01 ] |
For who are interested on a possible alternative to the old tool to convert MIB file, i would suggest https://github.com/cavaliercoder/mib2zabbix . I think is very great tool! I also suggest to Zabbix to think about to something similar directly integrated on the main interface |

by now there is no comfortable way to determine if a directory contains a mounted filesystem. vfs.fs.size reports the size root filesystem if pointed to a directory which is normally mounted. another way is to check if a file underneath the mounted directory exists - but this is not "templateable" if there is no "common" file on the mounted fs. on linux it should check /proc/mounts, solaris /etc/mnttab, etc. |

Description |
MIB files contain the meaning of the given values of SNMP OIDs, practically telling you how should you interpret those values. Zabbix should be able to handle these values, know their meaning. It could either be done directly from the MIB files, or by telling them within templates. From templates, extending the XML scheme would be simple, like: |
Comments |
Comment by alex dekker [ 2009 Aug 28 ] |
Zabbix could also interpret MIBs where possible to eliminate the need for Throw Maps. This would avoid needing to manually duplicate in Zabbix the data already extant in many MIBs. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Apr 11 ] |
this probably could be part on snmpwalk/mibbrowser feature, where it would look up the associations, create or reuse existing value maps and link them to items |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 May 23 ] |
Even when value mapping is the current way to solve lack of SNMP value translation, I'd prefer a different approach. Edit: |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 May 23 ] |
note that we quite explicitly support snmptt, it's even documented how to set it up with zabbix |
Comment by Yamada Hiroyuki [ 2016 Nov 21 ] |
This function would be really useful to start device monitoring quickly. Symbol translation is one of the important features of monitoring tool. But translating text symbols to Value Mapping is very complicated and time-consuming work. So I've created translation script from MIB to Zabbix Value map. But still, though Zabbix 3.0 supports Value map import/export feature, I think Zabbix should directly support MIB translation. I hope the translation should be supported by Zabbix WebUI and API. Translated text data should not be preserved into database. |

For me it is working if it is working for you I don't know. It creates a few files and alters the include/page_header.php file. As Zabbix is OSS I'm publishing my patch under the same license agreement. Please let me know what you think about it. Zabbix is a great product but is lacking some minor functions sometimes, like IT services overview per month. Maybe something for the developers to include in a next release. It was not that much of a work and I saw requests for this functionality a few times on the boards. |

Is there any workaround for this in newer versions of Zabbix? We have a lot of services set up, and aren't always able to look at the uptime data on the appropriate day, so being able to pick a date-range would be very helpful. |

Description |
there could be a feature to skip already existing hosts (both manually added and added by discovery) when performing actions. not sure about implementation details, maybe this could be added as an action condition (but it would have to be intuitive enough - for example, adding condition like that and having an action to delete the host would not make much sens). |
Comments |
Comment by Robert Middleswarth [ 2011 Feb 01 ] |
On the action side it could be as simple as adding a condition already exists. Although I think it would be better to add an option to the discovery rule to ignore existing hosts so it doesn't even scan IP of hosts that exist. Thanks |
Comment by Andy Shinn [ 2011 Feb 17 ] |
I use the discovery for alerting of new hosts that might not be added already so that I can manually evaluate if they should be added. This would be nice so I am not getting the same alerts for hosts I have already added. |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Nov 22 ] |
ZBXNEXT-818 asks for almost opposite, so they both could be implemented by supporting a clause "IS" and "IS NOT" at discovery rule level or at operation condition level. I'd prefer discovery rule level for this feature. |
Comment by Harri [ 2014 Mar 29 ] |
I would prefer to have the known hosts filtered on discovery level, too. My scenario is: I've got different templates for server systems, e.g. to distinguish between Linux containers, KVM hosts and real hosts. Zabbix cannot detect the difference, so the list of automatically assigned templates has to be adjusted sometimes. Its pretty painful, if the Zabbix server breaks this on the next discovery. When I started with Zabbix it was pretty confusing for me to see all the known hosts reappear in the discovery audit again and again. It is surely not what you expect: "to discover" means to find something new. Having the ability to ignore the hosts listed in the "Discovered Hosts" group would help to avoid this confusion. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Mar 29 ] |
try using action condition "discovered", not "up" |
Comment by Harri [ 2014 Apr 01 ] |
Sorry to say, but "discovered" didn't work at all. For testing I replaced "status = up" with "status = discovered" in the actions and deleted a host. By now it didn't come back. I see the other IP addresses in this net in the audit, but not the deleted host. As written before, I would prefer a discovery rule, anyway. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Apr 01 ] |
that's because host is already considered to be discovered (dhost/dservice tables) :/ |
Comment by Harri [ 2014 Apr 01 ] |
Obviously looking at status = discovered is a bad choice. Zabbix cannot detect a reused IPv4 address . I would like to have more control about which hosts are discovered. Looping over all IP addresses in a subnet and checking if there is a zabbix agent running is not sufficient. Maybe some kind of callback function could be supported? This would allow me to implement more flexible discovery rules in a shell script. |
Comment by Filipe Paternot [ 2015 Mar 25 ] |
Well, not necessarily you may want to not rediscover a already monitored host. If things change (and they usually do), you may want to reflect it. I know i do, and it's working good. When you discover a host is a linux, for instance. It is a discovered host, added, enabled and with linux template. But still there may be other checks and rules to match. What hardware it runs on, if it has a webserver... If your rules are dynamic enough (and they should be), it is required to "rediscover" everything. Besides, things change over time. However, sometimes you do not want it. |
Comment by Harri [ 2015 Apr 23 ] |
I completely agree. Surely things change. The IP address of a service might change or move from one host to another, as in your example. Point is, these changes are not covered by Zabbix at all. Even if the dynamic rules discover the service under a new IP address, Zabbix looses history and gets confused about the old IP address, as soon as it reappears with other services. Looking at IPv4 there is a pretty high probability for this to happen. Now, we know Zabbix cannot handle reused IP addresses. Further we know that IP addresses (and host names) are insufficient to reliably identify a service to watch. Yet Zabbix continues to loop over all IPv4 addresses, using discovery rules and actions to overwrite host entries in the database, ignoring a manual configuration. That appears strange to me. |
Comment by Angutivik Casper Rúnur Tausen Hansen [ 2018 Dec 12 ] |
Having this as a discovery rule would be nice. As an example, I could use office at where I work. We have servers and computers on the same network, which is our playground before we release anything into the real world. Zabbix discovers both servers, computers, even phones, and we saw that as an opportunity to check for unknown hosts, but unfortunately, Zabbix doesn't give the functionality to check whether a host is known or not. If this chooses to be a thing, one could check whether a host existed in a host group or not, and if not, alert the administrators. If host doesn't exist in host group, then alert administrators |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Sep 14 ] |
hmm... i'd argue that it doesn't make sense to introduce a different page. this partially duplicates 'status of zabbix'. so if we are doing this, it would make sense to do it properly. current separate page has the issue of.. being separate, as well as completely visually different from anything else (and i've got enough complaints about user interface inconsistencies and usability sucking in the last few weeks to last for several years...) so what we should do... unify config wizard requirements page, "status of zabbix" and this info page in a single page.
and what's important - it all should be visually and functionally consistent. current visual representation leaves a very bad impression. |

I got an idea of how you can do version, revision and server futures checking, and I decided to tell about it. It would be nice to resolve this request at the same time |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Sep 15 ] |
yes, server inserting some runtime info in the db was exactly the idea in ZBXNEXT-57 but it would help to save a lot of time by deciding on a consistent implementation. cleaning it up later can turn out to be near impossible, as we have seen way too many times on other areas. |

It would be great if we could select which triggers can change the status of hosts on maps. This would be very handy for creating maps for different people. The server techs could have a map with servers and host status would only change when triggers concerning them(disk space for instance) would go off while developers could have other maps with possibly the same servers but their status would only change when triggers concerning their applications(database components for instance) go off. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Aug 25 ] |
this would be extremely convoluted - it would have to be specified per map, per element, per user. maybe better something like a runtime map filter, based on applications... might still cause problems - for example, some application might depend on database running, so its triggers would have correct dependencies added. but if the person would choose to see data fro that application only, database going down would not display any problems in that map, because they all would depend on triggers that are currently active... |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Oct 04 ] |
does the new severity filter in maps (for 2.2) solve this issue ? |

host and hostgroup elements can also have application filter since 2.4 - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/introduction/whatsnew240#application_filter_for_maps is there any usecase that would still need development ? |

I set value mappings so that The only place I can see to use the throw mappings is if you create a item (Config/Hosts/Item) I'm however not using a item for the graph. I've created a host and then a web scenario which I plot. I don't see anywhere in the web scenario/graph where you can select the value mapping. Now sure if this is a bug or a feature request? |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jan 19 ] |
value mapping is definitely meant for something else - it is actually for displaying a human readable value for numeric data. |
Comment by Greg McCarthy [ 2010 Jan 20 ] |
I basically just want to plot a filled region when the URL is accessable and nothing when its not. We can then easily see if is down. If were monitoring for example 4 URLs they will currently have a max value of 800 (4 x 200's) If one of them say goes down we get like one plotting a 500 and the others a 200. Its then not very easy to read from our monitoring station as the graph only changes values. If it plotted a 1 and a 0 then you could see much easier if there was a problem - if nothing is being plotted then something is down. We had something like that implemented in v1.6 where it plotted a 1 or a 0. |

what exactly would be disabled and why ? |
Comment by Murilo Moreira de Oliveira [ 2009 Nov 24 ] |
I have a windows template named TemplateWindowsServer2k3 and I've configured 5 items in this template to monitor disk used space (C:, D:, E: F: and G, I've configured 5 graphs in this template too using those items. For each host that is associated with this template, I've disabled the disks that are not installed (some hosts have only disks C: and E:, others, C: and G: and so on). Then, I'd like that the graphs associated with disabled items were not showed on Monitoring->Graphs form (it would be not possible to select graphs with disabled items in the combobox). Other alternative would be to permit an administrative user to disable graphs (inherited from a template) for a single host. PS: Sorry my bad English. |
Comment by richlv [ 2009 Nov 24 ] |
ok, got that. so you would like it so that custom graphs that contain only disabled items not to be displayed in the dropdown. |
Comment by Murilo Moreira de Oliveira [ 2009 Nov 24 ] |
Thinking of my first alternative, it's very probable that graph list creation would become the frontend very slow if it have to verify items for data. But I think that the second alternative (permit an administrative user to manually disable host graphs, inherited or not from a template) is more useful. Thus, the user would decide if he/she wants or not to enable some host/template graph or view past data from disabled items. The frontend would then only verify if the graph are enabled, minimizing the application load. |
Comment by hamid sfandiari [ 2011 Apr 23 ] |
if it possible to verify the enable/disable of graphs by enable/disable of items? is it good solution ? |

Comment by Greg Swift [ 2012 Aug 22 ] |
What is the benefit of this over a configuration management tool? I'd rather see improvements to functional areas rather than starting down the path of configuration management. I've got at least 3 that were filed years ago that could use some work. |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Aug 22 ] |
personally, i'd fully agree. unfortunately, there are companies that haven't invested in system/config management... and the interest in such a functionality is somewhat sizable, so there's probably no avoiding it in the long run |

here's a feature wishlist based on real world deployment :

Comment by Tim Mooney [ 2013 Jun 07 ] |
I understand what you're saying Rich, however I'm really with Greg. Organizations that are large enough to be struggling with zabbix agent config file deployment would be better served by getting a configuration management system in place and managing this via that system. Beyond just the config file, the configuration management system has other benefits: it can ensure that the version of the agent you want to have installed is actually installed, it can ensure that the agent service is running, it can ensure that there's a log file rotation policy in place for the zabbix agentd log, it can ensure than any custom scripts for custom item keys are also installed, etc. Even if you solve all of the config file issues via the agent itself, you can't really solve the "is the agent installed? is it running?" issue. Also, how do you solve the inherent security issue with the initial deployment of the config What would probably be more useful would be to make certain that there are very good manifests/recipes/scripts/whatever for several different configuration management systems, |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Jun 07 ] |
I agree with Tim. Before investing time in something like this I'd suggest to focus more on fixing the current security issues in Zabbix -but it's just my opinion... |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2015 Sep 09 ] |
Personally, I strongly disagree with this feature becoming a main part of Zabbix (missing a downvote button in Jira btw!). Zabbix is a monitoring tool, not a Config Management tool. Puppet, Chef, SaltStack and Ansible all have proven track records in this regard. I'd rather see the needed effort put into other things, like speeding up the API, improving UX or having some more advanced ways to process retrieved values. That being said, if it has to be done, please consider using an existing framework and integrating it into Zabbix. |

this is a feature which supposedly originates in ganglia and allows for network traffic reduction. in the case of zabbix, this feature would probably be configured on item level and only work with active agents. server, on the other hand, after the configured time period has passed, can do two things. 2. if "heartbeat" value is missing, server assumes all values since last successful transmission are missing. |
Comments |
Comment by fmrapid [ 2011 Mar 09 ] |
The above implementation description is simple and elegant and vastly increases system scalability. This is typical in industrial SCADA systems and with the OPC protocol used to communicate state and performance data from devices. The logic is simple and implementation leads to direct benefit. Note-1: The configurable margin should apply for floats and optionally for numeric values. Note-2: The implementation should also work with Zabbix sender type data. Note-3: This logic should be implemented as genericaly possible, to permit graphs, reports, etc. To make use of the "assumed" data values. |

Last time ITEM.DESCRIPTION is a nice editable value for item, which can be used in different ways. Why? -> already long time (after implementing LLD) I'm thinking how user can distinct created items, when discovery rule can receive only a numeric {#SNMPINDEX} macro and its value. It's usual common case. If item description is empty then ITEM.DESCRIPTION should be expanded to nothing. I think this solution is replacement for the But for templated (not LLD) items and triggers this feature can be useful too, with the same efficiency. Heh, it's not easy explain my vision, if you have question I'll answer. |

Costumizing font and colours for labels in maps would increase it's usability in monitoring screens. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 May 26 ] |
you can define font in defines.inc.php file - would that be enough ? |
Comment by Ricardo Santos [ 2010 May 26 ] |
For me yes. But for the sake of GUI administration that zabbix has, I don't think so. Or else it will became naggixx..... |
Comment by Ricardo Santos [ 2010 May 26 ] |
Wrong explanation from me. What I think it's nice to have is an element in map which is a label that we could change the font and font color. |
Comment by richlv [ 2010 Jun 07 ] |
ok, so something like a new map element "label" or "text", where one can specify font, font size & colour ? while that could be done with an image as well, it would be more convenient to have such a functionality built in, and it would also allow to specify macros in such labels. |
Comment by Ricardo Santos [ 2010 Jun 07 ] |
The images are not suitable for macro labeling. Imagine that we want to inform in a screen (for management for example) the number of accesses in a day. A label like that woud be useful because it would allow to print that information on a map in a graphical and attractive way. |
Comment by dougbee [ 2012 Feb 23 ] |
In addition, I'd like to be able to create maps with a dark background (to match the nice "Dark blue" theme); this is possible by using a background image that's simply all black. However the end result is unattractive black-on white labels. Custom font colors would fix the issue. |

patch available in |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Sep 07 ] |
ideally, both font & font size could be chosen for as many elements as possible (title, element name, status, timestamp, zabbix url...) |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2014 Apr 17 ] |
Perhaps using a BB or wiki style formatiing might be an option as well. This way tags could be used to genereate bold, italic, etc. |
Comment by Ebonweaver [ 2015 Apr 15 ] |
Since you can put in variables for a label to pull item data, I would love to see the abitlity to use basic html at the very least to change font, size, color, style. For example I have labels that are entire blocks of text with several lines of labels followed by different data being pulled to create a list of current supply levels on printers. I'd love to be able to bold the first line with a b tag (printer name) and underline each item with a u tag (black, cyan, etc) while leaving the data normal. It would make it much more readable. |
Comment by richlv [ 2017 Mar 26 ] |
this issue has become slightly unclear. is it about adding custom labels with data ? should be clarified. as a sidenote, it could have been solved by |
Comment by Ebonweaver [ 2017 Mar 26 ] |
Not sure what you're getting at. To me, custom labels with data and customizing the labels on an icon (is that what you mean by element?) are the same thing. When you add an icon to a map, the label is either static text, macros to call data, or both. In any of these cases, being able to change font style, size, and color, not just in one way on all text on a given icon, but multiple places in that label, would be great. In other words, I have an icon that is a printer of type host. In its label I have: {HOST.HOST}Status......{{HOST.HOST} :HPPrinterStatusMessage.last(0)} So for example if we could use HTML in the label, I could do something like: <u>Status</u>......{{HOST.HOST} :HPPrinterStatusMessage.last(0)} This allows us to format size, style, and color of the text portions in a label. Past that having free text elements rather than needing to do something like have an icon that is a little blank png would be nice, but that's somewhat past this initial request I think. :colors(green,red)}} |
Comment by Ebonweaver [ 2017 Mar 26 ] |
Not sure why extra line returns are being randomly inserted into the code examples I posted but I can't seem to remove them... |
Comment by Jack Valko [ 2018 Jan 03 ] |
This is still an issue in 3.4. We have these great looking maps with tiny tiny text that no one can read from a distance. New dashboards make this issue worse because map images in widgets generally scale down. Having the option to enter a font_size for a map element would fix this. |
Comment by Scrooch [ 2019 Jan 23 ] |
It's still problem... |
Comment by Radek Pavlík [ 2019 Aug 23 ] |
Maybe we need only CSS custom configuration? Its realy that hard to modifiing Map fonts? |
Comment by igors [ 2020 Feb 13 ] |
Font size and color should be cusotmizable for each map element, that's obvious thing, why developers are so stubborn on this one? Users are forced to get some 3rd party gui for monitoring dashboards because of lack of simple to implement functionality.

Description |
I'd like to have a facility for import/export on the Zabbix server itself. As it stands now, using the web-based import/export is limited by the bandwidth between my laptop and the Zabbix server; sometimes that is as low as modem speeds (painful!). |
Comments |
Comment by Cal Sawyer [ 2009 Sep 10 ] |
Very good idea, esp if it included status reporting. Very large imports/exports can take a long time to complete or exceed the PHP memory cache. Also would help keep exported data local to the system instead of loading to user's local system. |
Comment by Dmitry Maksimov [ 2010 Jan 14 ] |
Very good idea. I need dynamic items, triggers and graphs for monitoring different network equipment. For example: I need print Port Description in the title of graphs. Port Description is changing during the time. |
Comment by Cal Sawyer [ 2010 Jan 14 ] |
I was under the (probably mistaken) impression that this was going to be implemented in 1.8? Import/export is limited by network bandwidth and PHP upload_max_filesize. There is no feedback during the process, so you can wait a very long time before the process bombs out with errors. It is virtually impossible for me to export even a small portion of my installation. It seems to me that Apache-PHP is the limiting factor here - command-line i/o that doesn't depend on other subsystems would be way more efficient. |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2011 Apr 13 ] |
I believe nelsonab is working on a zabcon extention for this? |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Apr 24 ] |
probably the most feasible approach is to have an api call to send xml to it, then other tools like zabcon could just pass xml to the api. of course, php limits would still apply, thus maybe there should be an api call to get max upload filesize so that external tools could check immediately that process will not error out ? |
Comment by nelsonab [ 2011 May 08 ] |
Adding full XML import to Zabcon is in the works using the existing API, when XML import is added to the API Zabcon will be fixed to allow for that. |
Comment by Lauri Pitkänen [ 2011 May 10 ] |
Sorry but I think that the mentioned Zabcon feature should be another (useful) feature request. But this ZBXNEXT-10 request should be strictly about command line C-programs like "zabbix_import" and "zabbix_export" that import or export the XML-files with the same schema as the web interface ones directly to the database without using the API. For example we have thousands of hosts that we need to import automatically on a daily basis. Currently we use custom made HTTP client to handle the import through web-interface. It takes 1.5 hours to import all hosts. We almost started a project to import our data directly to the Zabbix database but I guess we should finally sponsor this missing core feature. |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 May 18 ] |
wouldn't it be better to make api perform better, thus making it the only externally automated interface ? |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2011 May 18 ] |
I agree that concentrating on API is a logical approach. However, a lot of users don't have time for (or interest in) researching the inner workings of the API interface just to load a bunch of templates. So it would still be very handy if a small tool command line tool could be provided to easily bulk import/export multiple XML templates. I don't think it would be a problem if this tool would use the API functionality under the hood. |
Comment by Vance Turner [ 2012 Jan 05 ] |
I was a key deployment engineer at BMC and wrote the Excel/Perl/command Line integration toolset that imports and exports the system wide configurations of the monitoring. If I could get zapcon and get it working, it doesn't take a lot for me to migrate the perl to the zapcon command. What I would need help with is the queries to the mysql or other databases to export the data back into excel. Any takers? |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Aug 10 ] |
api now has import/export feature which accepts xml directly. |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2012 Aug 30 ] |
Nelsonab, any plans of including the new xml api functionality in Zabcon? |
Comment by richlv [ 2012 Aug 30 ] |
you can actually do that with zabcon, raw json and some parsing |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2012 Aug 30 ] |
Yes, but that would require json knowledge...in that case we could just as well use curl |
Comment by Raymond Kuiper [ 2012 Aug 30 ] |
My point here is that we need a 'simple' way of doing this to people who don't code can issue a simple command in a terminal window and get a download of the templates they wanted. Zabcon can fill that gap (easy to setup and the build in commands are fairly simple). |

Hmm, interesting question. Even if the processing will be super-fast, we still have a chance of slow comunications, slow-downs on agent side, etc. I think that the best solution would be expanding of the function to support second parameter which would specify how many last values we compare with ZABBIX server's system time. Like: fuzzytime(5, 3) - if all 3 most recent values are within 5 seconds range, return 0 Will it help? http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=27268 |

I'm running the zabbix agentd daemon (from the initscripts) and as expected it's dropping privileges to the zabbix user. It would be greats is the process could use the secondary groups of the zabbix user defined in /etc/group, this way I could read log files with the permissions 0640, or execute script to very database files with the permissions 0640. I read the man page for setgroups (function to use to add secondary groups to current process), and it's not POSIX .1-2001 compliant: CONFORMING TO is that the reason why it's not implemented in src/libs/zbxnix/daemon.c ?

