If any of you know if there is a possibility of implementation "Force check now" just like in Nagios? the problem is that some check have a high update interval time for example 10 minutes, and sometimes there is a need to test something quickly.

In Zabbix Jira i found something like that's : https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-473

Please give me some advice

Regards Mick

  • There is currently no such feature and ZBXNEXT-473 is the correct place to track its progress.

On the server, there is a command `zabbix_get' which exactly try the value of the key immediately.

sudo zabbix_get -s hostNameOrIP -k keyName

So easy!

  • @Mick, I don't know any way in graphical except setting time interval for 5 seconds or less or more in item's configurations.

  • This won't actually make the zabbix_server check the item, and put it in the database. It will only check it from the command line and return the data to the command line.

One (quirky) way might be to visit the configuration for your problematic host, then choose Triggers, then configure the alarming trigger, choose Expression constructor and from there Test.

I know this might not perform exactly what you are after for, but it's better than nothing.
