Notes
Note
- Useful for setting hosts in maintenance mode before big update, and removing maintenance window after update.
- Module creates maintenance window from now() to now() + minutes, so if Zabbix server’s time and host’s time are not synchronized, you will get strange results.
- Install required module with ‘pip install zabbix-api’ command.