Whenever i configure a new site, it may involve the creation of several new hosts groups. I inevitably forget to extend permissions for the user groups who need to view them. I propose some system of Subscriptions where a given user group automatically obtains R/O or R/W permissions for some "super-group" and all subgroups. This might also require the ability to set host group hierarchies ... somewhere. |

It is conceptually silly, but I will publish this idea anyway. Warning: This is NOT applicable for multitenant environment! Stop reading if you have multitenant environment! A workaround is available starting with Zabbix 5.4. For companies where "one team" = "one dream" and it's OK if everyone can see everything, then it is possible to create a user which belongs to "Zabbix Super Admin" role but forbid this role to have access to "Configuration" and "Administration" section. On a surface level it looks like read only user, but underneath the hood it is super admin. Practically, this user cannot do any harm to the instance, because all administrative API methods (UI are built on top of API) are forbidden. This configuration solves problems: 1) Never touch the user group management again. New groups are automatically visible. 2) It will be the maximum speed for the user experiences. It will be a significant boost for instances with 10000+ hosts. Here is how to configure user: User role: It does not matter what kind of host groups we give to User group: Set the user group to belong to some imaginary host group The user role is "Super Admin" Result: we have a very limited platform: |

Aleksandrs, i can't use "system.hostname" because the real hostname not always match the hostname that is assigned to it on Zabbix. On Zabbix i can assign a name with some sort of equipment identification, like "SWT_SAO_PAULO_01" for a switch. That's is why a macro would be so useful to me. |

My actual workaround is use mass update for the hosts of the same type, and assign them the same Inventory info and register an icon mapping that matches that inventory info. For now, this solves my problem. |

Currently event acknowledge has only two status, not-acknowledged and acknowledged. Escalations will be stopped and events will disappear from dashboard if events status become acknowledged status. There's a case I want to mark events to "confirmed" status, not stop escalations and still visible on dashboard. Also sometimes I make mistakes to add acknowledge message to incorrect events. This case I want to change back the events to not-acknowledged status. For those case, some statuses for acknowledge is useful for that case, like ticket management system:

note that escalations, dashboard and other places are customisable based on ack status (operation condition, frontend filters), they do not always take it into account - that's a user preference. having a hard dependency would remove that flexibility |

Hmm, since there is software available that can easily produce very high quality control flow graphs (beside other awesome stuff, btw) based on existing source code, this ticket is probably of low interest to developers. From a (non programming skilled) user perspective it might be more valuable to have just "simple" flow diagrams than program equivalent control diagrams. So, possibly rather a community task... |

any use case ? |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 29 ] |
The idea came up by the wish to have a visual overview about which database is configured to be used as master or slave of an application instance. Now when having lots of application instances one has to maintain dedicated maps. Initially exporting the map, making lots of copies, updating the copies according instance and finally importing the new maps works. But as soon as something needs to be adjusted it doesn't help much. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Aug 30 ] |
thanks, but what exactly could be implemented to improve it ? |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Sep 01 ] |
A host screen allows to be build once on template level and may consist of elements available on that level. Host maps could provide the same for map elements. Admittedly this is probably of little benefit to most people. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Sep 01 ] |
ok, got the idea. would work best for people that use host to describe a more complex system where it makes sense to visualise them individually. |

Even a rather small value cache utilization of a couple of hundred megabytes may be based on hours of database queries on start-up. In the end it should be optional. While the real cause is related to value cache, other caches might possibly benefit from this too. |

on one hand this wouldn't help that much with longer downtimes - but the dump could also be partial - for example. containing info on items that do not have any values at all |

Yes, of course. For maintenance, reconfiguration or short outages it might allow very fast recovery to normal operation. |

To change user authentication type to LDAP you need to add user to user group with frontend access set to LDAP. To change back you will need to remove user from that user group. As for HTTP authentication: HTTP Basic authentication is done on webserver level therefor API cannot control it, SAML authentication can be used for any Zabbix user with frontend access set to Internal. |

(1) Would worth to explicitly mention that "Queue doesn't show items from hosts which are Unavailable". I think next:
on https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/administration/queue should be reviewed. I mean "connection problems" could be wrong here. Consider to merge page "config/items/queue" to "web_interface/frontend_sections/administration/queue" page. I don't see much sense to have 2 pages, which are very similar. Moreover, the "config/items/queue" page doesn't very fit to Configuration section, there are nothing "to configure". |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2014 Apr 14 ] |
(2) Note Unavailable|Unreachable - both should be included. Currently only Unavailable are displayed as a red corresponding icon. It will provide an ability to frontend user to filter such hosts and investigate them. |

Description |
Currently the Java gateway sends a separate JMX getAttribute() request for each item. This is quite wasteful, as JMX supports bulk retrieval via getAttributes(). Furthermore, for items from composite objects the gateway currently ends up requesting the exact same object multiple times (in our case we literally have about 100 items in one composite object, so the object is being fetched 100 times, forcing us to add special caching on the server for this object). The result of this is a noticeable load on our monitored servers. The attached patch implements bulk retrieval in the gateway, including for discovered items. The approach is basically: This is working in our production and has noticeably lowered the load on both the monitored servers and zabbix. A further enhancement would be improve the zabbix poller to submit requests for items in the same jmx-object in one go, similar to what was discussed for SNMP in The patch is against branches/2.2 r43648. |

For me it doesn't match a bit what AB said about further enhancement. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Mar 30 ] |
Haven't investigated the code yet. But from my understanding requests are currently pooled together to send them over a single tcp connection and this patch should enable to receive multiple values of the same MBean by one request. |
Comment by A B [ 2014 Apr 03 ] |
Marc is exactly correct. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear before, so let me try again. Currently the zabbix poller will collect a bunch of items (often 30 or 40) to be updated and send that as a single request to the java gateway. The java gateway will then open a single JMX/TCP connection, but will then send a separate request (MBeanServerConnection.getAttribute(jmx-object, attribute)) for each item. Now, often there are several items that correspond to different attributes of the same jmx-object (e.g., in the "Template JMX Generic" you'll find jmx["java.lang:type=ClassLoading",LoadedClassCount], jmx["java.lang:type=ClassLoading",TotalLoadedClassCount], and jmx["java.lang:type=ClassLoading",UnloadedClassCount]). So instead of doing three separate requests for these this patch will issue a single MBeanServerConnection.getAttributes("java.lang:type=ClassLoading", [LoadedClassCount, TotalLoadedClassCount, UnloadedClassCount]) request. That is the first optimization. The second one is even bigger in our case: suppose one of the attributes returns a composite object. So, say, you have items jmx[obj,attr.a1.b1], jmx[obj,attr.a1.b2], jmx[obj,attr.a2.b1], jmx[obj,attr.a2.b2], etc. These are all "independent" items in zabbix's view, but they are all values from the same composite object. And currently the java gateway will end up issuing a separate getAttribute() request for each of these items, even though each request is exactly the same (namely MBeanServerConnection.getAttribute(obj, attr)). So the second optimization is to only issue a single request in this case. As I said in the description, we have composite objects with around 100 items (think a1...a20, and b1...b5), so this optimization is quite significant in our case. I hope this clarifies things a bit. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2014 Apr 10 ] |
roadrunner, this would be a great improvement to the Java gateway. It is out of scope for today's bugsquash though. |
Comment by A B [ 2014 Apr 12 ] |
I cleaned up the patch a little bit after realizing it didn't compile under java 6 (it was using the diamond operator) - not sure if java 6 compatibility is really required, but at least the ubuntu package appears to have a dependency on 6 instead of java 7. Anyway, besides removing the use of the diamond operator, I also added some comments on the new datastructures and created essentially a type alias for one map to simplify and clarify things a little. In short, the functionality and behaviour of this new patch is identical to the previous, which the changes being mostly syntactic to (hopefully) improve readability. |

The easiest way to deploy and auto-configure agents is via a single command line. Many companies are using this successfully and Example from datadog:
DD_API_KEY=1234 bash -c "$(curl -L http://dtdg.co/agent-install-ubuntu)"
Such a command installs latest version of the agent and also configures it to connect to the right server, also adds the yum or apt-get repositories so further updates will be installer properly. Also the same command happens to work on Mac OS X, and probably could work on Windows if run from Cygwin (even so DataDog had a different installer for Windows). Anyway the whole point of this it to ease the deployment of the zabbix agents, we could have something like:
ZABBIX_SERVER=zabbix.example.com bash -c "$(curl -L http://zabbix.com/agent-install)"

Right now it's impossible to build loadable modules out of Zabbix source tree. The right way is to install development headers into /usr/include directory (maybe under zabbix subdirectory), which later could be packaged into zabbix-plugins-dev package.

I've created in ZBX-11767 patch for this with improved dummy module tree am/ac/lt support with example covering whole live cycle of module code from creating dist tar ball to make almost instant create rpm package with module. |
Comment by Ryan Armstrong [ 2017 Jun 18 ] |
This is a serious issue for Module developers. I've spent hours tracing an issue for my community of users. The issue was caused because the headers in the Zabbix sources were being used by my modules and being mutated by the configure scripts in Zabbix build process. |

Going off of this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8396994/2776578 <- is this still valid? Is there no way to store the results in memory to pass on to an email? |

Having a way to (optionally) store and see the response of a web scenario step would be very beneficial. |
Comment by Nick Fielding [ 2014 May 22 ] |
This would be very handy indeed. I've currently got an intermittent issue of 'Unexpected Web Content' and having a copy of the response data may help in diagnosing this! |

Description |
It would be extremely helpful for Proxies to be able to prioritize the sending of some types of data. It'd be pretty cool if the server could have a way to tell a proxy "Hey, this item has a trigger associated with it" and then the proxy could prioritize sending that data over something else that doesn't have a trigger at all. This would prevent problems where huge data backlogs can cause triggers to be missed for long periods of time because data that doesn't matter to triggers is sent in the same priority as data that DOES matter. Another option to this would be to instead allow each item to have a configured priority. That data could be sent to the proxies instead and the proxy could be sure to send that data first and only send data in a priority order. |

Comment by richlv [ 2014 May 22 ] |
as discussed today, this would be a great feature (especially for the proxy internal monitoring items). at least one edge case, though... if proxy has some config and then triggers are added/changed on the server, proxy will not know about that for a while, thus data sequence - triggers/events would be messed up. while not a frequent situation, edge cases are the most annoying to debug per-item prioritisation would be a bit too much of a micro-management, imho |

Description |
Currently when creating actions for internal events, it is not possible to include the maintenance status in the conditions for that action, unlike for trigger based events. This is a problem since this means we get a bunch of high priority alerts when maintenance is performed. To give a little background: we have a host-group representing set of servers, where the actual servers are dynamically started and stopped according to load; a separate job takes care of detecting stopped hosts an marking them as not-monitored. Now, we need an alert if the number of servers ever goes to 0. For that we have a health item on each server (1 = healthy, 0 = bad), and then an aggregate host with an item grpsum["<host-group-of-the-servers>", <health-item>, last, 0], as well as a trigger on this grpsum item. The trigger will fire if all hosts have a health of 0 and there is at least one host; but if there are no (monitored) hosts in the host-group (all machines were stopped) then the grpsum item unfortunately goes into "not supported" state. Hence a separate action has been set up for this internal event. And just like actions for trigger based events, we need to be able to suppress this action when the host-group is put into maintenance. |

Description |
With growing number of assets (hosts, groups, users, ...) there is no easy way to guarantee a specific configuration design. I used to think this could be a task for auto-registration together with network discovery. But these are obviously more intended for initial setup and not for automating configuration in general. My first thought was writing a daemon by myself with its own UI that periodically checks and updates assets according to its rule database via API. I believe for large environments there is a need for assuring some settings by a kind of configuration policies. |

Would be nice to have an additional section/tab in 'Configuration of templates' and 'Configuration of hosts' where the complete hierarchy of linked templates gets visualized recursively. This could probably even make 'Linked templates' and 'Template' columns in list of templates resp. list of hosts obsolete. Might be another use case for D3.js |

Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 11 ] |
First attempt with Graphviz: Actually I started with the template listing what was not requested by this issue: The upcoming uploaded patch(es):
I think of using SVG later at least in the template list to add proper hyper-links of the respective objects. That would then make the columns 'Linked templates' and 'Linked to' obsolete and save some space. Further I think of combing the template list patch with ZBXNEXT-1796 to save even more space and get a nice listing. I'm expecting to upload the patches tomorrow, err. today after having a sleep If I had known it would become that easy, I had done this much sooner. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 11 ] |
The attached patch zbxnext2100-2.2.5.patch implements mentioned functionality. Finally it's one patch instead of two. Additionally to the already mentioned changes the patch adds a linkage overview to hosts as well: Edit: Beside applying the patch graphviz's php library is needed (graphviz-php on EL6). |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 13 ] |
Attached patch zbxnext2100-2.2.5-2.patch includes some minor improvements and adds hyper-links to hosts and templates in list view of templates:
Because hyper-links are enabled by an image map the colors are hard coded and not set by CSS. Since treating this as a POC and due to the fact that upstream devs would probably rather create their own Graphviz-like classes when considering this for implementation, I don't plan to add setting of colors based on themes CSS. Btw, unfortunately I was not able to get hyper-links be written underlined. This appears to be limited by the EL6 distributed Graphviz version that does not support this yet. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Aug 13 ] |

We have some advanced checks we deploy using templates with macro's, such as for doing webchecks or SSL certificate checks on many vhosts. Now we have a massive list of {$SITE_1} .... {$SITE_10} etc. It would be a great help if Zabbix could treat macro'ed differently by disabling them (or even better: setting them to "Not Available") when there is value for the macro. It could then be auto-enabled whenever the macro has a value. |

not sure this would work that well outside this specific case. sometimes people intentionally do not define value for a macro and that just uses some default value in a script |

Zabbix DB: |
Description |
My zabbix DB (Postgres 9.2) had grown huge (270 GB) and after some investigation I found the history and history_uint tables had grown to 60 GB each (not including indexes). I cleaned it out manually but I think the problem may be that the housekeeper wasn't able to clean up such massive tables. The housekeeper deletion queries were extremely slow - from pgbadger (log parser for Postgres logs): 24.169s | DELETE FROM history_uint WHERE itemid = 33909 AND clock < 1373867589; I ended up writing this query that does the job pretty quickly. Rather than running an individual query for each item, this cleans the entire table in a single query (though it has a limit to prevent running out of memory, so it needs to be run multiple times): zabbix=# delete from history where ctid = any ( array ( select h.ctid from history h join items i on h.itemid=i.itemid where h.clock < extract ( epoch from now() - i.history * interval '1 day')::int + 7200 limit 20000000)); This was an actual query I just ran on my zabbix DB which deleted 20,000,000 old rows from the history table in 101 seconds. This is several orders of magnitude faster than the current housekeeper. |

please use zabbix forums, irc and other channels for community support. this tracker is for bugreports. |
Comment by Sistemas [ 2013 Oct 09 ] |
I'll rewrite that. I need a compiled or a procedure to install Zabbix Agent in ESX Host. As I'd check in forums there's no way to do it as we deploy the agent. |

Description |
Rich suggested there should be something like a census module that would gather all kind of information about Zabbix installation and submit it to the developers. This would allow us to learn more about real user environments: number of items per type, number of IPMI hosts, number of SNMP hosts, number of triggers, user count, etc., and plan the development accordingly. |

Comment by richlv [ 2010 Aug 24 ] |
i'm not sure server should be doing that - frontend might be a better choice because it could prompt user and show the information to user before submitting. additionally, we should support multiple methods of submitting the information, because zabbix installation might not have direct access to internet - sending an email (requires configuring smpt params), posting to webpage (would require http proxy support) etc. anyway, initial list of things we might be interested in (initial list should be as inclusive as possible) : unique id (how to construct one ?) so that changes in data might be seen afterwards; this post should be edited to add more/improve existing |

Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Jul 21 ] |
For security freaks the process of gathering data can be organized as follows. Server will dump usage statistics into its database where it may stay undisclosed forever if the user is not willing to help improving Zabbix. But for those who are Zabbix will provide a standalone utility to extract this data from the database and generate a human-readable report in plain text file or XML. This file can be then reviewed for the presence/absence of any sensitive information and submitted manually in a special user feedback corner of https://www.zabbix.com. |

in the past it was planned for 4.0, why was it removed? If you add this option, please make as "opt-in" option |

Description |
Is there a way to add a new low-level discovery rule that uses the same key as another rule? I want to add a separate filesystem detection rule for filesystems on one machine with specific checks for them (using another filter regex), but currently I cannot create a rule that uses the 'vfs.fs.discovery' key - zabbix throws the following error: ERROR: Cannot add discovery rule Is there any way to bypass that? |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Feb 03 ] |
keys must be unique per host. try changing rule key slightly - for example, vfs.fs.discovery[] |
Comment by Sergey Pyatin [ 2013 Feb 03 ] |

Comment by richlv [ 2013 Feb 03 ] |
indeed, that's not supported. will move to feature requests |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Jun 20 ] |
we could simply allow empty parameters, but that would not be very optimal - discovery would be run separately for each rule. a proper solution would be to allow an lld rule to "attach" to another lld rule. in that case 'attached' rule would not run any item key itself, but whenever the 'originating' rule would get a value, it would be passed to all attached rules. usecase - on some network interfaces we want to monitor availability and traffic only, on others we also want to include errors and discards, yet on others - traffic separated by unicast, multicast, broadcast. multiple lld rules would overload the network device. |

Just a workaround: system.run["n=1 zabbix-agent -t vfs.fs.discovery | sed -re 's/vfs.fs.discovery\s+\[s\|// ; s/]$//'"] system.run["n=2 zabbix-agent -t vfs.fs.discovery | sed -re 's/vfs.fs.discovery\s+\[s\|// ; s/]$//'"] system.run["n=... zabbix-agent -t vfs.fs.discovery | sed -re 's/vfs.fs.discovery\s+\[s\|// ; s/]$//'"] Or as a UserParameter: UserParameter=vfs.fs.discovery.multi[*],zabbix-agent -t vfs.fs.discovery | sed -re 's/vfs.fs.discovery\s+\[s\|// ; s/]$//' vfs.fs.discovery.multi[1] vfs.fs.discovery.multi[2] vfs.fs.discovery.multi[...] |
Comment by Christian Reizlein [ 2014 Sep 18 ] |
Dmitry Workaround would work, but you have to also rename FSNAME/FSTYPE to something like FSNAME2/FSTYPE2 so item prototypes wont get duplicate keys (at least FSNAME which is used) system.run["n=2 zabbix-agent -t vfs.fs.discovery | sed -re 's/vfs.fs.discovery\s+\[s\|// ; s/]$// ; s/FSNAME/FSNAME2/g'"] But also, my main problem now is that you have to know "zabbix-agent" location, which is not always the same on all our hosts... so its not working |
Comment by Arli [ 2014 Oct 28 ] |
It also applies to trapper items that include discovery macro. For example if I have multiple LLD rules to put together a list of jobs and one source that reports the status of those jobs, it would be nice to be able to create just an item with key: job_status[{#JOB}] for all the different LLD rules. |
Comment by Todd Ebersviller [ 2015 Feb 18 ] |
I agree this would be nice. On Windows you can use a hack like this: That'll allow the second LLD to run still using vfs.fs.discovery. You could use the same type of hack for the item if that's a duplicate. In my case I just used pused since I was using pfree on the other template. |

Comment by pfoo [ 2019 Jan 15 ] |
Should this really be closed ? I feel like this should be fixed either by allowing argument in discovery (vfs.fs.discovery[*]) by default in agent, or even better, fixed server side. |
Comment by Mickael Martin (Cyres) [ 2021 Mar 30 ] |
Agree with pfoo ,this is a workaround, not a fix. Moreover, there are no possibilities to update all agents to add an alias like this. |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2021 Jul 22 ] |
Just putting my two cents on this issue in agreement. When building for example Windows Service discovery, one might want two seperate templates. One template for all the "default" Windows service we want to monitor on EVERY Windows host and application templates that are different PER host. Then there's the application (Application name example Solahti) which might run something like the following services:
Now if you want to add these in your discovery rule, but you want to keep the default you'd need to use the filter macro's. But that means you have to override this for every single host that runs this application. You don't want to do that. Besides your defaults might change as well, so that means you need to maintain seperate macro's to not interfere with the defaults. It's also not possible to do several templates, as macro's don't transfer between templates on hosts, so it needs to be host level...
The real solution is having a service.discovery key on a host multiple times coming from different templates. The only way to achieve that is with something like service.discovery[application 1] and service.discovery[application 2]. Definitely a must have to further automate setups. |

if low level discovery rule does not discover some entity anymore, we show a warning on the frontend, but there is no way to alert on this. for example, we can monitor filesystems for used space, but not for availability. maybe that could be another internal event type ? "New LLD entities discovered" / "Previously discovered LLD entities lost" the last would be a bit bad with period of 0 - could we have some way to notify user about which entities were lost ? |

Hi, has anyone found a workaround? I'm looking for a way to identify when a discovered item stops to be discovered...

