I solved to change the line 311 of zabbix_maintenance.py of this collection from this

    start_time =  time.mktime(now.timetuple())

to this

    start_time =  int(time.mktime(now.timetuple()))

Any plans to fix this in the next release?

Hi @polcape

Are you able to create a PR for this? Thank you! 👍

Hi @dj-wasabi,
done with #665

[gmueller2000privat]

browsing through the code I think this change is not enough. At least update_maintenance needs also this change or could you please try this?

[polcape]

Probably @gmueller2000privat , in my script I am using only create_maintenance

@gmueller2000privat start_time is propagated to both create_maintenance and update_maintenance method calls. Do you happen to still get error when updating maintenance with the patch from @polcape ?
