Item prototype
The item prototype object has the following properties.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| itemid | string | (readonly) ID of the item prototype. |

string | Update interval of the item prototype. Accepts seconds or a time unit with suffix (30s,1m,2h,1d). Optionally one or more custom intervals can be specified either as flexible intervals or scheduling. Multiple intervals are separated by a semicolon. User macros and LLD macros may be used. A single macro has to fill the whole field. Multiple macros in a field or macros mixed with text are not supported. Flexible intervals may be written as two macros separated by a forward slash (e.g. {$FLEX_INTERVAL}/{$FLEX_PERIOD}).Optional for Zabbix trapper or dependent item. |