Comment by Peter Barrette [ 2024 Jan 24 ] |
Hi Ceasar, here's what I've done: Create a user parameter file for zabbix agent on the zabbix server: /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d/userparameter_pgsql.conf
The file contains the following line:
UserParameter=zabbix.undiscovered,psql -d zabbix -U zabbix -c "select count(item_discovery.ts_delete) from item_discovery where item_discovery.ts_delete <> 0 and item_discovery.key_ not like 'exclude%';" -qt
Note that I'm using a PostgreSQL database, so I also need a .pgpass file for the zabbix user:
/var/lib/zabbix/.pgpass
That file contains the password for the zabbix dabase user: localhost:*:*:zabbix:passwordhere
Then create a new check item for the zabbix server: Name: Zabbix Server dropped from discovery Type: Zabbix agent Key: zabbix.undiscovered Type: Numeric Then create a new trigger: Name: Count of items dropped from discovery: {ITEM.VALUE} Expression: last(/Zabbix Server/zabbix.undiscovered)<>0 Severity: Whatever you like.
This produces an alert with the count of dropped discovery items. To find the specific items that were dropped, I then SSH into the zabbix server and execute the following query against the pgsql database:
select hosts.name, items.name, items.status, to_timestamp(item_discovery.lastcheck) as lastcheck, to_timestamp(item_discovery.ts_delete) as ts_delete
from items
left join hosts on items.hostid = hosts.hostid
left join item_discovery on items.itemid = item_discovery.itemid
where item_discovery.ts_delete <> 0
and item_discovery.key_ not like 'exclude%'
order by hosts.host;
Note that I ignore certain dropped discovery items in both cases with the "and item_discovery.key_ not like 'exclude%'" syntax. If you don't need that, don't use it. |
Comment by Cesar Inacio Martins [ 2024 Jan 24 ] |
Hi Peter ,
Thank you for your suggestion, however, they don't apply to my environment. I need something that shows exactly to our support team what is missing. |
Comment by Peter Barrette [ 2024 Jan 24 ] |
Play around with the userparameter query and you can get the full list dumped to the item and handle the trigger based on that. |
Comment by Gustavo Guido [ 2024 Feb 05 ] |
A work arround could be done by an script item that uses de API and reports the not dicovered itms. Whith the new history.push you can fire a trigger. |

Adding support for MonetDB. Attached is the converted Zabbix database schema, data, image DDL / DML / SQL for using MonetDB. Information found on MonetDB.org website: Since 2011 column store technology as pioneered in MonetDB has found its way into the product offerings of all major commercial database vendors. It is based on the SQL 2003 and SQL 2008 standards, is fully ACID compliant, and supports a rich spectrum of programming interfaces (JDBC, ODBC, PHP, Python, RoR, C/C++, Perl). It's a very active open source database. I'm planning to extend the Zabbix source code to include the proper dialect translations and PHP / Mapi client support. Even without being a novice programmer, this is very complicated, so I'm submitting these SQL files to the Zabbix community to help excel the effort. There are many advantages to using MonetDB, and I will continue attempting to extend Zabbix support for this columnar database platform. |

Hi, Service providers often base their billing on the 95th percentile of bandwidth usage on a link. In a graph the percentile can be displayed easily, but I'd like to get this value over a given period from the API as well. This would allow me to base billing on these value, instead of getting the value from the mysql database directly. |

Comment by Vjaceslavs Bogdanovs [ 2017 Jun 12 ] |
JMX operation support would be a nice feature, but it is not that simple... Provided solution is limited to strings only and uses item key as a data buffer for operation name and param names. Currently item key is limited to 255 characters and adding all the values with their types into one input field will be a nightmare for a user (so fragmented input is a must). So looks like limited solution (for basic java.lang types) is the closest Zabbix can get to JMX operation support without asking user to write custom scripts or do some magic inducing serialization of params. |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 May 15 ] |
It might be worth implementing operation support with plain strings as the first shot. It would allow to verify the basics and additional parameter support can come at a later time. |
Comment by Matias [ 2021 Jul 30 ] |

It would be very helpful if in the Event Details area of an event, there was a row on the left that included the Maintenance status during the event. When troubleshooting Actions and Triggers, it's very difficult to know if the maintenance was adhered to. Having this information would take a lot of guesswork out of it. |

Comment by Volker Fröhlich [ 2012 Mar 14 ] |
From my point of view, actual maintenance periods should be stored along with the host, as long as maintenance is only host based. This way you could also visualize it in graphs. |

I've updated issue summary to not limit all possible use cases, linked here as duplicates. |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Dec 28 ] |
here's a hackish idea that might or might not work. my usecase is grabbing events with event.get to produce a report on which events and how many times have fired during a specific period of time. the hackish idea is to have an action that sends an alert with a "not in maintenance" condition (adjusting other conditions as needed to minimise the amount of these "extra" alerts). will have to play with this to see whether it works as hoped. |
Comment by James Sperry [ 2016 Dec 28 ] |
just to be clear, my use case is not to exclude events which were created during maintenance. We automate the adding and removing of maintenance in our environment. So when we remove a host or group from maintenance, the maintenance item is deleted. So if someone comes to me and says "Hey, why didn't we see this alert last week", I would like to look into the event history and say "it was in maintenance at the time" thanks. |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Dec 29 ] |
ejames, yes, that's harder. the best i can think of - having two nearly identical actions. one with, one without "not in maintenance" condition. then an api-crawling script that compares alerts from both. any difference must be caused by an active maintenance at the time... |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Dec 31 ] |
as for the event.get problem, looks like alert.get can be used to work around the lack of the maintenance status like this :
of course, that will scale much worse - more alerts than events, might have to filter by a large number of events. other than that, seems to work for the intended purpose - finding out what alerted over some period, while ignoring things that happened during an active maintenance. |

Zabbix agent status on Zabbix server has some problems at the moment.
I think it's good that Zabbix server and agent communicate using exclusive heartbeat connection periodically. |
Comments |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Nov 08 ] |
hmm. usual suggestion is to avoid using 'status' item and use agent.ping + nodata() instead - that should solve this issue |
Comment by Kodai Terashima [ 2011 Nov 08 ] |
I know agent.ping + nodata() solution, but the solution don't solve the first problem And, I think check of agent availability is important, but agent.ping + nodata() is difficult for Zabbix beginners. |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Nov 08 ] |
in latest versions userparameters going down still should result in nodata() trigger for agent.ping. would that solve the problem ? continuing with slow hosts as usual is not feasible, as they would hamper the overall monitoring - such userparameters should be fixed/changed |
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2011 Nov 09 ] |
Kodai, about "if any user parameter item take a long time, Zabbix server stop monitoring all of other item on same host" But this feature request is very interesting overall. |
Comment by Kodai Terashima [ 2011 Nov 09 ] |
Thank you pointing that out, Oleksiy. first problem I wrote looks same problem as I think heartbeat communication between server and agent (and unreachable host is handled by heartbeat) improve the problem and usability so much. |
Comment by Peter Schultz [ 2011 Nov 09 ] |
...Only one "slow userparameter or check" affect to all of other items on same host. I think it is not good behavior. Zabbix server should only change item status to not supported in this case. ... agreed !!! |
Comment by missing [ 2012 Nov 03 ] |
i had this problem yet,i found something funny that zabbix server will check that server after aboute 320 minutes again. |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2014 Nov 08 ] |
Zabbix setting a host as unreachable just because one item is bad, is the most annoying thing. The biggest problem is that it makes Zabbix unreliable, because if one item times out, the whole host gets disabled, so it stops running other items on that host, which means the host is not being monitored properly. I think the easiest way to solve this problem is to define items which can make a host unreachable, e.g. it could be a check box in the item create/edit page called "Make host unreachable on time out", or some better name. This way e.g. agent.ping could have that checkbox set and only that item would make the host unreachable. |
Comment by richlv [ 2014 Nov 08 ] |
that's a different problem which is tracked at |
Comment by Strahinja Kustudic [ 2014 Nov 08 ] |
Well it's not a different problem, they are related, since both of them would change how we detect if a host is unreachable. |

Hi Zabbix Team, to use Zabbix in a big IT environment it seems neccessary to display all the Systemstatus and Alarms in a separted way, depending on the Service Level responsibility of a Zabbix user. For example a normal Service Level 1 user does not have to know each bits and bytes of the system to decide which kind of failure happend....to much information will just confuse him. He just have to handle fast and informe the right persons in critical situations....but of course a Level 3 Specialist must have access to all kind of deaper informations (eg. Warnings, Informationals,...) I think it should be quite easy for you to implement a filter function in Zabbix for different Information Levels, depending which kind of DisplayGroup the user belongs to. What do you think about this possible Feature? Does it makes sence to you? Regards johann |

couldn't this be currently done by showing displays, filtered by trigger severity ? |
Comment by Johann Brajer [ 2011 Nov 14 ] |
I think there was a little missunderstanding... It would be nice to setup different profils with special rights to see specific Items and alarms As i know this is not possible |
Comment by richlv [ 2011 Nov 14 ] |
hmm, that's a bit too vague. would be nice to specify which entities in which pages are meant, and what the effect should be |
Comment by Johann Brajer [ 2011 Nov 14 ] |
> different Service Level members have access to the same data of IT Systems (hostdata) but a different view on the Systems. eg. we have Sevice Level 1 members which should be alarmed only if a Critical Error with enormous consequencies happens, but not if some systems have redundancy. This failures should only be seen by the System Specialists (Level3) . > Reason just to hold the count of failures short. maps: > conclusion: Different typ of Trigger Setup for specific Group of Users.....for the Dashboard View, The Trigger View and The Map Views. ...also Screens... hope its now a little bit clearer |

Comments |
Comment by Filipe Paternot [ 2014 Apr 25 ] |
I would prefer more for creating multiple zabbix environments (test/production). This way the proxy could behave like the agent (http://blog.zabbix.com/multiple-servers-for-active-agent-sure/858/) and answer to many zabbix servers at once. I think we can do something remotely close to it when we set the variable ProxyLocalBuffer on zabbix_proxy.conf, but it would be more like a Macgyver.. |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2016 May 26 ] |
I'll be able to make a patch here maybe — we're using two Zabbix servers, I already have patch for zabbix_sender. |
Comment by zhang [ 2016 Jul 16 ] |
@Dmitry, could you please share your patch? |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2016 Jul 18 ] |
zhangjun, I did not make it because I still don't use Zabbix proxy and 2.4 is lack of support now — I'll probably make it for 3.0 someday, but can't give you any ETA on that. |

Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Jul 21 ] |
Guys, could you clarify what's expected from poor Zabbix proxy? Agent can be polled in passive mode by multiple servers/proxies without any problems because each check is independent and no state needs to be stored on agent's side. Agent can also work with multiple servers/proxies in active mode, but it's a bit more complicated because there is a list of checks to do from every server/proxy. Current solution is that active checks for every server/proxy run within a single process/thread. Independently. List of checks is stored in memory of "active" process/thread. I don't think that the same is expected from proxy. Proxy has a much more complicated configuration to manage, that's why it has a database, configuration cache, etc. Making it work with multiple servers independently while storing all configurations in one database and one configuration cache would be really complicated. Creating multiple databases and multiple configuration caches for one proxy instance would have no benefits compared to multiple proxy instances running in parallel (this configuration can be achieved without code modification). And I'm not sure it's required. What's probably expected is an ability for an active proxy to switch between multiple servers as a configuration source and gathered data sink, so that there is only one server proxy works with at a time. Currently such switch requires editing configuration file and restarting a proxy with inevitable downtime and a risk of data loss. The request is about making this procedure easier, right? |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Jul 21 ] |
If my guess is correct then (partial) implementation of ZBXNEXT-3162 can probably solve the problem. |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2017 Jul 28 ] |
glebs.ivanovskis, running few instances of proxy, all of which will be "ServerActive" for client but each have their own servers is nice. However, could this be documented as official solution for situation where you need active items from more than one server and need to use proxy at the same time? Seems far from obvious for me, however it might be the solution for that ZBXNEXT. I'll try to write doc myself, sounds like a plan. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Jul 28 ] |
It seems that high availability setup is not covered in our documentation. There is unofficial guide, but it is quite old. I'd suggest to create a documentation issue for this. Paskal, will you be so kind to do that? I think you will describe real life needs better than me. |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2017 Jul 31 ] |
That's a draft, where should I publish it? Zabbix.org wiki? Case you have multiply Zabbix servers (each of which gathers data from agents) and need to use proxy with this setup, you need multiply proxies, because each could work only with one server. Instruction below is about setting 2+ proxies on same host. 1. Install zabbix-proxy (zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 package, for example) 2. Adjust /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf for Zabbix Server 1, then copy it to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy_2.conf and adjust it for second server. Points of interest: Field | value for first server 1 | value for first server 2 Server= | IP_of_server_1 | IP_of_server_2 ListenPort= | 10051 | 10061 # ports must be different for first and second server if you want to use proxy in Active mode (default) PidFile= | /var/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.pid | /var/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy_2.pid DBName= | SQLite3_path_1 | SQLite3_path_2 DBSocket= | /tmp/mysql.sock | /tmp/mysql_2.sock 3. Copy /etc/init.d/zabbix-proxy to /etc/init.d/zabbix-proxy-2 and adjust following line: 'NAME=zabbix_proxy' ==> 'NAME=zabbix_proxy_2' '--exec $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1' ==> '--exec "$DAEMON -c $CONFFILE" >/dev/null 2>&1' And add another variable below NAME: CONFFILE=/etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf 4. In case your system use systemd (CentOS, Debian 8+, Ubuntu 15.04+), copy /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zabbix-proxy.service to /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zabbix-proxy-2.service and adjust following lines: Environment="CONFFILE=/etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy_2.conf" PIDFile=/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy_2.pid Now you're ready to go, do "service zabbix-proxy start" and "service zabbix-proxy-2 start" to get two proxies up and running, and enable these services to run automatically. It's not tested so far, I'll make real-life test a bit later, and will create a ZBXNEXT about including it into documentation. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis (Inactive) [ 2017 Jul 31 ] |
I think it is a great start! Good job! In my opinion it is good enough to go into main Zabbix documentation. Create a ZBX(NEXT), put your suggestions there and martins-v will find a place for it. |
Comment by Chris Gleason [ 2017 Jul 31 ] |
Just to clarify what Glebs is asking in this comment what I was looking for was the ability to specify two servers in the Server= field in the zabbix_proxy.conf file so I could send requests to a prod and staging server. Currently it just sends to the first server in the field. I can accomplish this by specifying multiple proxies at the agent level, but would like to keep my zabbix_agent.conf file clean and use the proxy to send to multiple servers if possible. |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2017 Aug 24 ] |

Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2017 Oct 30 ] |
I am not using proxy and not trying to use proxy for 2 servers, it seems I won't have time to properly test my predictions on how it should work and write a reproducible documentation on that. If someone need proxy to work with 2 servers, please write and test documentation on how to achieve that using my and Gleb's answers. |
Comment by Chris Gleason [ 2017 Oct 30 ] |
I can test this shortly. I need to upgrade our major zabbix version soon anyways, so I'll give it a whirl. |
Comment by Chris Gleason [ 2017 Nov 23 ] |

You should use 2 separate DBs of course. Agent it OK with having different active checks from different servers. |
Comment by Alex [ 2017 Dec 09 ] |
Hello everyone, what happen when our proxy will have 2 or more different db? For now we try use multi-proxy configuration for collect to master server in datacenter in europe region and reserve local server in US region. Every proxy instance collect from agents same items. If we start update major version without downtime, with updating db scheme, we start run 4 instance proxy and agents will send 4 times more identical data instead of once. The issue of deduplication must be considered. In my opinion simple diff between some fields tables with hosts and items should solve this issue and not cause great difficulties. For solve question different db name, db name must be same as server active name. |
Comment by Dmitry Verkhoturov [ 2017 Dec 11 ] |
Two zabbix-servers with same configuration in their DB will query same things from zabbix-agent and will get the same answer (in case they do the query at the same time). I propose to add zabbix-sender multi-server sending functionality in the upstream 4.0 version of Zabbix. |
Comment by Jarrett Heale [ 2018 Jul 30 ] |
This would be extremely useful for when you have multiple sites with local staff as well as an HQ site who also need to monitor all servers. HQ could make sure services at each site were up, and more importantly the local staff could maintain and montior their own servers and Zabbix (and most importantly receive alerts for failed servers/services) even if the link back to HQ was down. I've asked on the forum to find out if there's another way to do something similar in the meantime, but this enhancement would be the ideal way to configure it, at least in terms of firewall rules. |
Comment by Ron Van Dompseler [ 2018 Oct 05 ] |
We currently use this solution in our 2.4.8 environment where we have zabbix proxy installed on multiple SMARTS IP Gateways. Each server has 4 or 5 "virrtual zabbix proxies" configured for different interfaces on the servers and it works great. We are now in the process of doing a major reworking of our infrastructure to 4.0 and running it in parallel with the current environment in order to rework our design of 20+ separate instances down to one master instance with HA and DR. For this particular instance that utilizes the SMARTS GATEWAY for SNMP datacollection we are stuck with certain rules where clients are configure only to accept from specific IPs. Because we need to use the same IP's in our proxy.conf files (ports can be different) I believe I need to install the 4.0 zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 and create the virtual 4.0 proxies in the same way we did with the old ones. We installed the original from repo so I can't install the new one in the same location. I am not expert in having to compile from source to use a different location... not sure if that is even possible. I could probably just copy the binaries and conf files to a different location but I am not sure on what should be copied where and what would need to be changed in the service files etc.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated............. |

In a further step you could provide a window that shows the MIB and offers the possibility to select OID just by clicking on them or the checkbox next to the entry. Happy hacking! Greetings, |

