Overview

    Instead of ‘86400’ for the number of seconds you can simply enter ‘1d’. Suffixes function as multipliers.

    Time suffixes

    For time you can use:

    • s - seconds (when used, works the same as the raw value)

    • m - minutes

    • h - hours

    • d - days

    • w - weeks

    Time suffixes are supported in:

    • trigger constants and function parameters

    • constants of calculated item formulas

    • parameters of the zabbix[queue,<from>,<to>]

    • last parameter of aggregate checks

    • item prototype configuration (‘Update interval’, ‘Custom intervals’, ‘History storage period’ and ‘Trend storage period’ fields)

    • network discovery configuration (‘Update interval’ field)

    • web scenario configuration (‘Update interval’, ‘Timeout’ fields)

    • action operation configuration (‘Default operation step duration’, ‘Step duration’ fields)

    • slide show configuration (‘Default delay’ field)

    • user profile settings (‘Auto-logout’, ‘Refresh’, ‘Message timeout’ fields)

    • graph of Monitoring → Dashboard (‘Time shift’ field)

    • Administration → General → Housekeeping (storage period fields)

    • Administration → General → Trigger displaying options (‘Display OK triggers for’, ‘On status change triggers blink for’ fields)

    • Administration → General → Other (‘Login blocking interval’ field and fields related to communication with Zabbix server)

    Memory suffixes

    Memory size suffixes are supported in:

    • trigger constants and function parameters

    • constants of calculated item formulas

    For memory size you can use:

    • K - kilobyte

    • G - gigabyte

    • T - terabyte

    Other uses

    Unit symbols are also used for a human-readable representation of data in the frontend.

    In both Zabbix server and frontend these symbols are supported:

    • K - kilo

    • M - mega

    • G - giga

    • T - tera

    When item values in B, Bps are displayed in the frontend, base 2 is applied (1K = 1024). Otherwise a base of 10 is used (1K = 1000).

    Additionally the frontend also supports the display of:

    • P - peta

    • E - exa

    • Z - zetta

    • Y - yotta