Not sure how this should be implemented (a plugin or built-in), but it's a nice feature anyway. |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Mar 17 ] |
If I understand the idea behind media types correct they provide some kind of abstraction layer for messages. On action level they are as generic as possible (subject, body, type) and are individually specified on user level (recipient address, etc.). A communication relation for syslog at least consists of a syslog host and a message. I would welcome such kind of message gateway (and others) too. Of course, there are always the default work-arounds to fix this by defining a 'Custom script', or a 'Custom alert script'. These possibilities are important and have a reason to exist. The downside of theses are
I imagine something like 'Global scripts' what can be pre-defined only by Zabbix-Super-Admins and then be chosen as option within actions. /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts/logger_wrapper "{TRIGGER.NSEVERITY}" "{HOST.HOST1}, {TRIGGER.STATUS}: {TRIGGER.NAME}" If there would be a third operation type (beside 'Send message' and 'Remote commands') one could allow to choose between custom solutions like mentioned before and internal 'message gateways' like maybe syslog. For syslog it could be defined by a syslog host a string including macros supported in notifications and a sending host option. or kernel.hostname for sender host could be done internally |

This feature is even more important when you have link from host to host group - in this case it makes no sense to manually enter link label. |

We often use things like Checksums to check if a file changed, if a user was added, if firewalls were changed, etc.but these alerts/events only last for a single check cycle in most cases, i.e. as soon as the check is made again, such as hourly, the current checksum matches the last one and the alert goes away; sure we could use averages or more check to lengthen the time, but ideally there would be a way to leave the event on / active until we really acknowledge it (separate from the current ACK system). We often use / want such a thing over a night or weekend when or an extended period when we are working lots of alerts; if we are not careful, we'll miss these checks before they go away. This is not easy and not sure even how to do it, but would be very useful for the checks of changes like this, and even normal things like high CPU; the event/alert would latch on until we turned it off, making sure we never missed that the event happened; today they just all go away upon recovery. |

It would be very nice to be able to read /proc /sys values via the agent, actually any file, by row and field number. Something like: file.read(/proc/meminfo, 10, 2) to get line 10, field 2 of meminfo. This way we can get lots of stats the agent can't get, including memory, kernel, disk, etc. A more advanced version would include the ability to use a macro or key such as hda for things like /sys/block/$drive/queue or even add up using /sys/block/*/queue. Have to think more about how that could be used. For now we use a custom script to get this, but it would provide a powerful way to extend the agent. |

Comment by Steve mushero [ 2014 Sep 14 ] |
Note we'll be creating a module to do this for 2.2/2.4 if anyone interested as there are just too many things to get that are missed by the agent right now. |

Comment by richlv [ 2011 Jan 10 ] |
as noted by zabbix developer asaveljevs, that won't be a feasible solution - there are items that stop populating data, and it's a completely normal situation - for example, agent.ping, possibly some trapper items etc. moving to zbxnext & leaving open, maybe a feasible solution can be found in the future |

another problem example - used memory is calculated to be the same as the total if available is not retrieved... results in totally incorrect values being inserted in the db |
Comment by Fco. Javier Rial [ 2011 Feb 15 ] |
another one more: basically, our network traffic come in/out from several vlan.. so the aggregated traffic is a calculated item from several vlan.. if one of our vlan is down, calculated item fails and so, zabbix inserts a zero in network traffic.. |

Steps to reproduce:
Result: Using the Debug mode see that the problem event generated by the disabled trigger is still listed in the array returned by problem.get API. Set the trigger back to enabled and see it returns to Problem page (expected). Expected:
While this is not such a big deal on "normal" daily use, there can be edge cases where this makes the web interface almost unusable. One such happened during a performance test with many triggers having multiple event generation mode on. It is understandable that displaying all those problems generate load but it exhausts all the PHP memory limit even after the items were disabled. The problem events are removed only after the items / triggers are deleted (or unlinked from hosts). |

Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |

Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |
So you think this is a cool feature instead of a performance bug? |
Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |
Well... I think it works "as designed". If we think, that the design can be better, that's a feature request... in my opinion. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |
Then is it a good design to return in the background lots of data which is not even displayed by the web interface in any way? |
Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |
Not to get into discussion about good or bad design, but as most designs - it can be improved. I'm not sure I'm right, maybe there where reasons I'm not aware of, why it was created as is. So I see it as a design that works, but can/should be improved. A bug in my opinion is something that doesn't work as designed. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Oct 23 ] |
From such perspective we can treat any bug reports as feature requests because regardless of the problem Zabbix as such is working, isn't it? I can clearly imagine that no one ever thought about this particular problem for a second before it was designed and implemented. On one hand Zabbix is putting serious efforts to improve the performance on large scale. Take Were you actually able to reproduce it? |
Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2018 Oct 23 ] |
Hello Ingus, thanks for the valuable opinion, you might be right. But I'm not the person to make the decision, but I will forward this ticket, so that appropriate decision can be made. Maybe it will be moved back to ZBX. Yes, I was able to reproduce the error, it's easy on a host with one trigger. |
Comment by Ingus Vilnis [ 2018 Oct 23 ] |
Thank you very much! With one trigger it is not a big problem, I agree there, but when there are thousands of triggers in mixed order on multiple hosts then the slowdown is significant. |
Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2018 Oct 23 ] |
Thanks to aleksejs.petrovs, who pointed out that api output should match that what you see in frontend, so moving this back to bugs and marking as confirmed. Sorry for the confusion. |
Comment by Valdis Murzins [ 2019 Mar 28 ] |
While I can understand the confusion, that problem.get is returning more problems, than displayed, in Problem list it was done on purpose.
What is requested by this task, is to add "monitored" filter for event.get and problem.get. With this, I have strong grounds to doubt that this change will be beneficial to the performance of Problem list page. Also I will insist, that this is Feature request and not a bug, because
I am not closing the task, as proper performance comparison still can be done. vmurzins EDIT: It can be considered as feature request to add API parameter, that will be used only by users. (Zabbix frontend has no need for such parameter). |
Comment by richlv [ 2019 Apr 18 ] |
Looks like moving to bugs was not successful, still a ZBXNEXT. |
Comment by Egor [ 2024 Feb 20 ] |
Hello colleagues. This is NOT just "Preaty to have" feature. This is real fail of design. One of Zabbix development direction - service based monitoring. Am I correct? A lot of changes was made for this and we are using this structure for more than 300 service trees. Problem described here is one of the most critical issue: You have service tree with more than 50 services, 300 hosts and 5000 triggers. You need add one more host - you can't predict that triggers will not generate problems. Problem generated by template trigger -> Service status changed. You have no way to change service status back! You can't change template because a lot of hosts use this template. You can not delete trigger or item because problem will not disapper. You can not delete host - problem will not desappear also plus this will be impossible to resolve this problem at all. Only via database request. Only one option - allow manual close from template -> manual close -> fast disable trigger before item will data. Is this really "Target design"?
This problem exist in 7.0.0 unfortunatelly.
|
Comment by Egor [ 2024 Feb 20 ] |
If you are using "service oriented" monitoring and accidentally deleted host (operator mistake for example) - nightmare for big and 24/7 environments. only delete FROM events where eventid = ''; Same request here https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-21994?jql=reporter%20%3D%20%22Egor%20T.%22

Description |
If you enable the value mapping for an item this is visible in the overview. When the same item is graphed (by default as the actual value is a number), the mapped value is not visible in the graph. This means that you have no clue which the specific value means. For example I'm monitoring heartbeat machines which have a status active or passive. These values are stored as 0 and 1 and mapped to standby and active. On the overview page this is visible, but the graph only shows 0 and 1 and no direct link to which theses values mean. |

Comment by Josip Sokolovic [ 2021 Nov 16 ] |
What could make sense is the possibility to add a legend on the bottom of the graphs with the mapped values. Just to explain why that could be useful. We started in our company to monitor 8000 nodes (increasing daily). Some of these graphs are showing a status for the registration status from a FOS towards a Fortimanager. The status are containing these mapped values are: Tunnel Status: Registration Status: From the perspective of an ops enginieer who doesn't know what the meaning of these values is and also is not that familiar in the usage of Zabbix, that would be a great help to understand, what's ongoing in case of, if the FOS has an issue with the registration status. Or... Just displaying the mapped value of the last value in brackets: e.g. 1 (IN_PROGRES) and 1 (HANDSHAKE) if the items are combined in one graph. If an ops engineer would see... "Ah OK. The value 1 means the device is handshaking towards the Fortimanager, but in the past the value was alternating between 0 an 2. I mus figure out what's the meaning of 0 and 2. Let's discover that!" |
Comment by Sub2.13 [ 2023 Apr 20 ] |
hello @Alexei Vladishev, in order to improve the graph visualization, could it plan to be added in a sprint for a future release? A patch has been proposed a long time ago. Even if it requires a refresh for sure I guess, it could be a good start |

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. |
Comment by Marc [ 2012 Dec 15 ] |
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 |
Comment by Mark Postma [ 2020 Jan 02 ] |
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. |
Comment by Adam Dempsey [ 2021 Oct 19 ] |
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. |
Comment by David Tomkins [ 2022 May 12 ] |
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 ! |
Comment by Rafael S. Santos [ 2023 Dec 27 ] |
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

I suppose if turned off on proxy the pre-processing should happen on server. |
Comment by dimir [ 2024 Feb 15 ] |
This could work like this. The values are sent with a new "preprocessed" flag with possible values yes/no. Yes, this means a change in communication protocol. In the frontend, proxy configuration there will be a "checkbox" showing where should the preprocessing be taking place: server or proxy. Normal operationWhen a proxy or server needs to decide if it should preprocess the collected value or not it follows the logic: Proxy:
Server:
As you can see server does not even care about the "checkbox" state. When the "switch" is toggledThis is a tricky case and there might be a situation when a party (server or proxy) needs to preprocess but hasn't the preprocessing rules in cache yet. Proxy:
Server:
For server, optionally it could pick up the missing preprocessing rules from the database on demand. This way, even if proxy "forgot" to do it (because of the recent switch) server will perform the job for it. The downside is that this is too much work with potential problems (quoting wiper). And to me, with little benefit. I believe there is a very rare case when someone starts toggling the switch in a production environment and if still this is the case it is expected to have a couple of unpreprocessed values. We can document this "side effect" of "switching" and user can survive with 1 or 2 unpreprocessed values (rather possible 1, thinking of "instant" config sync in 7.0). To be decided for server: pick up not cached yet tasks on demand or leave values unpreprocessed |

Comment by Mattias Geniar [ 2012 Dec 30 ] |
NMR = Needs More Research Since the current work-around to get the graphs involves faking a POST form submit to the frontpage and re-using that sessionID to get the graph itself is pretty annoying, a simple PNG return of the image would be much welcomed as an API request. |

Comment by Linus Brimstedt [ 2014 Sep 24 ] |
The point of implementing in this in the API rather than accessing the php-pages is that the API is a stable and documented interface. The chart2.php is an internal implementation that should not be used by external resources. |

@Alexander: Your solution is based on the old graphs or for the new vector graphs? |
Comment by Alexander Nesterov [ 2019 Feb 04 ] |
for the old (classic) graphs |
Comment by Dimitri Bellini [ 2019 Feb 04 ] |
@Alexander: Ok Thanks @ZabbixTeam: I will suggest to bring this improvement (RestAPI for Graphs) as soon as possible with the new Vector Graphs thanks |
Comment by Alexander Nesterov [ 2019 Feb 04 ] |
@Dimitri: You can also use http request, I think so |
Comment by Dimitri Bellini [ 2019 Feb 05 ] |
@Alexander: Yes! We have create a simple reporting tool for Zabbix and at the monent is based with the old graphs style... |
Comment by Mark Oudsen [ 2021 Mar 03 ] |
As this request is running for a very long time, I've decided to code and release a beta version of a Media type that is capable of presenting a graph embedded in an e-mail message while adding TWIG template facilities to allow for some nice customization of the outgoing message (including IF statements for example) and adding some smart way finding the direct or indirectly associated graphs to a trigger (from API perspective). Note that Chart2 only has the capability to present 'Normal' graphs - I'm also working to support the other types as well (scattered across the other chartX.php). Have a look at: https://github.com/moudsen/mailGraph Once the API extension is there, my code will be fully API based (currently logging in to Zabbix to use chartX.php with CURL). Official request to Zabbix developers to add my Media type to their repository: |

Hi, Or when it will be natively added? |

Description |
Currently dependencies are trigger based. Would be very useful to have them host based, so when an server is unavailable because the network connection went down, Zabbix can easily determine that the server's behind the firewall are unavailable and not require dependencies on each individual trigger . So a host would be dependent on a server of another device for all the services on it. |

Push after 1 year for this important feature. |
Comment by Cal Sawyer [ 2010 Nov 18 ] |
Yes! It would also be super-useful to be able to templatise host dependencies for a site/installtion, possibly by adding host-type/function descriptors, so that a topology of dependencies could be applied to groups of hosts. You could then definesomething like "webserver depends on edge switch depends on router" for multiple sites or like topologies. |
Comment by Manpreet Singh [ 2011 Jul 14 ] |
Coming from using Nagios this is a feature that is sorely missed and would greatly simplify dependencies. |

Any progress? |
Comment by Maxim Krušina [ 2013 Sep 13 ] |
+1 very important! At least, some GUI to mass updates trigger dependencies per host, not per trigger. But when managing larger deplayments, per-trigger dependencies are so complicated and overhelming. |
Comment by Uli Stärk [ 2014 Apr 01 ] |
Hey, as I can imagine, that programming host dependencies is quiet a big deal, I just had the following idea: Why not implement host-based dependencies as maintenance times? if(trigger_flagged_for_host_is_down) { } This could work out-of-the-box |
Comment by Bjorn K [ 2014 Apr 26 ] |
If this feauture would be implemented then it can truely scale. |
Comment by Larry [ 2014 Jun 03 ] |
This is the key feature that has kept me for a number of years from implementing Zabbix and really seems to be the only system I have run into not supporting this. Will keep checking back every 6-12 months for it to be added as I have been. |
Comment by Brais Formoso [ 2014 Jun 04 ] |
I dont know why do you refuse to develop this feature. I think its very simple and useful. Doesn't seem to be hard to include it. Its just the same feature that the one about triggers but host-related. |
Comment by Filipe Paternot [ 2014 Jun 04 ] |
This done along with |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Jun 19 ] |
For simplicity and efficiency reasons I'd prefer to improve the existing trigger based dependencies. On host/template level one may add a dependency from a trigger (or multiple triggers, of course). This trigger is then implicitly added to all the other host/template triggers as dependency.
|
Comment by Brett Anspach [ 2014 Aug 09 ] |
This is a huge hole in the Zabbix feature set. It's sad to see this request will be 5 years old tomorrow. |
Comment by John Miezitis [ 2014 Aug 15 ] |
Unfortunately without this feature Zabbix is not practical for monitoring a medium to large network. Was hoping to get our networks team to move across to Zabbix but we will have to continue to maintain Nagios for them To keep it simple would it be better to build dependencies using the IT Services hierarchy and only notify for the parent service rather than all the children. |
Comment by Pawel Pogoda [ 2014 Oct 23 ] |
+1! |
Comment by Juan Fontes [ 2014 Oct 30 ] |
+1! I need host dependency like a nagios. |
Comment by Alban Hoop [ 2014 Nov 30 ] |
We have been using zabbix for years despite this shortcoming. We are happy with the product, but this is a problem that needs to be addressed. We use alot of proxies and have customers with complex networks. At the moment when a router or internet connection is offline we get hundreds of alarms. |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Nov 30 ] |
Well, there is still the option of (co-) sponsoring the development |
Comment by Larry [ 2014 Dec 01 ] |
Excellent suggestion Marc, did not realize this was an option. I have contacted them to see what the cost might be for this. Once determined let's get it over here and hopefully we can all contribute to this missing critical feature. Once Zabbix has this, will be our choice going forward. Thanks! |
Comment by Brett Anspach [ 2014 Dec 01 ] |
Larry - reply to the thread if you decide to contact them to do the custom development. My company may want to help co-sponsor the development of this feature, as well. |
Comment by Marco Janse [ 2014 Dec 02 ] |
I hope more people will vote for this feature request. It would make my life so much easier! Hopefully it will see the light in the next major release. |
Comment by Justin McNutt [ 2014 Dec 15 ] |
If I could vote against this feature, I would do so. There is no "host dependency" because there is no difference between a "host" being down and a trigger on that host being in a PROBLEM state. The only thing you have to do to implement "host dependencies" in the existing system is to establish how you decide a system is "down" (rather than in a degraded or mildly non-optimal state). If you decide that it's "down" because one of its interfaces doesn't respond to ICMP echo (ping), then create a template that has just the ping test in it and create a trigger on that ping test to be in a PROBLEM state when ping doesn't respond. (Remember that by default, the "simple check" ping test in Zabbix returns "OK" if ANY of THREE ping tests comes back okay.) Then you have a template you can apply to any host that you want as a dependency for other hosts. All hosts with this template have a common trigger name, for ease of deployment. Essentially, there is no "host dependency" because there is no "host test" to tell if a host is up. You can't get around having an item and a trigger to tell you if the host is up, which is host Zabbix is already built. I am using Zabbix to monitor a network with a couple hundred nodes (does that count as "medium to large"?) without any trouble. I don't see the issue here. |
Comment by Ryan Armstrong [ 2014 Dec 17 ] |
I agree with you Justin. The Host based dependencies in Nagios for example require that you specify an individual "check" to determine if a host is up which pretty much mimics the design you noted above. We have a Ping template in Zabbix with a single threshold looking for 100% packet loss. This is applied to all hosts and we have a script that maps out all of the trigger dependencies from our CMDB. This works exceptionally well for us (except for |
Comment by Larry [ 2014 Dec 17 ] |
This issue/problem is Ryan's comment "This is applied to all hosts and we have a script that maps out all of the trigger dependencies from our CMDB." I am not saying this cannot be manually emulated, but when you have 1000's (10's of thousands) of checks and need to map that as a dependency for each one it is either a very painful manual process or you need to create scripts that somehow "know" how to map dependencies from one device to the other. Creating a host (parent / child is really what we need) dependency and then saying if parent is not up (or better parents if this device has multiple upstream paths) don't bother with other checks and cascade this down significantly simplifies the setup and stops the alert storms pretty easily. |
Comment by Nick Bold [ 2014 Dec 17 ] |
I agree with both sides of the coin with this. Although, when doing this stuff at a large-scale there is definitely a need for both. I agree with Volker Fröhlich's views. There needs to be more of a focus on multiple correlation aspects (either be by topology, host, trigger, etc). This definitely becomes a factor when having to perform this across a large number of devices. Especially when performing this for neighbouring devices in a large network. These enhancements would help alleviate or make these tasks easier to maintain: "Give an indication/allow to browse through dependent triggers" "Provide an API option to obtain dependent triggers for trigger.get()" "Notify dependent triggers with an indication of the root problem plus dynamic dependency maps" Volker presented an interesting and insightful talk (Zabbix 2012 conference) on this approach for the above enhancement: Large toolsets often go down the parent/child elements route in a large topology where there is correlation done between child being linked to parent. Where there is also the ability to define specific conditions/rulesets (if required - to allow for exceptions to the rule). As a result of being linked to parent, child is treated as a symptom rather than the 'cause' as it is only a neighbour. The root of the problem has been identified to be further upstream in the chain. In this case from the point that is closest to the Zabbix server. This would be a dynamically populated topology based on device discovery. This approach would allow for more accurate dependency rules being able to be defined. |
Comment by Gustavo Moura de Sousa [ 2015 Jan 08 ] |
It would be nice if we schedule a maintenance of a host, zabbix couldn't inform alerts of the hosts that depends on the selected host. |
Comment by Gustavo Moura de Sousa [ 2015 Aug 20 ] |
Any news about this feature request? |
Comment by Gustavo Moura de Sousa [ 2015 Aug 20 ] |
If it was possible to set with a checkbox a trigger that is the root trigger os a host things would be simpler. |
Comment by Marc [ 2015 Aug 20 ] |
It seems not to be on the roadmap yet. Maybe see my comment for one way to get it there |
Comment by kyob [ 2016 Mar 14 ] |
Any progress on that BASIC feature? |
Comment by Doug [ 2016 Mar 20 ] |
Another Vote for host dependencies. Yes there are labor intensive work arounds, but this is a standard feature in nearly all monitoring tools and a glaring omission in this one. |
Comment by Nuno Pereira [ 2016 Apr 08 ] |
This is the 4th top voted feature, has been here for 6 and a half years and hadn't any attention from zabbix developers? To be honest, the 6 top voted features aren't assigned to any developer... We come from nagios (several years ago, already) and this is one of the basic (as kyob noted) features that we miss. The flexible trigger based dependencies is valid, but you don't have a simple way to say "if the router (or switch) is down then don't notify me about every host behind it" or "if the Xen server is down then don't notify me about every virtual host in there". Yes, we may not have a good approach that fixes this issue (like Justin said in comment-131309), but it would just be a work around on the problem that the product (zabbix) has. |
Comment by Maas Salem [ 2016 Apr 16 ] |
This is really a Shame, I am at the point to review POC setup to our Cloud structure and this was the question from our Application and network team. the basic need or host / Application dependencies. If this is not a major feature, - at least a work around will be great. Thanks |
Comment by richlv [ 2016 Apr 16 ] |
for everybody who is interested in this, please discuss it on IRC and other channels, mentioned in http://zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help - it is quite possible that somebody there will suggest how to use trigger dependencies to solve your usecase |
Comment by Kevin Daudt [ 2016 Jul 25 ] |
Trigger dependencies solve this problem for us pretty good now. The only issue we're still having is that some hosts have multiple uplinks. When only one of the uplinks is down, it should still be a problem when the host is not reachable. In the current system, if any of the dependencies has a problem, the trigger is ignored. I was wondering if a patch implementing something like ZBXNEXT-1547 would be accepted. On the server side, the biggest change would be in DCconfig_check_trigger_dependencies_rec, to make it continue when the 'operator' is AND (this part, I already have). On the frontend, the change is slightly bigger, because the current code that checks if a dependency has a problem does not work recursively, making it harder to implement this. It would then look something like this: https://ikke.info/i/zabbix_dependency_1.png Would a change like this be accepted if I would provide the patches? Thanks. |

Hi, Kevin! |
Comment by Marc [ 2016 Nov 02 ] |
Just wondering whether event tags resp. event correlation could help here too. Regarding Zabbix proxy dependencies I could think of a scenario like the following one. Obviously this would require the Macro {PROXY.NAME} to be resolved in tag values and a new condition type Event tag value pair. Event tags of a Trigger representing a Zabbix proxy availabilityProxy Event tag of every other TriggerProxy name = {PROXY.NAME<1-9>} Global event correlation ruleConditionOld event tag = Proxy OperationClose new event |
Comment by Andreas Lunz [ 2017 May 23 ] |
The last comment works, but there is the problem if you have any other problems behind the problem you always get one alert. Depending on what you want to do it is maybe not useful to do it that way. You have maybe not an eye on all problems in your infrastructure. |
Comment by Marcos de Oliveira [ 2017 Jun 12 ] |
In two months, this request will be 8 years old. It is the third most voted feature request also. Is it that hard to implement? We are using Zabbix for a year with no problem for our servers, but once we started migrating our switches, routers and APs from Nagios, it became such a pain to maintain dependencies. We are not that huge, but we have like 300 of them, and chains of up to 15 devices... It would be so good to just flag the parent to make a host dependent on. There is another uses for this feature also. For example, some times we have problems with a port in a switch that makes another switch down. With Nagios, we clicked in the down host, then we already could see the parent, and connect to it, see if there is a problem with the parent, or its ports, and fix it faster. |
Comment by Marc [ 2017 Jun 12 ] |
markkrj, the point is, there is not the one and only valid design thinkable. This feature could be implemented in many respects with possibly slight but significant differences regarding the use case. However, the best is probably (co-)sponsoring development to at least finance the assessment and an appropriate design proposal. Who knows, possibly this has already been done and the plan lays in a drawer waiting for the little left gap to be sponsored... Consider to get in touch with sales at zabbix dot com and ask for the status/sponsoring of this feature. Doing so doesn't cost a thing |
Comment by Stephan Koch [ 2017 Sep 15 ] |
I inquired about co-sponsoring this feature on August 14th. So far no reply, I just sent a reminder and will keep you updated on further developments... |
Comment by Stephan Koch [ 2017 Sep 30 ] |
Got an answer from Zabbix sales team. They are looking for other sponsors now and are ready to ship this feature with Zabbix 4.0 once development costs are covered. Please feel free to contribute if you need this feature |
Comment by Larry [ 2017 Sep 30 ] |
We needed this feature 3 years ago unfortunately and have moved on (NetXMS) and have been pleased with what it can do for us. There are still a number of parts to Zabbix that are really nice though. Good luck with getting this implemented it is a huge hole in the product. |
Comment by Mehmet Ali Buyukkarakas [ 2018 Jan 10 ] |
My only wish from the new year. |
Comment by Timothy Welch [ 2018 Feb 12 ] |
I had an idea on how to work-around this for now... After yet another weekend of our firewall going down, causing our site-to-site VPN tunnel to production to go down... Which fired off a consistent stream of 10,000 pages to my phone. The idea is this:
Also note, I presently don't have time to implement this as we are working on other projects. I wanted to share the idea in case you all thought it might be feasible. If I get around to it, I'll let you know how it works out. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2018 Feb 13 ] |
If there is any chance you can read german, there is a wiki page which describes exactly this method: I really dislike this solution, but it solves a problem, we shouldn't have to solve. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2018 Oct 05 ] |
I contacted sales at zabbix dot com three times since January about (co-)sponsoring this feature request. As it's one of the biggest features we are missing. I always got the answer, that they need more time to focus on 4.0 so I had no chance yet to get numbers or offer money. I agree with all of you, that trigger dependencies could solve most of the issues, but I think that would require too much work in many of the cases. I especially liked the example with a hypervisor going down, and all ICMP + Zabbix Agents checks would fail for the virtual machines. Because this would be like a real host dependency. (This special example would also include, that the Zabbix VMware Template feature of Host prototypes would have to work with an upcoming Host dependency feature!) There are many ways this could be implemented, there could also be a second feature I would call Proxy dependency, as we all know that sometimes a Zabbix Proxy is unavailable and all Zabbix Agents behind that host would fire an event due to the nodata Trigger. But on to the good news: Since the release of 4.0 our feature request is on the roadmap for 4.2: |

Comment by Ben Carter [ 2020 Sep 02 ] |
Given this was on the roadmap for 5.0 but didn't make it, is it likely to be 5.2? |
Comment by tbsky [ 2020 Sep 15 ] |
I understand 5.2 or 5.4 is too early for the feature. but hope it can be made for 6.0. since it was on the roadmap of 5.0, I think it is reasonable to put it to 6.0 roadmap.

Comment by Lyle Dodge [ 2020 Sep 16 ] |
This feature was requested while Zabbix was in 1.6, now 11 years on and it continues to be ignored. |
Comment by Alex King [ 2020 Oct 23 ] |
While I agree this would be a really nice and should have feature, this thread gave me an idea on how i might solve this for myself until/if this host dependency ever gets added.
FWIW i haven't tested this idea, just had it after reading the zbxnext and some other related stuff. it may not be possible to use `macroname == macrovalue in triggers`, not sure. may have to use tags, or put the macro results in lld description for the host, and have the trigger to regex on the description. requires testing. |
Comment by Joachim Vertommen [ 2020 Oct 23 ] |
The way we have solved this for our network monitoring is by using tags to do trigger-based event correlation.
The overall result of this is that all “Host_X: BGP peer to host_A Down” alarms are resolved by the correlation rules. |
Comment by SI Secure4All [ 2021 May 12 ] |
Hello, It's really unfortunate that such a simple and requested feature does not exist in a world-renowned monitoring system like ZABBIX. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2021 May 12 ] |
After all this years, and the implementation of To realize host dependencies, Zabbix would have to know, what this dependency means. For example: We have a switch and 5 Hosts. Switch monitored by SNMP+ICMP. Windows Hosts by Zabbix Agent and ICMP. The Switch Host object consists of several Triggers, let's name two as an example: ICMP ping check failed and Firmware update available. If the Firmware update Trigger fires, the Windows hosts wouldn't be affected and everything still runs smooth. Which in conclusion means, you don't want the ICMP and Zabbix agent nodata Trigger fire, when the ICMP check on the switch fails aka Trigger dependencies. just my 2 cents: The longer I work with Zabbix, the less I have use for this feature request. In any use case I had in the past, I was able to solve it more elegant with the features I already have. |
Comment by SI Secure4All [ 2021 May 12 ] |
I just thought of a very simple way to implement it. Currently, when I have a network outage, Zabbix has queues, and goes up in load, I can't find a solution to put a dependency that the link falls and cut all SNMP icmp checks etc... |
Comment by Nicola Mauri [ 2022 Mar 31 ] |
Things are just getting worse with 6.0, which drops the ability to modify dependencies on template-inherited triggers. At the moment, if you have 100 hosts behind a router there is no way in Zabbix to avoid 100 useless and misleading alerts when the router goes down. Very, very bad. |
Comment by Dimitri Bellini [ 2022 Apr 21 ] |
@Zabbix DevTeam there are some plane for Zabbix 6.2 or 6.4 for a possible way-out of these kind of behaviours? I think on Kubernetes/VMWare (Dynamic Environment) the problem will be emphasized. |
Comment by Mateusz Pelpliński [ 2022 Sep 13 ] |
Please add host dependencies or at least give us back the feature to change dependency on template-inherited triggers. Lack of this solution is really hurting Zabbix scalability. |
Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2022 Sep 13 ] |
Do you mean the bug that was fixed in 6.0.5? |
Comment by Craig Hopkins [ 2022 Sep 13 ] |
Not quite. That's only controlling a single trigger, and there could be thousands on a host (worse if they're dynamically discovered). What I'm wanting (and what I think others are talking about, too) is the ability to completely suspend the checks for a host based on a condition (i.e. the ICMP of an upstream device failing). When an upstream device fails, zabbix then has lots of downstream devices sat in the unreachable queue... or worse they all alert with all of their triggers because they have timed out. This causes unneeded work on all sides. Suspending those items/triggers would reduce the workload. |
Comment by Mateusz Pelpliński [ 2022 Sep 14 ] |
@Marco, yes, that helps me, thanks! *-not an actual bug, as I understand from the thread |
Comment by Adrian Garcia Flores [ 2023 May 23 ] |
Please we need this feature. |
Comment by Bjoern Wentz [ 2023 Aug 22 ] |
+1 Much needed feature! We have many locations with multiple hosts. I don´t want to edit every trigger on every host to define a dependency to the availabilty of the appropriate router. I also don´t want to create multiple templates for each location (e.g. Windows by Zabbix Agent for location A depends on router A, Windows by Zabbix Agent location B depends on router B,...) just to be able to set different trigger dependencies per location. Thats way to much work and takes away flexibility in changing something in the template that should have affect to all hosts. It would be much easier to set the dependency per host or even better per host group (e.g. Servers/LocationA depending on host RouterA). |
Comment by Nicola Mauri [ 2023 Aug 26 ] |
As a workaround, you may consider Global event correlation, as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTsGAj_BLhs by Aigars Kadikis, which shows a topology-related scenario. If you never used event correlation before, please note that it will take a while to understand and setup it, but it can be a viable - though not perfect - solution. |

Opening an event lists associated ticket (incident) number (clicking it opens the incident in Remedy), status and creation date. See the attached screenshot fragment. |

Description |
According to documentation:
It is good practice; however, there is a problem if trigger has option "Multiple PROBLEM events generation" turned ON. In this case there is a possibility that the timer process could generate "trigger goes to the PROBLEM state" event every 30 second (when all conditions are TRUE, even in the case when no new datas arrived). My suggestion is the following: all trigger calculations performed by the timer process should be made as the "Multiple PROBLEM events generation" option is OFF, independently of its real setting. In other words: if all conditions are TRUE and the trigger is already in the PROBLEM state, the new event should not be generated. At the same time, if some of conditions becomes FALSE and trigger was in PROBLEM state, it should be closed (i.e. event "trigger goes to the OK state" must be generated). The combination of timer-related trigger functions and "Multiple PROBLEM events generation" option is not very widespread. However, when this combination is used, it causes to difficult-to-understanding problems. The most typical problem - double or multiple alerts (some exapmles: ZBX-8114, ZBX-4732, ZBX-6170). |

Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2014 Sep 09 ] |
Example 1: Using "nodata()" function to close trigger automatically by time-outTaskIt is necessary to have a trigger for Windows Application Log: if a new message with the severity "Error" or "Critical" appeared, it should be forwarded the administrator by e-mail with a delay maximum 1 minute. Item (in the appropriate Template)Key: eventlog[Application,,Error|Critical",,,100,] (Trigger in the same Template)Name: New error message in Windows Application log ({Template OS Windows:eventlog[Application,,"Error|Critical",,,100,].logseverity(0)}=4 | {Template OS Windows:eventlog[Application,,"Error|Critical",,,100,].logseverity(0)}=9 ) & {Template OS Windows:eventlog[Application,,"Error|Critical",,,100,].nodata(30)}#1 Multiple PROBLEM events generation: ON ActionAction has the following logic: ResultsIf several error messages appeared in the given interval (30 seconds), then all messages are delivered successfully. However, the last message is delivered twice: the 1-st time upon new datas receiving from the Agent, and the 2-nd time - generated by the timer process. If the timeout for nodata() function is longer, then the last message is repeated every 30 seconds: for example, for 10 minutes (to have possibility for operator to see it on the Web-console) it repeates 21 times. |
Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2014 Sep 09 ] |
The first and second item references in your trigger seem to be identical. You might wish to simplify that. |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2014 Sep 09 ] |
asaveljevs, thank you! I've fixed this example (logseverity are different: ERROR and CRITICAL). Example 2: using "time()" function as an additional condition clauseInitial TaskIt is necessary to monitor a log.file of some application for error messages (lines containing "ERROR" string) for notification of the appropriate administrator. Itemlog[/var/log/myApp/myApp.log,ERROR,,,skip,] Trigger{Host:log[/var/log/myApp/myApp.log,ERROR,,,skip,].str(ERROR)}=1 As in example 1, the "Multiple PROBLEM events generation" should be enabled to avoid missing of some messages. ResultIt works OK. However, every night (between midnight and 02:00) the database performs an offline backup, it cause to some error messages in the log that could be ignored. Modified TaskIt is necessary to monitor this log.file for error messages only after 02:00 AM. Modified Trigger{Host:log[/var/log/myApp/myApp.log,ERROR,,,skip,].str(ERROR)}=1 & {Host:log[/var/log/myApp/myApp.log,ERROR,,,skip,].time(0)}>020000 ResultDespite of minimal changes, the result will very differ. If some error occurs in this log file after 02:00 AM, then the event "Trigger goes to PROBLEM state" will be generated every 30 seconds by the timer process; in this example - the rest of day up to midnight... |
Comment by Oleg Ivanivskyi [ 2014 Sep 10 ] |
Looks like a regex to find A and not B on a line could be a workaround in the example 2. Of course, it will not help in the first example. |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2015 Jan 26 ] |
I agree that in some cases it's possible. If the monitored log file includes the clearly formatted timestamp, for example log of Zabbix-server: 7294:20141227:100121.813 SNMP agent item "ifNumber" on host "CiscoV-SW1" failed: first network error, wait for 15 seconds then a trigger expression could be re-formulated to use a regexp() instead of time() function, something like the following: {Host:log[/tmp/zabbix_server.log,error,,,skip,].str(error)}=1 & {Host:log[/tmp/zabbix_server.log,error,,,skip,].regexp([0-9]*:[0-9]{8}:0[01][0-9]{4}\.[0-9]{3})}#1 I.e. "if the timestamp in this record of log file has the hour==00 or hour==01, then ignore". However, in other cases it is difficult or impossible to use just regexp. For example, in the Windows Event logs the timestamp is a separate field; many Java applications have a multi-line error messages (where the timestamp and the message text are on different lines), some applications could have their timestamps in the same format that could occurs in the message text also, etc. After all, using the time() function is just more understandable. |

Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2022 Jun 02 ] |
Reminder: this problem is still actual. |
Comment by Marcel Renner [ 2022 Jul 13 ] |
+1 Voted as well! For example, we would simply like to have the successful and failed logins (from each login) as a separate info event in Zabbix. Therefore only multiple event generation is practicable to not miss any events. But the event should close automatically after X minutes. Due to the mentioned issue this can't be implemented, which makes eventlog, log, logrt and snmptrap quite useless (at least for simple info events that don't send a resolved notification). With this workaround there is probably a way, but Zabbix should offer something more user friendly. FYI, 6.2.x is still affected. |

constantin.oshmyan attached both for 6.4 and 7.0, the fix is as per your request in description. |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2023 Oct 11 ] |
vso, great, thanks! Can this patch be applied also to the v6.0 (the current LTS version)? |
Comment by dimir [ 2023 Oct 11 ] |
It's only a quick research thing to try out, if you have a chance. For a proper thing this needs to be code-reviewed, tested, documented and so on. Another thing that needs to be considered here is a possible regression for those that need an every 30-second alarm. Maybe a checkbox should be added. Anyway, we wanted to quickly check how complicated the fix might be here and if you can try this maybe become aware of some possible side effects/regressions early. |
Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2023 Oct 11 ] |
constantin.oshmyan sure, added patch for 6.0 ZBXNEXT-2452-6.0.diff. It is safe to use unless as dimir mentioned someone will need also old behaviour for some triggers. |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2023 Oct 11 ] |
Thank you, guys! |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2023 Oct 20 ] |
vso, dimir I've tried this patch in the test environment with the current v6.0.22 release; it works great!
Yes, I understand your doubts. |
Comment by dimir [ 2023 Oct 21 ] |
Thanks constantin.oshmyan! What you're saying makes sense. We'll discuss it internally and let you know. |
Comment by Constantin Oshmyan [ 2024 Mar 26 ] |
dimir, what are the results of these discussions? Are there any chances this feature could be implemented in the v7.0 (nearest LTS version), or will it be postponed for a few more years? |

Description |
Global expression combines multiple regexps using an AND operator, while in some cases ability to use OR would be required too. For example I use a "white list" (like - "good1|good2|goodNNN...") in the global expression and it's really long, so does not fit to the 255 chars limitation. Maybe the same approach, as used for actions and lld rule filters (including custom expression), could be implemented ? |

Comment by Simon Kowallik [ 2012 Mar 09 ] |
Hi, I have the same problem. I'm trying to graph CPU Usage per Core through SNMP. I use SNMP LLD to get the dynamic count of the CPUs and have Item prototypes for "System Time", "User Time" and "Overall Usage". This is pretty important for LLD graphing I would say. br, |
Comment by Peter van der Kooi [ 2012 Jul 06 ] |
Aggregate graphing of LLD discovered items seems impossible (using Zabbix 2.0.0rc2), but when done manually the graph doesnot show: I think it exceeds the number of items. In my case this is a large number ( > 128 physical ports and over 40 logical ports on a Cisco Core switch). If this feature is implemented it will fail on graphs with large number of items. Also the query time and graph-generation will take up to much time: I have a screen with 8 graphs. 2 graphs (incoming/outgoing octect) for every stack within the switch (4). Each graphs has an avg op 24 ports. And by the time the last graph is displayed....refresh A possible solution is by making 'aggregated' values from LLD-items WITHIN a host (preferrably with an regexp). And make that aggregated item available for graphing. grt, |

Comment by richlv [ 2013 Jul 04 ] |
this is currently not on the roadmap, and it can not go in 2.0.7 (amount of features going in 2.0 is very limited, and there would not be enough time to put this in 2.0.7 anyway) |
Comment by yayo [ 2013 Jul 05 ] |
sorry, insist But LLD is one of the beautiful enterprise feature that zabbix have. All people that manage zabbix in company can have several benefits from LLD but, when i need to create some "complex" graph to show to my boss (that pay for zabbix support) if i say that i can't do a graph because we can't mix neither LLD items from others discovery rules nor fixed items, I don't know what he says LLD is incomplete (for only this limitation) and not usable in enterprise environment ... so, if you want don't add this feature in 2.0 but add this feature in the 2.2 roadmap ... my 2 cents |
Comment by Gareth Brown [ 2014 Jan 20 ] |
What is the likelyhood of this expanding to allowing LLD graphs for the same item across multiple hosts in a hostgroup? Would this need to be a new feature request? Currently if this is done, the graph is then copied to each host rather than remaining on a template which isn't such a big problem but as soon as you bring cloud computing in, it fails miserably when new instances spin up and old ones terminate. |
Comment by Nicola V [ 2014 Jun 17 ] |
Upvoted for this feature. |
Comment by Christian Reizlein [ 2014 Sep 19 ] |
Upvoted, i have a LLD rule that graphs about 60 NFS and create a percentage (pused) of each, but i also need to display a single graph with all items so i can have a quick look at which one is using >80% for instance, and the trends right now i ended up adding the 60 different NFS as plain items... |

It is very useful feature, because when we trying to find defective disk in many disks, it is easy to find it in one global graph, than in many separate graphs. I voted also for this feature. Here is nice page http://www.zabbix.com/development_services.php where on the bottom of this page is possibility to Contribute on specific feature. I think that it can be way how to promote some feature requests and to do something like crowdfunding on specific feature. Zabbix dev setup price and we can contribute on this feature I think it can be good way how to pay for each feature and to to pay whole development by one customer. |

Comment by Darren Mackay [ 2016 Oct 25 ] |
Support for this feature and a business case... Part of our network is coax / DOCSIS. Stacked graphs are ideal for visualizing bonded upstream / downstream channels in DOCISS networks. There are 18 coax operators in Norway - 17 operators are small privately owned companies (the other is the National telco - Telenor). Most coax operators I have seen in europe roll their own provisioning and surveillance - the surveillance side rarely scales well. Using zabbix as the surveillance / stats collection engine would be ideal. There are also many other use cases for this feature - not just DOCSIS networks. Many independent operators are be happy to purchase support if Zabbix has all the features required - mentioned by yayo above 5.july.2013. sepa - good work. Ideally - we prefer to have the graph primitive generate the stacked graph. |
Comment by Jérémy D [ 2017 Feb 06 ] |
+1 !! It is this kind of functionality that will overwhelm other monitoring tools |
Comment by Vitaly Zhuravlev [ 2017 Mar 06 ] |
It will be more cool if this feature can be made available by introducing dynamic graphs without sticking to LLD. Just add regex mask like or something: cpu.load[.+] This is more general approach that will deliver this request as well as will allow to combine metrics that are from different LLD discoveries or from static part of the template, or same metrics from different hosts even could be combined like that. Like all loads of hosts in host group no matter how many hosts are there. |

Comment by Sonny Nicolas [ 2017 Dec 01 ] |
I would like to to create a stacked graph prototype that would stack all the item prototypes from the discovery rules. If I understand this feature request correctly, it is not currently possible? If anybody would care to confirm. Thank you! edit: My use case is to discover all APs from a wireless controller and stack all their bandwidth use on a stacked chart to see areas of use. |

@snicolas that's correct, what you're trying to do is not currently possible in the product, without some API work. |
Comment by Eric Smith [ 2017 Dec 01 ] |
What I've done is written a script that searches for all items of the chosen key that aren't in "not supported" status and added them to a graph. |

Better late than never I guess, the attached script checks for the specific key to be added to a host based graph and then creates the graph, adding to it those discovered items that have state = 0 (supported). |

Alex, the new graph widget supports wildcards that can be used to make a graph having all LLD items displayed. I really hope that Zabbix 4.4 will deliver host level graphs with support of wildcards for a complete solution. |

What's the likelihood of Host level graph wildcards coming to a 5.0.x point release? It's disappointing that this wasn't delivered in 4.4 (and hence 5.0). It'd be great to be able to template this at a host level, which you can't do with dashboard graphs. |

Same here. It would be nice to have ability to add to a graph prototype all discovered prototype items, so that I can see all of them in one place. My use case: i have many servers with openvpn server installed. Each server may have from 2 up to 16 processes of openvpn. I've created discovery rule to detect openvpn instances on a server, but I can't display them in one graph. I.e. I want to display bandwidth, connected users, etc per each openvpn instance in a server on a the graph prototy. But instead, zabbix generates a graph per each discovered openvpn instance. |

Hi, i like to have support for the following feature in zabbix: adjust the check interval of the item which causes the Trigger to go into PROBLEM state and restore orginal vaue if Trigger go into OK state back e.g a item checks in 300s interval if a service is running and a trigger reports this , adjust this time to e.g 60s if the trigger go into PROLEM state, so if the service is only 1 minute down, thetrigger OK is send after 1 or 2 minuten not 5 minutes so the "Downtime" zabbix reports is 1 or 2 min not 5. Yes the check interval can be set to 1 min, but on big installations, you need carefully set the check intervals. regards Florian |

It may be useful to consult with how OpenNMS implements this feature, which it calls "Downtime Models": http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Polling_Configuration_How-To#Downtime_Models The incentive is to report more accurate SLA:

Comment by Luca [ 2015 May 11 ] |
The "Downtime Models" by OpenNMS is good exaple. The other options is to use the "action" function yet present in zabbix by execute a shell action that change the item. |
Comment by Corey Shaw [ 2015 May 11 ] |
One major issue with using the API to alert the item's update interval is the caching that goes on. For instance, the configuration syncer runs every 1 minute by default on a Zabbix server. If I modify the item interval in the method mentioned by Luca, then I will up to a one minute timeframe before that change goes into effect. This doesn't sound so bad in a very basic default install, but it becomes much worse as you add in proxies and refresh intervals for active items. For instance, in my Zabbix environment my server updates its config cache every 10 minutes, my proxies update their cache every 10 minutes, and my agents update their active checks every 10 minutes. So in the situation given above, I would have to wait up to 10+10+10 minutes (30 of course ) before my item interval could change. |
Comment by Bjarne Offenberg [ 2015 Aug 27 ] |
I see that this feature request is already 3 years old, but has not yet been implemented. I see that web-monitoring has implemented retries. Can the same technique that is used for web_monitoring be used for simple checks? |

Agreed - We install new Zabbix instances quite often. Dashboards are one of the main entry points for Zabbix users and one of the things users interact with most. It would be very neat to have our set of carefully crafted Dashboads available for import on other instances - including being able to use things like versioning for our dashboards. Maybe in the future that paves the way for something like dashboard sharing (analog to template sharing)? |

Description |
We have hundreds of monitored servers with thousands of checks in total. The size of the items and various history tables in the Zabbix database is a major scalability problem for us – we've got it running on a very fast RAID array with 10+ disks, but a postgres autovacuum of the items table makes the server almost unusable. Long-term the amount of data we can store in those tables will limit whether we can continue to use Zabbix. Has any thought been given to a more scalable storage mechanism? Some ideas:

what's preventing you from using partitioning ? so could this feature request said to be about alternative data storage options ? |
Comment by Will Lowe [ 2011 Mar 24 ] |
Hmm. When I look at my schema, I see a single history table and a single items table. They are so big that I can't even get a real size – SELECT count from history; will take hours. Here's an approximation: zabbix=# SELECT (reltuples)::integer FROM pg_class r WHERE relkind = 'r' AND relname = 'history'; ... I was looking for a way to break this up into several smaller tables. E.g. history_2011_01, history_2011_02. You're saying that's already supported? I couldn't find it in the documentation. |

+1 for OpenTSDB and Graphite |
Comment by David Parker [ 2014 Dec 13 ] |
ZBXNEXT-2640 was closed as a duplicate of this bug. It proposes to solve the backend storage problem by adding an optional call to send data to an AMQ type queue at the point in zabbix server logic where data is being prepared for insertion into sql. This single addition is effectively a modular storage solution - you can pretty much route the data wherever you want once it's in e.g. rabbitmq. It makes OpenTSDB, Graphite, and just about anything else you can think of almost trivial additions from the user perspective, and has the advantage of reducing the zabbix code complexity "load" to only dealing with one single api (the amq api). I believe rabbitmq is a good choice here, but others would work as well. I believe the "hook" would live somewhere in src/libs/zbxdbcache/dbcache.c in the dc_add_history_<type> functions. If the target is rabbitmq, the C client library is this: http://alanxz.github.io/rabbitmq-c/docs/0.5.0/. Implementation would be to add optional configuration to the server config file sufficient to describe a connection to an amq exchange. If that configuration section is populate, code establishes the connection and then pushes data through it. Data would be text format (could be just comma delimited to keep overhead down on the zabbix side). I believe this would not be hard to implement. |
Comment by Corey Shaw [ 2015 Feb 03 ] |
I believe that a lot of the ideas that have been presented here are fantastic. Definitely more database storage options are needed for both storing data AND Zabbix reading it back out. Something lacking here though is the concept of storage "modules". I've heard it be alluded to in #zabbix and such, but figured I'd point it out here. There really needs to be something of a storage framework that people can write pluggable modules for. For instance, let's say that this framework allows me provide my own plugin (or another one someone has written) that tells Zabbix how to store data in OpenTSDB. This same plugin could tell Zabbix how to read data back out of that datastore. To improve on this further it should be possible for a custom plugin to support sharding of the datastore. Why couldn't someone write into the MySQL module the ability for Zabbix read/write data from/to multiple servers? If all Zabbix cares about is function calls to the plugin that provide or store the data, it should be trivial to support that from a Zabbix perspective. The difficulty lies in the pluggable module. Zabbix SIA could provide a base set of modules as they see fit (ie: MySQL, Postgres, etc.) and also rely on the community to provide them. Obviously this is not a minor change and require a significant amount of work. It is possible to get an interim (and let me stress the word "interim") solution probably a bit more quickly. ZBXNEXT-2640 has the concept of adding a "hook" into the current Zabbix code to publish data it collects to an AMQP bus (like RabbitMQ) - this was mentioned in the previous comment by David Parker. This would provide the ability to shove the data off to some other datastore of choice without completely redesigning the Zabbix storage code as it stands now. While it wouldn't provide the ability for Zabbix to read data from the arbitrary datastore, it would allow people to offload some work from the main Zabbix database, thereby freeing up resources (which the Zabbix database desperately is in want of). |
Comment by Alexander Simenduev [ 2015 Feb 06 ] |
I think InfluxDB (http://influxdb.com), should be a very reasonable alternative for the items storage, which have a SQL like query engine. |
Comment by Corey Shaw [ 2015 Feb 06 ] |
One of the current major issues with InfluxDB is that its clustering is experimental at best, so it would suffer from scalability concerns. If it was simply another plugin for a storage framework (like I mentioned in my last comment), that'd be great! |
Comment by David Parker [ 2015 Feb 07 ] |
As you mentioned, having output go through an AMQ (eg rabbitmq) as in ZBXNEXT-2640 is a fast interrim path toward that. If everything gets shoved into queue, it can go wherever the user wants it to go. The effect is much like having a plugin-able storage backend, albeit write-only. |

I generally don't like the solutions which suggest manual sharding, partitioning or other manual hacks. Just to name a few older and newer, all of them possibly better than *sql: dalmatinerdb, apache kubu, opentsdb (these all automagically clustered); influx, prometheus, riakTS, kairosDB, graphite/whisper, or even elasticsearch; and some I don't even know: druid, blueflood, atlas, chronix, hawkular, warp10, heroic, btrdb, merticTank... I personally see the first two as a good candidate for myself, but they are very similar from the usage standpoint. All of them great in storing and retrieving time series. |

Comment by Peter Gervai [ 2017 May 18 ] |
@stefan krüger: You believe that, and many of us disagrees. RDBMS is not good for storing (sometimes many hundred millions) of simple, unstructured time series data, and even less for retrieving them fast. It doesn't really matter how you try to tweak the schema, you always need lots of dirty (manual) work to make it at least somewhat bearable, but it never will be good. In contrast the clustered time series databases usually provide you with a working, distributed, load balanced and high peformance backend without any fiddling necessary. Retrieval times are (often) magnitudes lower than RDBMS. I understand that some people believes that the solution is not to keep historical data, they delete everything older than a week and be happy. But then we (those who need the history for years) would need a parallel system, gathering the same data but storing it, then another to retrieve and visualise it. Kind of defeats the purpose. I haven't browsed the code but probably all tasks can be somehow traced back to |

Can we test VictoriaMetrics as alternative to SQLite? |
Comment by Peter Gervai [ 2023 Jun 25 ] |
I have lost my patience in the recent years waiting for solution, since RDBMS clearly not fitting the case. Since we use VictoriaMetrics for about everything metric, and it handles about 20 billion entry on a single non-clustered virtual machine rather well (both disk usage and response time is excellent) I started to implement querying metrics through zabbix api and inject it into V.M. and use Grafana to watch metrics (not to mention some algorithmic alerts through alertmanager, which shall be fed back to zabbix, enevtually), and tell Zabbix to remove metric stuff older than some ridiculously short time, say, 7 days. It would be nice if zabbix could automagically push metric data to anything, using a plugin-based system (prometheus compatible, influx compatible, tsdb compatible, just to name a few), and maybe able to include Grafana dashboards (even in an iframe), if it's hard to implement actual metric queries against the said protocols and displaying it (but, honestly, Grafana displays graphs a million times better than a hacked-together local graph, why reimplement it again?). Clickhouse is nice but I wouldn't store metrics in a non-metric oriented backend; however, even if it's not perfect, it could handle storage way better than the current solutions. Especially any historical non-metric data. (And Elasticsearch is not resource friendly in any way, mind you.) I was suggesting generic metric API a loong time ago, following the discussions but I have seen marginal demand and will, and probably it's easier for me to syphon out the data than waiting for some miracle to happen. (In my mind Zabbix is an excellent alert engine and a horrible metrics engine.) Still I carry hope. |

Zabbix already has such "plugin-based system" (see

since Zabbix supports TimescaleDB, it has a good scalable alternative for history and items.. also Zabbix has the possibility to export metrics everything is fine so for me, that can be closed |
Comment by Peter Gervai [ 2023 Jun 26 ] |
@Glebs While in theory influx can be used in VM in practice as you mention with no label information (group, item name, interface, ...) it has little use, possibly not unrelated to the lack of feedback. I am not sure i would be simple (or possible) to write a module which could generate "whole" data (ts+data+labels), posssibly doing large amount of lookups in the process. For the general case (or for really anything which works on the data, from alerting to various external plugs) the grafana "hack" do not seem to be useful. |

We are aiming to introduce a generic HTTP based API for connecting any time series DB engines in 7.0 LTS. It is currently in design phase. |
Comment by Andrea Rafreider [ 2023 Jul 27 ] |
Use of timeseries databases for history usage would be easier if zabbix item keys supported named parameters. Example: This could easily exported in the history file of zabbix and imported in a prometheus compatible timeseries (we use victoriametrics for this) for example a on a timeseries with name vfs.fs.size and labels {filesystem="/usr", mode="used"}Retrocompatibility, for those who need it, could be achieved by supporting in zabbix item.keys both positional and new named parameters. I'm looking forward for a timeseries backend that can work OOTB with zabbix! Keep up with the good work |

Description |
One of the functionality issues I have with the Zabbix Frontend is the lack of ability to enter data into forms (such as a host list) using either a spaced or otherwise delimited entry. For example, I might have a list of servers delimited by commas, spaces or semicolons. I would like to be able to copy and paste that list into an input field and have the frontend parse that list and add the servers. RIght now, you are required to manually select or type in each server to add it to the list. This is extremely painful for trying to create "dynamic" lists of servers where you are unable to use some other function such as a hostgroup or tag. This results in needing to use Grafana for dashboarding as it supports supplying inputs in many delimited forms, even regex. It removes some value from Zabbix Dashboards due to this feature. |

Description |
With network tiering we mean segregating the components (database, application, frontend, “clients”) in the network, where each layer is only able to talk to the layer net to it. Currently this kind of network tiering is not supported by Zabbix, as the front end requires direct access to the database. Another issue is that agents/proxies needs to talk directly to the Zabbix server, instead of going through the Front end. If we could get the possibility to let agents and proxies communicate with the server through the front, it would be great. But we would also like to see the Front end communicate with the database through the server. With these changes, we could put the front ends in a true DMZ, the servers in the first network layer behind the DMZ, and then the database in another layer behind again. See attached picture, where the Zabbix front end is placed in the DMZ, the Zabbix server is in the next network layer and finally the database in another layer. This architecture is quite common, and facilitates minimal openings in the firewall between the network layers. |

Frontend connecting to the DB via server has been discussed quite a lot in the past, and there might be an existing feature request - although cannot find one right now. |
Comment by dimir [ 2023 Oct 09 ] |
Yeah, and possibly this could solve the long-lasting issues of deadlocks in the database when server and frontend are accessing the database simultaneously. |

Enable a way to run the key proc.num in debug mode, which will show exactly how the program will capture the process. It has been reported that proc.num is showing 2 process instead of 1. (as shown by ps command). Debug could show the process id detected. Adding the proc.get item support would also be more useful.

Description |
It would be interesting to have a filter for item status (supported/not supported), state (enabled/disabled), and maybe other attributes too (such as triggers/discovered/inherited). Having a filter for items in “latest data” to filter enabled/disabled and supported/not supported may help on two things: (1) give users visibility of what they might be missing and empower them to fix it, and (2) specially giving us the ability to look for problems in specially big envs. That helps a lot with couple millions items and a busy frontend. Keeps frontend responsive as it displays less info, that’s more relevant for the query the user/admin is doing. The current possibility for something similar would be the filter items by "Without data", on sub-filter, but it can show items that are "OK", but without any data. The main idea here is to be able to filter/see only items you need to debug and fix. |

Agreed to this one. Fix is really straight forward and easy... edit /usr/share/zabbix/app/controllers/CControllerDashboardView.php change line 168 from:
$response->setTitle(_('Dashboard'));
to $response->setTitle(_($data['dashboard']['name']));
and problem is solved - in bigger environments its quite helpful imo!

At the moment we have a VMware template, which is already able to monitor standalone ESXi hypervisors, however, when using this template Zabbix essentially has to create two hosts, one where you attach the template which also will discover the hypervisor with the "Discover VMware hypervisors" discovery rule, you will end up with two hosts. Attaching the "VMware hypervisors" template directly (which is a part of the VMware template as a whole), also does not work, as then there is a missing LLD macro that doesn't allow the template to function properly. |

Description |
Hi all Today, Zabbix finds devices like sda, sdb, sdc etc and that is generally fine on smaller systems. On larger, however, if you have a lot, like 20 or 80 drives, those won't be given the same device name on each bootup. Your sdd and sdc can swap place because one was detected before the other. From Linux' point of view, this isn't a bug at all, since device names shouldn't be trusted anyway. If you keep on trusting device names, zabbix will show all sorts of interesting errors that aren't there, for instance a drive in a RAID where the smart counters have started ticking, and then, after a reboot, another drive has the same count, but the first has zero. So, with the old smartctl check (before zabbix_agent2), I rewrote the discovery to allow for returning a consistent path to the device, namely /dev/disk/by-id/ata-something-blabla (or scsi- or usb-), which then is a symlink to the real device. I know this works and it removes a lot of false positives. The problem is - how can I make Zabbix' LLD for blockdevices do the same? Rewrite the whole thing in scripts? It'd be very nice if there was a way to have zabbix_agent2 do this on its own. My versjon of the LLD script for disks is here in case someone wants to have a peek https://github.com/rkarlsba/ymse/blob/master/zabbix/zbx-smartctl/discovery-scripts/nix/smartctl-disks-discovery.pl roy |

Then, set a different temporary password. There must be a more modern way to ensure what the user is about to see. |

When running Zabbix in an HA configuration, it would be highly desirable to have functionality, ideally in the GUI, to manually change the active server. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, to failover to a specific node you must shutdown the Zabbix Server on all the other nodes and wait for it to hit the configured failover time limit. There’s a variety of scenarios where it’s desirable to manually change the active node without delay. |

Description |
It is recommended to use periodic service tokens for long-running services However, these tokens expire and they need to be renewed periodically. Currently this is possible only outside of Zabbix using periodic cron job or other way. This puts token potentially under risk, because if cron job is used then the token must be stored in plain text file. https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/vault/tokens#renew-service-tokens This is not a big problem for frontend, because the token is stored in the web configuration anyway. However, Zabbix server has possibility to use token from environment variable (which can be destroyed after Zabbix server start). Adding possibilty to auto renew the token used by Zabbix server would be nice. VaultTokenRenew=1h The only non-expiring token is the root token, but using root token for a service is bad practice. |

An alternative/easier approach may be to integrate with vault agent. Vault agent (with an approle authenticator) can auto-renew and auto-auth tokens and write them to a sink file. This would then only require the following Zabbix changes: VaultToken configuration modified to enable reading from a file: VaultToken=file:/path/to/sinkfile
and a new option: VaultTokenFrequency with a value set to how frequently the zabbix server should refresh the token used from the sink file. VaultTokenFrequency=3600 |
Comment by Evgeny Semerikov [ 2023 Mar 02 ] |
Also will be nice to use approle and add to config few new params, like role-id and secret_id instead VaultToken with them Zabbix can automatically renew token after its expiration. |
Comment by Karel Krýda [ 2023 Aug 31 ] |
We definitely need this functionality. It is not possible to manually renew the token every month. |

It'd be great if you could manually execute checks for all related checks of an active trigger from the dashboard (for items which allow for manual checks). This way an admin who's working on an issue could easily gather new data after having made changes from the dashboard, without first having to go into the host configuration, to the trigger, search for all items that the trigger contains, select them and execute them from there. A single button on the Dashboard would suffice. |

Description |
Currently there's no way in Zabbix agent to check the total amount of actually INSTALLED/PROVIDED memory in Linux (physical server or virtual machine). The vm.memory.size[total] Zabbix agent key is consistent with "free" output. But the amount of memory returned by "free" is not equal to the memory installed/provided to the server (the latter can be checked by "dmesg | grep Memory:" or by dmidecode). It's important to note that this does not have to do with differences between "Gigabyte" and "Gibibyte". Here are values taken from a virtual machine with 512 MB:
# dmesg | grep Memory [ 0.000000] Memory: 451404k/524288k available (7664k kernel code, 396k absent, 72488k reserved, 6055k data, 1876k init) # free -b total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 509046784 106278912 157323264 26697728 245444608 332025856 Swap: 0 0 0
First value (524288k, in dmesg output) is actually in KiB - if you divide it by 1024 you get exactly 512 MB (as you're supposed to). The following Red Hat KB article explains a bit about the difference: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/454133
This feature request, then, is to suggest that we create a Zabbix agent item that returns the total amount of memory provided to/installed in a server. |

Zabbix is a great solution when we talking about working with a problems We're able to create alerts in many ways, but... All of it is limited by Zabbix only. We have to create items, triggers, make some workarounds with zabbix_sender utility and sender protocol to make Zabbix looks like an Umbrella Solution because Zabbix could be not the only system, which generates alerts and it would be a great benefit for Zabbix to use it as a Unified window for all those systems Possibility of 3rdparty problems receiving/generating open new opportunities like - internal synthetic problems generation in Zabbix (Button - generate a new event for a trigger could save a huge amount of time), correlation-related new events, etc...

A web server can be configured to listen on a very particular Server Name (SNI), not listens with an IP address. Zabbix offers a network discovery to find servers that listen on port 443. If a host listens behind SNI, the resource will not be found by a network discovery. Kindly allow to optionally conduct a reverse lookup for the IP address, then rescan the object with a server name, to successfully identify an HTTPS resource. |

Comments |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2021 May 15 ] |
Alternative approach — agent-side option to use "relative" timestamps (e.g. time elapsed since agent started) instead of absolute ones (UNIX timestamps) if the latter can't be relied upon. Agent will include a relative timestamp of every collected value and a relative timestamp when all of them are sent to server/proxy, server/proxy can then calculate absolute timestamps of every value. This way "chaos in timestamps" is eliminated at the protocol level as well. |

It would be also good to be able to tell from server/proxy perspective that it got items from zabbix_sender that doesn't exist in its configuration. For exemple line like this in zabbix_server.log/zabbix_proxy.log: [TIMESTAMP] Got unexpected item NAME.OF.KEY from HOSTNAME That way when watching that log file one would be able to detect hosts that send trapper data to non existent items. |

Comment by Mathieu M. [ 2023 Sep 20 ] |
Hello, It's even more than the original requester, It "should" be exportable by nature => Possibility to forward this to a specific log / add them to zabbix server log or other to be able to send them to a remote log controller. We can imagine easily that this can be wanted in more "secure" environment (PCI DSS or other ?). As the "metric" exporter to JSON exist, there should be a similar option at least (I would recommend JSON format over CSV in any case due to parsing by logstash and others). Regards |
Comment by Kapil Yanamandra [ 2024 Feb 28 ] |
I agree with the need for our requirements to include the capability of forwarding both Action and Audit logs to a designated log file to be able to send them to a remote log controller. This functionality is essential for us to effectively monitor specific actions. This is a much awaited feature in our organization. |

There are scenarios, where the host prototype interface should only be partially inherited. For example, an SNMPv3 interface can use the parent IP address but should have a different context name. You could use the custom interface option, but then, when you're running the discovery from multiple hosts, you would need to edit the interface in each discovery rule/host prototype per each parent host, thus somewhat defeating the purpose of using templates. |

There is no universal way to do a generic ping over UDP that would work in all cases. UDP is a connectionless protocol that, in contrast with TCP, does not provide any kinds of delivery confirmations. When a client sends a UDP packet to some port, the packet gets delivered to the target OS which in turn checks whether there is a listener process registered in the OS. If there is then the packet gets delivered to the process which is free to either respond or keep silence, depending on the application logic. If there is no listener process, then the packet gets discarded and the OS sends back ICMP packet “port unreachable”. In theory, one can tell the UDP port is closed by checking such ICMP responses. In practice, however, firewalled environments just block such packets more often than not. Utilities, like nping —udp just send UDP packets and hope for the best. You can rely on their results only when you either know for sure that ICMP packets are always delivered from your target to the sender or know that the application does always immediately respond to UDP requests with some response. |

Currently no aggregated interfaces are discovered with net.if.discovery on IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris systems. A request has now been sent to IBM about the availability of alternative methods to get this information Depending on the answer, we expect either the corresponding functionality in the next upgrade =) or add a note to the documentation on the current state of affairs. |

As far as I understand, statistics for aggregated interface (EtherChannel on AIX / aggr on Solaris) are collected, but there is no possibilities to check load of every single port inside aggregated interface. |

Description |
After the LLD rules executes in, if the trigger title reaches over 256 characters, then LLD cannot create it and says:
Cannot update trigger: value "" too long
Real life example: Cannot update trigger: value "/var/lib/lxc/core-abcdefg: Disk space is critically low (used > {$VFS.FS.PUSED.MAX.CRIT.LINUX:"/var/lib/lxc/core-abcdefg"}% and free < {$VFS.FS.FREE.MIN.CRIT.LINUX:"/var/lib/lxc/core-abcdefg"}, for more than {$VFS.FS.TIME.LINUX:"/var/lib/lxc/core-abcdefg"})" is too long. If try to create the trigger manually (without LLD) then frontend automatically truncates the trigger title to 256 characters: According to documentation, the trigger.description column can hold up to 2048 characters. So it looks like the database is not creating limitation, but process 'zabbix-server' or frontend. |

Arguably this isnt a CR, but in fact a bug. Zabbix kubernetes monitoring is impacted by this problem due to long PVC mount names in trigger generation. Please fix this issue. |

I'm rather surprised that this issue hasn't gained more traction. With the ever expanding amount of things that can and should be monitored through an agentless API query, the more hosts Zabbix users are going to have that show up in the "Unknown" state because this feature is missing. In the Zabbix instance that I manage, most of our monitoring is done through API calls for hundreds of different devices, so the host availability widget is useless because of this missing feature. |

Every modification done on the Template is replicated on every host. When modifiying the update interval of an item, it will affect all iherited items in the hosts, we can avoid this by specifiyin a user macro in the update interval, but it can't be done when enabling or disabling the item. Perhaps we can specify an option if we want this the modification to be replicated in the hosts. There are some that will always be replicated, like the key or name of the item, but others, not always is a desired bejavor |

Hi folks, using fpm for zabbix is actually pretty easy. Something like this will do apt install php7.4-fpm a2dismod php7.4 a2enconf php7.4-fpm a2enmod proxy_fcgi a2dismod mpm_prefork a2enmod mpm_event a2enmod http2 systemctl restart apache2 Problem is, all the php options set in zabbix-frontend-php.conf are lost, since the mod_php7 module is not in anymore. Zabbix lacks a modular approach to set the lost options for both mod_php and fpm, making sure they are not lost on the next major Zabbix or PHP upgrade. |

PS: A non-modular approach could be to add a file /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/zabbix.conf: php_value[max_execution_time] = 300 php_value[memory_limit] = 4096M php_value[post_max_size] = 256M php_value[upload_max_filesize] = 4M php_value[max_input_time] = 300 php_value[date.timezone] = "CET" and to restart the php7.4-fpm service. |

It would be nice to be able to lookup secrets from the more robust secret engines in HashiCorp Vault, like the database and ad engines. We allow HashiCorp Vault to rotate our database passwords and lazy rotation of Active Directory service account passwords. I have a workaround to this, but it is not desirable because it adds complexity. One possible implementation would be to allow for looking up a raw path, instead of parsing the path into <mount-point>/data/<remaining-path>. |

Just an idea for consideration: Various monitoring sub-processes are not being started by default and monitoring of their utilization from default Zabbix server/proxy health template produces not supported items, e.g.:
It is clear, items can be disabled in such case (workaround), but with the risk, they will be forgotten to be re-enabled after those processes later enabled+started. (Secondarily, disabled items may be also unwantedly re-enabled on some cases.) Please, consider addition of "Check for not supported value" preprocessing step into those items in OOB templates, returning 0% utilization when not supported. Secondarily, there could be also items monitoring numbers of running instances of all monitored sub-processes by OOB Zabbix server/proxy health (with zero considered as valid value), with triggers reacting on their changes. Thank you in advance for consideration. Related ticket: ZBX-21210. |

First of all, our use case. eventlog[Application,,"Warning|Error|Critical",,,100,skip] eventlog[System,,"Warning|Error|Critical",,,100,skip] The main idea is to inform the appropriate person about any significant messages in Windows Event Log.
So, in practice our trigger expressions are complex enough. Often they have logic like the following: IF ( (level=Error OR level=Critical) AND NOT (source='Source1' AND eventid='1111') //ignore errors with id=1111 from Source1 AND NOT (source='Source2' AND eventid='2222') //ignore errors with id=2222 from Source2 AND NOT (source='Source3' AND eventid='3333') //ignore errors with id=3333 from Source3 [...] ) OR ( level=Warning AND ( (source='SourceX' AND eventid='XXXX') //accept warnings with id=XXXX from SourceX OR (source='SourceY' AND eventid='YYYY') //accept warnings with id=YYYY from SourceY ) ) It could be great if some of this logic be available in preprocessing: for example, if (source='Source1' AND eventid='1111') then just discard a value. It could dramatically simplify our trigger expressions. Unfortunately, at the moment all these Event Log's metadata (EventID, Source, Severity, original timestamp) could not be accessible during a preprocessing stage. There could be different approaches to implement these checks, for example - make the system macros {ITEM.LOG.*<1-9>} ({ITEM.LOG.EVENTID}, {ITEM.LOG.NSEVERITY}, {ITEM.LOG.SOURCE}) available during preprocessing; or some functions like logeventid()/logseverity()/logsource() available in JavaScript.

Description |
It will be nice if some option will be added to tags creation via LLD. For example we creating hosts from VM discovery and want to add tags to hosts. In some case tag value can be empty and Zabbix should skip this tag. For now you will got empty tag. And if regsub or other function was used - you will got ugly empty tag. |

Description |
Please consider an option for custom legends in graphs.
This option is in Cacti like for 10 years, it allows to add items to legend without drawing them to the graph and just simply print the item values. It's usable for any reference. Real life scenario is errors on wireless link (ber). It gives a cumulative number from SNMP, so in Zabbix it's only possible to print the value to graph (which does not make sense) or use simple change preprocessing function, but there is no way how to print the "Total errors" value in legend.
In attachment is like it works in Cacti. Total errors are printed as a label in legend and graph is empty, because they were no errors today. |

Hi, Risk: It is possible to gather sensitive information about the web application such as usernames, passwords, machine name and/or sensitive filelocations It is possible to persuade a naive user to supply sensitive information such as username, password, credit card number, social securitynumber etc. GET requests are designed to query the server, while POST requests are for submitting data. However, aside from the technical purpose, attacking query parameters is easier than body parameters, because sending a link to the originalsite, or posting it in a blog or comment, is easier and has better results than the alternative - in order to attack a request with bodyparameters, an attacker would need to create a page containing a form that will be submitted when visited by the victim.It is a lot harder to convince the victim to visit a page that he doesn't know, than letting him visit the original site. It it therefore notrecommended to support body parameters that arrive in the query string. |

Description |
When using Zabbix agent with certificates, when certificate changes, it requires an agent restart to pick up a new certificate. To keep the environment very secure (3 months retention period for certificate), it's mandatory to restart the agent multiple times per year. It would be a great functionality to: 1) Allow the runtime command for the agent to reload a config without rebooting the service and/or 2) Develop a task inside the user interface (similar as "Check now" button) to reload the configuration cache remotely. "Check Now" currently is supported via passive checks only. We can headline this feature request as "Decrease the maintenance cost for very secure environments". |

Description |
Hello, I switch my e-mail notification from standard text to html e-mail. In every triggers (and items) I add a description with commands to launch to retrieve the error or the script to launch to help troubleshooting the problems. So in the description in the trigger I user CRLF to have a clear and readable text but when the description is sent in the html e-mail the CRLF should normally be converted into <br> So the explanation that I set in the description field is less readable than into Zabbix GUI because everything is turned into one line. So would be very convenient if Zabbix would be smart enough to convert the description (items or trigger) into its html compatible format when we choose to send and html e-mail using the: {HOST.DESCRIPTION} {ITEM.DESCRIPTION} {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION} ...
I guess that some special characters should also be converted by this future smart text-to-html convertor. Thanks |

Description |
Currently, only non-dynamic url widgets are allowed in templated dashboards. That it is quite useless, as there seems to be no way to put the name of the host the template is attached to in the called url - and a templated dashboard is used to display host-specific information. The solution is easy: add the dynamic url option to templated dashboards and auto-select the host the template is attached to as the selected host for the dashboard, so that the HOST.*-macros evaluate correctly. Should be pretty trivial. Also see my suggestion ZBXNEXT-7937 for extended macro support in dynamic url widgets which should apply to templated dashboards as well. For a templated dashboard, template macros would need to be evaluated in addition to host and global user macros. |

I recently had some users ask if it was possible to hide items in the graph widget if the values for that item were all 0. Their use case made sense and it seems that Grafana and Kibana have this feature out of the box. It does appear to have some utility. I looked through the code and was able to create a mock-up that is also functional. I haven't submitted a pull request because I'm not sure that my changes fully fit the Zabbix coding style. But I've attached a screenshot of what it could look like along with the changes to the frontend code. Could this be implemented?

Hi Zabbix devs,
I noticed an inconsistency in the overrides. Equals and Contains use "pattern". Which is correct:
For Matches however this should be "regular expression": Just as we see on the filter:

But logically it should be one host with two interfaces and different proxies for the interfaces. |

I would also find it useful to have the ability to add an interface to a vmware discovered host. For example, I can add a template to the host after its been discovered, but if that template requires JMX polling its still no use. |
Comment by Dan Mills [ 2022 Oct 12 ] |
Yes we recently gained the ability to add templates to discovered hosts, but I'd like to also add extra interfaces. Like the example above after ESXi hosts are discovered I'd like to be able to add an IPMI interface, right now I have to have separate hosts just to monitor the IPMI. |

Description |
It will by nice to have validation for PSK and PSK identity fields in Frontend. For now we only have this warning in documentation: Each PSK identity must be paired with only one value. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that there are no two PSKs with the same identity string but different values. Failing to do so may lead to unpredictable disruptions of communication between Zabbix components using PSKs with this PSK identity string But since this information stored in configuration cache and database - we can check what user want to insert and don't allow user use same PSK and PSK identity for more then one host. |

Hi, Zabbix Team! I'd like to suggest to implement next feature. In latest data, when using simple graph and set some time period in selector, URL doesn't contains parameters about it, like "&from=now-1h&to=now". But generally it works - if we adjust it manually in URL it starts to work every next time when choosing another one period.
The feature will help to share simple graph with other users in more friendly way. |

Hi all, This seems to be a relative "urgent" issue, at least on our infra. The trigger was defined as "Bad response {ITEM.VALUE} for url https://xx.xx.xx.xx/xxxx"
Thus the command to send the alert to our external console ended with RC!=0 due to "Couldn't" Failed to execute command "/opt/zabbix/scripts/send_to_omnibus.sh -h 'xx.xx.xx.xx' -s 0 -m 'Bad response Couldn't connect to server: Failed to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx port 443: No route to host for url https://xx.xx.xx.xx/xx' -t 'businessService:SE00222, category:https_internal, httpFQDN:xx.xx.xx.xx, supportGroup:IT-DID-DIDEB' -g 'IT-DID-DIDEB' -b 'SE00222' -r "zabbix" -e '231417' -o "zabbix2netcool_posteifmsg" -c '{EVENT.TAGS.msgCatalog}'": sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' |
Comment by Fabian Vroom [ 2023 Mar 03 ] |
Good afternoon, I would also like to see this feature implemented. When using a JSON API with a script media type, if there are double quotes in any of the fields that are sent, the API returns an error. We are using the following json structure to integrate Zabbix into XSOAR: <code>{"Name":" {HOST.NAME}- {EVENT.NAME}","labels":[{"type":"hostid","value":" {HOST.ID}"},{"type":"hostname","value":" {HOST.HOST}"},{"type":"hostIP","value":" {IPADDRESS}"},{"type":"hostDescription","value":" {HOST.DESCRIPTION}"},{"type":"triggerID","value":" {TRIGGER.ID}"},{"type":"triggerName","value":" {TRIGGER.NAME}"},{"type":"triggerSeverity","value":" {TRIGGER.NSEVERITY}"},{"type":"triggerStatus","value":" {TRIGGER.STATUS}"},{"type":"triggerURL","value":" {TRIGGER.URL}"},{"type":"triggerDescription","value":" {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}"},{"type":"triggerLastValue","value":" {TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)"},{"type":"triggerPreviousValue","value":"{TRIGGER.KEY}.prev(0)"},{"type":"eventSeverity","value":" {EVENT.SEVERITY}"},{"type":"eventID","value":" {EVENT.ID}"},{"type":"eventDate","value":" {EVENT.DATE}"},{"type":"eventTime","value":" {EVENT.TIME}"},{"type":"eventName","value":"{EVENT.NAME}"},{"type":"eventStatus","value":"{EVENT.STATUS}"},{"type":"eventTags","value":"{EVENT.TAGS}"},{"type":"eventTime","value":"{EVENT.TIME}"}]}</code> And in many cases the {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION} or {HOST.DESCRIPTION} contain double quotes. Even if we sanitize all those fields, if any of our technicians update a description with a quote the integration will fail for all problems generated from the affected trigger or host. Kind regards, Fabian Vroom |
Comment by Connor McBrine-Ellis [ 2023 Mar 09 ] |
I have the same issue (Zabbix 6.0). I have an trigger action created to forward alerts to Opsgenie, but it is failing due to single quotes in my trigger description. I am using one of the built-in Zabbix templates, Juniper by SNMP, and I would expect that the built-in templates should work properly with trigger actions without needing any changes. I don't see any way to escape these single quotes without editing the template. Here is my script configuration: /home/opsgenie/oec/opsgenie-zabbix/send2opsgenie -triggerName='{TRIGGER.NAME}' -triggerId='{TRIGGER.ID}' -triggerStatus='{TRIGGER.STATUS}' -triggerSeverity='{TRIGGER.SEVERITY}' -triggerDescription='{TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}' -triggerUrl='{TRIGGER.URL}' -triggerValue='{TRIGGER.VALUE}' -triggerHostGroupName='{TRIGGER.HOSTGROUP.NAME}' -hostName='{HOST.NAME}' -ipAddress='{IPADDRESS}' -eventId='{EVENT.ID}' -date='{DATE}' -time='{TIME}' -itemKey='{ITEM.KEY}' -itemValue='{ITEM.VALUE}' -recoveryEventStatus='{EVENT.ACK.STATUS}' Here is a sample alert which is not working (with single quotes in the description): DEVICENAME:/home/opsgenie/oec/opsgenie-zabbix/send2opsgenie -triggerName='Interface st0.1(IPSec tunnel): Link down' -triggerId='29991' -triggerStatus='OK' -triggerSeverity='Average' -triggerDescription='This trigger expression works as follows: 1. Can be triggered if operations status is down. 2. 1=1 - user can redefine Context macro to value - 0. That marks this interface as not important. No new trigger will be fired if this interface is down. 3. {TEMPLATE_NAME:METRIC.diff()}=1) - trigger fires only if operational status was up(1) sometime before. (So, do not fire 'ethernal off' interfaces.) WARNING: if closed manually - won't fire again on next poll, because of .diff.' -triggerUrl='' -triggerValue='0' -triggerHostGroupName='Network' -hostName='DEVICENAME' -ipAddress='192.168.1.254' -eventId='577582' -date='2023.03.01' -time='22:22:22' -itemKey='net.if.status[ifOperStatus.609]' -itemValue='up (1)' -recoveryEventStatus='No' I get the following error:
sh: 6: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Please let me know if there is any way to work around this, or if Zabbix can please fix this limitation. |

I found another post on Zabbix forum from 2018 which references the same issue. https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/365084-how-to-handle-the-character-in-a-macro-that-is-used-in-an-action |
Comment by Connor McBrine-Ellis [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
Update for myself... switching my single quotes around {TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}
triggerDescription='{TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}'
to
triggerDescription="{TRIGGER.DESCRIPTION}"
with double quotes seems to have worked around the problem I was having. I imagine I may have an issue if my trigger description has double quotes though? I'm not certain.
|
Comment by Dirk Hilges [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
Changing from single to double quote does not solve the issue. As you wrote, when the description has double quote inside the text, you will get the same error.
Anyway, there are other characters that may lead to this error also. |
Comment by Connor McBrine-Ellis [ 2023 Jun 06 ] |
Hey Dirk, using double quotes did resolve the issue for my particular situation. However of course my problem wasn't exactly what was described in the issue description, but as I found out that bash only ignores special characters like parentheses if they're between double quotes, I just wanted to post my simple resolution here in case someone else came across my post from googling etc. Would still appreciate it if Zabbix addresses this problem on a more fundamental basis |

Description |
Starting with 5.4 value mapping is stored in template level. When a bunch of template modules are converted into a single template (by using "Unlink" functionality), value mapping is not copied. It would be nice to have an option to copy value mapping similarly, like copying one item between template/host objects. This block must have possibilities to distribute itself to other places: |
Comments |
Comment by Nathan Liefting [ 2022 Apr 25 ] |
Definitely agree on this one. Manual copy is very tiresome. So, went digging a bit deeper as I remember a discussion about this particular issue on #
Of course not very user friendly to have copying done in two different ways. I would propose a copy button on the value mapping page with the same functionality as is available in mass update.
Might be smart to revamp this a bit and focus on making it user friendly. One more addition. Yes we can now copy over value mappings using the mass update functionality. But when unlinking a template, we still unlink the value mapping even though they are identical on a template level. Still requires a LOT of extra manual labor compared to how it was before in Zabbix 5.2 and earlier and yes this is something we do a lot in general. |

Description |
Due to the complexity and setting up multiple Autoregistration actions and in some case may be repetitive or the need to make additions to certain action values. I would like to suggest adding the functionality to be able to use Macros in Autoregistration actions. Example would be: Macro {$IP.VALIDATION} [, ]10\.(1|2|13|16|20|51|52|101|102|120|224) Autoregistration action "Host metadata matches {$IP.VALIDATION} |

It would be nice to have an option to increase the width of a specific column. Set the size of column to the width, which matches the length of current maximum value on screen. Something similar like in MS Excel, we click between columns: One example: Official SSL certificate monitoring template produces a lot of string values in the output: Doing mouse over to each value is not productive. |

Probably we can use Action name as Script name. Or at least this must be mentioned in update procedure or release notes/upgrade notes. Trigger action with script in Zabbix 5.0:

Description |
When trying to make a new global script, doing a specific snmpwalk on a host for example:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public IP .1.3.xxxxxx
This works, but the moment the host is not listening on port 161, but on a different port, the snmpwalk command should be changed into:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public IP:PORT .1.3.xxxxxx
So in Zabbix that would be something like:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public {HOST.CONN} .1.3.xxxxxx
and for the custom port:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public {HOST.CONN}:{HOST.PORT} .1.3.xxxxxx
According to the docs( https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/5.4/manual/appendix/macros/supported_by_location) {HOST.CONN}is supported in "→ Global scripts (including confirmation text)" but {HOST.PORT} is not, effectively limiting global scripts on all non default ports... Please make {HOST.PORT} also available in Global scripts.

Description |
As we know, triggers are not evaluated for discarded values in item preprocessing https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/config/items/preprocessing#configuration. The disadvantage is, that when e.g. trigger expression or/and threshold is changed, the change is not applied immediately when discard preprocessing configured, it may take a long time or never occur when values do not change. Workaround: temporary discarding disablement or shortening discarding period, but it requires further manual actions, deeper ZBX expertise and permission to change root template, not forgetting to return back the configuration ... which is not very scalable from organization point of view. Maybe this could be revisited, as maybe there are also more options offering yet more fine tuned configuration, e.g.:
This could e.g. mean to have 4 types of discarding instead of 2:
Or just let 2 discarding options, but with add trigger evaluation to existing discarding functionality, but this may not be wanted in some scenarios on the other way, and may bring unneeded performance expense in some cases, an also break other logic in place ... Other option: trigger expressions reevaluation on any change of that trigger or macro used in it. |

Since applications have been deprecated in favor of tags, API method application.get has also been removed. Currently the only way to get item tags is to query for items, which can be slow sometimes. |

Comment by Kirill Varnakov [ 2022 Apr 27 ] |
Can the host.get method be improved when used with the selectItems parameter? If it included all tags for every element, that would be great. |
Comment by Joachim Vertommen [ 2022 Apr 27 ] |
This is also a huge problem for the zabbix-grafana plugin. This is very inefficient when you have lots of items per host. See: https://github.com/alexanderzobnin/grafana-zabbix/issues/1315

Review the work logic of "Clear history and trends" button from Hosts->Items form: a long-running delete query locking tables may occur thus bringing the whole Zabbix instance down. Make it asynchronous by creating a task to Zabbix housekeeper with required time range to clean (so only entries before the button click are removed).

Now the frontend, when opening the page, tries to reflect objects that fall under the filters of the previous selection. It is possible to add "?filter_rst=1" in the address bar. But this will lead to the fact that the filters will be reset and on large installations this can mean a very long time to open the page. Sometimes long delays in filter processing when they are not required are unacceptable in critical situations. As an option add the setting to the user profile. (remember the last filter or not) |

Right now, instead, I have to log on to the proxy/server and run an snmpwalk to see what values are returned/what the device is, which is a massive time waste. |

Description |
Unable to benefit from Zabbix auto-registration process with hosts having multiple hostnames. Hosts using multiple comma-separated Hostname values (ie. Hostname=OS-LINUX,DB-MYSQL) have to share single HostMetadata parameter. Therefore it is impossible to use separate conditions and evaluate separate operations for host auto-registration. Steps to reproduce: Say we have a single Linux based host named ZBX-PROXY that acts as Zabbix proxy with MySQL database and we want it to be monitored as two separate hosts: Host 1: OS-LINUX (OS level monitoring)
ServerActive=ZBX-PROXY Server=ZBX-PROXY Hostname=OS-LINUX,DB-MYSQL HostMetadataItem=system.uname
Result: Both OS-LINUX and DB-MYSQL get auto-registered, added to the host group "OS - Linux" and linked to template "Template OS Linux" (see the screenshot): Expected: Expectation is that both hosts get added to separate host groups and get linked with different templates. Suggested config: ServerActive=ZBX-PROXY Server=ZBX-PROXY Hostname=OS-LINUX,DB-MYSQL HostMetadataItem.OS-LINUX=system.uname # Metadata passed only to OS-LINUX HostMetadata.DB-MYSQL=mysql # Metadata passed only to DB-MYSQL #HostMetadataItem=system.uname # Metadata passed to all hosts. Takes precedence over HostMetadata.* and HostMetadataItem.* parameters

When we define some host and hostgroups into maintenance, then all hosts getting maintenance mark. But, when we setting up suppresiing for events with necessary tags only - there are no difference, only host has an maintenance mark still It can be a reason of confusion for users - they thinking (especiaaly in case whe show supressed events on Monitoring-Problems page is enabled), that if host in maintenance, then all triggers in maintenance as well, so some high priority incidents can be missed up. Please, change current maintenance marking design in case of specific triggers suppression only - delete host mark and set it for supressed trigger |

Comment by Tibor Volanszki [ 2022 Jan 27 ] |
I wanted to request the exact same thing, thank you for raising it! My maintenance example: Host group: all network switches with server connections Result: Technically it works fine, since only the relevant triggers are supressed, but the "maintenance tool" icon is present for all the switches in many views, which is misleading, annoying, confusing (especially for L1/L2 support). Please only mark affected items, where the tags are matching and leave out the host objects (or mark them differently / provide an option to turn off the marking for them). Thank you! Best regards, |

Description |
We are using zabbix maps extensively, both for traditional monitoring and to augment documentation. For example, rather than having a static document explaining a process, whereby one or more servers, databases, applications interact to achieve an outcome, we are using zabbix to map those processes such that some elements can have live status info. As a result, our list of maps is growing to the point of being unwieldy. We've just started and we have 72 maps. Maps consist of Site/Subnet maps, Application maps, Equipment overview maps(UPS/Physical Server/Wireless Topology) and global overview maps. It would be helpful to have some sort of filtering grouping mechanism. This would either be a dedicated "Map Group", or could possibly be served just as well by tying into the host group framework. |

If you are not using it yet, maybe https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/dashboard/widgets#map_navigation_tree can help a bit (but it could have performance issues in larger environments). |
Comment by Ben Hanson [ 2018 Nov 02 ] |
I just discovered this yesterday, and while it is a nice feature(that I still need to explore), on my 3.4.12 install the links to the maps doesn't work. (I'm assuming the apparent hyperlink in the nav tree should go to the associated map.). It also doesn't change actually navigating maps to edit/update them. |

Description |
I would like to raise a really small problem of frontend messaging, namely the sounds. This problem can be divided into:
According to the Nyquist theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem) you can hear up to twice as small frequency as your sampling rate is. Keeping in mind that humans can hear between 20 Hz – 20 kHz, the sampling rate for digital sounds should be no less than 40 kHz to hear the full range. The established standard of 44.1 kHz will be used & 24 bit quantization In music production, there is this process called “mastering”; it is applied to every music album. You, as a listener, should never have to tune volume up or down while listening to one album, unless you like some specific song more than others That’s what mastering process is responsible for – it makes all songs sound equally to one another, in terms of loudness and in scope of single album. Exactly same approach should be – but is not – applied here in Zabbix: different sounds are provided in different loudness.
Being all that said, my proposal is based on:
So I recomposed the sounds by following the mentioned guidelines. The attached sounds might not necessarily be taken as an object of change, more as an example of how it could be.

I see the reason behind it, but... If I would change quantization from 24 bits to 16 (difference not audible for human ear), and reduce the "no_sound.wav" to be as small as yours (as this "sound" is pure silence, thus doesn't matter), then we would be talking about total size of ~2MB. Does 2 additional MB really matter in year 2018 (speaking about NW speed / disk space)?.. Besides, browser will store it in it's cache for some time anyway, or (this is Chrome example), retrieve file with 206 http status code, which also reduces the size drastically (in this example I use my sounds)
|
Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2018 Oct 22 ] |
First, I'm personally impressed by your work, really! Yes, it's a known thing that size does matter only when wav file is downloaded first time (and reloaded sometimes). Yes, that's arguable how all that is critical. But my point of view is still the same - 8bit quantization and 11kHs sampling is OK as for alarm sounds in a monitoring system. And ... new sounds is another big topic of such discussion |

Description |
The actions window in PROBLEMS showing informations about ACK, MSG, EMAIL SENT, etc., should behave more responsively to the browser/display resolution. For instance, in the list of problems like below, where one gets e.g. "22" related actions:
when someone opens those details by clicking on that "22", we can see a huge window like this:
Today with big screens and at least with FullHD resolution on most of them, a more responsive behaviour would be very useful. For instance that 2nd screenshot "image-2018-10-02-14-23-18-581.png" with 22 detailed lines was taken on a FullHD 24" - fullscreen browser (Firefox on Linux, IE on Win8.1, doesn't matter which one), and it filled it entirely from the top to the bottom. Why to wrap date & time? Why to wrap login name + full name? With that much details in that actions window, it should be behaving more dynamically. Perhaps kill that wrapping unless really required, or an configurable option to dynamically resize that actions window if necessary, in order to show as much informations as possible. Also paging if more than 20 might be useful. Maybe involve something of that new "COMAPACT VIEW", which is a perfect thing btw!. In the browser it's being managed by the following: <div class="overlay-dialogue" style="max-width: 800px"> Changing value 800px to min. eg. 1200px or more looks much better. |

Hi, We have two Zabbix servers monitoring each other. Primary monitors itself, Secondary and all other hosts. Secondary monitors itself and primary only. The goal is that if there is an issue with the primary server the secondary should alert us and vice versa. To this end, we've added an item to count the number of Zabbix Server processes "proc.num[zabbix_server]" with an associated trigger "{Template App Zabbix Server:proc.num[zabbix_server].last()}=0" to alert us should the Zabbix Server processes fail, i.e. Zabbix Server down. I think this would be a good addition to the default templates, it's also useful to be able to trend the process count over time to see when modifications to the process counts are made, for example increasing pollers etc. The same applies to the Zabbix Proxy template.

One reason for this was that some widgets were much, much more heavyweight on the backend (by needing a lot of data to display), thus they could be set to reload less frequently. |
Comment by Vitaly Zhuravlev [ 2018 Sep 28 ] |
I know, but which widget is this? This might be implemented as an 'override' option configurable for such heavy widgets. Or just don't refresh that often. |
Comment by richlv [ 2018 Oct 04 ] |
Don't recall the detail, and it could depend on the environment quite a lot. I like the override idea, if I got it right - that is, a default interval + an optional override per widget (remotely similar to slideshows). |

Description |
In our use-case we do a lot (100+ per minute) of Http-checks to the same host. When establishing a new TCP-Connection on every check the performance could be a problem. When doing those requests via SSL the problem is even worse. Currently we implemented our own Module for doing Http-Requests via libcurl and using the Curl-Shared-Handle to share connections between those requests. This works fine for us. I can provide a patch as this is a very small change. However, maybe some other have the use-case where they explicitly don't want conneciton-reuse. If an option for that is needed the work might be a bit higher. |
Comments |
Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2018 Sep 22 ] |
Zabbix server/Zabbix proxy should be capable to do those connections simultaneously if poller count is enough and system performance/host performance is enough. |
Comment by Christian Hägele [ 2018 Sep 22 ] |
I did not benchmark the difference. By "performance" I was more targeting in the direction that the overall load of the systems (Zabbix-Server and the system which is being monitored) is unnecessary high. In our case the number of incoming connections on the monitored system went up significant because of those checks. That's not directly a problem, but I think the monitoring system should have the least possible impact. I think it is a low hanging fruit to implement connection-reuse as libcurl already has this build-in. |
Comment by Glebs Ivanovskis [ 2018 Sep 22 ] |
I am afraid this will share the fate of ODBC connection pooling done by UnixODBC. It simply does not work in multi-process architecture of Zabbix. On a seriously large installation with hundreds of pollers and HTTP pollers such sharing will only waste resources as every process will ultimately make (and store!) a connection to every monitored resource. |
Comment by Vladislavs Sokurenko [ 2018 Sep 22 ] |
Thank you for you report, I understand your use case, this could be especially important in case if SSL is used and you have low resources, could you please be so kind and attach the patch ? More information is better. Of course having such option could have its pros. |

Description |
I've begun adding a large number of network devices to a Zabbix installation. These are mostly Cisco and Arista gear, doing switching or routing, and we care about things like port flaps, error counters, bandwidth, etc. Discovery templates are used for this and any given device may have six to eight items per physical port, so a 48-port switch could have as many as 384 items related to ports, plus the various hardware pieces like fans, temp, etc. so let's just say 400 items average per device. At that item count, I've found that several Cisco devices cannot return the data in less than the Zabbix maximum timeout window of 30 seconds. I also have some Cisco switch stacks which have several thousand OID's to query since all the switches report via one management IP. Arista gear seems to return the data faster, possibly due to a better SNMPv3 implementation or simply faster CPU's; their 48-port devices don't seem to have an issue getting the data out within Zabbix's timeout window. If you go to higher port count chassis though, you ultimately run into the same problem of the data not making it before timeout. The end result of this issue is you cannot reliably use SNMPv3 with Zabbix and a reasonable number of OID's on switches with potentially anywhere from 24 ports (Cisco) or 96 (Arista) and higher. You will constantly have issues with items bouncing between not supported and supported, so your data will have gaps where polls have been missed. I've had no choice but to downgrade to SNMPv2 to get around this. My feature request contains a few components: 1) At the host level, add a configuration setting for "Maximum SNMPv3 Responses Per Second". Note that I said responses per second and not queries per second, because the issue is not the queries, it's the responses taking longer than Zabbix is willing to wait. Since Zabbix expresses its wait timeout in seconds, knowing a rough limit on how many responses per second a given device can output would allow Zabbix to multiply that by its known timeout value, and then poll item OID's in batches no larger than (max snmpv3 * timeout) to ensure all the responses come before timeout.
2) To facilitate the above feature, SNMPv3 items would need to have an additional piece of internally calculated information which would be the polling bucket the given item ends up in. When a maximum SNMPv3 responses per second value is assigned, at that point Zabbix will calculate the maximum OID's per polling cycle, and divide the currently existing SNMPv3 items into polling buckets. For any given host, buckets cannot be polled concurrently, it must be sequentially, because I've found if you hit the same device with two bulk requests at the same time, the overall response time increases linearly, so the issue is likely just slow CPU's or slow SNMPv3 implementation on the device.
Once the buckets are created and items assigned to them, the pollers can work through them in the same order each time, which should allow the assigned query frequencies to roughly align. If more accuracy were desired, the buckets could even have offsets assigned to match Zabbix's minimum polling intervals for items on the respective host, so perhaps one bucket executes on the minute, the other always polls 30 seconds after the minute, so each bucket's one minute items are successfully queried.
3) If a given device has a number of items, and polling frequencies, that could never be met by a configured maximum responses per second, Zabbix should warn you. For example, let's say we have a big 10-slot chassis switch which, for the sake of easy math, has a 50-port ethernet blade in each slot, so 500 ports. We query for ten values per port; so 5000 items. We query those items once per minute, so roughly 84 responses per second would need to be possible from that device to meet Zabbix's queries. Let's say this device only outputs data at 50 OID's per second; if you type 50 in, Zabbix could warn you that you are going to miss data given the device cannot output responses fast enough for it to keep up with the queries. This above is not a far fetched example. I have a network closet in an office building I was trying to monitor with SNMPv3; it's a stack of six Cisco 2960XR's with 48+2 ports each. I'm trying to collect eight OID's per port (name, admin status, operational status, errors in, errors out, last state change, bytes in, bytes out), so this host in zabbix has 2400 items. SNMPv3 takes several minutes to output that data, SNMPv2 makes it in under the 30 second timeout I have set. 4) To facilitate measuring what a given device is capable of, it would be extremely helpful if there were some way in the Zabbix web interface to go to a given host and display a list of OID's it would normally query for a given polling cycle. The documentation could be updated to instruct people how to use snmpbulkget or snmpbulkwalk to benchmark the response time and come up with an expected number of responses per second. |

Hello, I wanted to add some additional information about this issue. I've determined that this is an issue specific to SNMPv3 when using authPriv where privacy is enabled and AES is the chosen encryption algorithm. If I change to either authPriv with DES privacy, or authNoPriv, the issue goes away. The problem appears to be a combination of how large numbers of SNMP-based Zabbix Items are polled for, and network devices with slow CPU's which cannot output large numbers of AES-encrypted OID's in a short amount of time. In poller/checks_snmp.c there appears to be logic in the zbx_snmp_get_values() function from a long time ago which is designed to split large bulk queries into multiple smaller numbers of OID's. Unfortunately, these are all executed nearly simultaneously if there are idle pollers available. What ends up happening is a large number of almost concurrent requests go out to the same device, it tries to process all the requests in parallel, with AES encryption, then the Zabbix timeout value is reached before a response occurs. On the specific type of Cisco switch I'm most commonly running into this on, it has only a 600 MHz CPU with no AES offload, so querying for what is a few thousand OID's takes about 45 seconds. If I make such a query with snmpbulkget with SNMPv3 authPriv with AES encryption, it does complete successfully, and it does begin sending data immediately, it just takes a long time for all the data to be received. However, if I break these requests up into smaller simultaneous requests the way Zabbix is doing, it results in concurrent processing by the network device, and all the data does ultimately get returned, but there is a long pause before any of the requests begin receiving data, which is what I believe allows Zabbix's timeout to occur in zbx_snmp_get_values. This results in the items being marked offline temporarily, or discovery failing. My proposed solution remains the same, but would probably be safe to refine to only applying to SNMPv3 authPriv when AES is selected. |
