Host Availability "Unknown"

[f.ingretolli]

Hi!
I've added a new host by IP address, but in the Availability column
its status is "Unknown". Port number is 10050, version of the agent is
1.0.0, server version 1.1bet2.

Agent is running on the host and the configuration file is the same of other hosts that are ok.
Ping is ok and telnet from server to the host responds on
port 10050. There is no firewall between the two.

Log file looks like

[12-Dec-2005 11:01:45] Log file opened
[12-Dec-2005 11:01:45] Collector thread initialized successfully
[12-Dec-2005 11:01:45] Zabbix Win32 Agent started
[12-Dec-2005 11:36:05] Processing took more then 100 milliseconds (125 milliseconds)
....

I tried to add the host also by dns NAME, but the Availability is the same
(Unknown). Host's operating system is WinXP (on Win2003Server is the same).

Maybe I forgot something!!?? Can anyone help me please?
thank you in advance...

Ok. I resolved by myself...

The Availability column, of Host Tab, gets his value from the value
of ping item.

So only if you define the key "ping" (...), and Zabbix Server gets value 1,
Availability of the Host becomes not yet "Unknown" but "Available".

Maybe someone could help me..

in my case i got template host with 2 items icmpping and icmppingsec.when i create hosts with linkage to my template, values for new host became correct (icmpping = 1), trigger like {host:icmpcheck.last(0)}=1 get true. everything OK, but when i look on availability report i found that host availability in plain text format 100% - true, 0% - false, 0% - unknown
and graph shows me that my host availability are 100% unknown!!

what is the problem?

PS zabbix version is beta7

I have Problems with my trigger {tmpl_std:icmpping.avg(60)}=0 ,
it was always in state "UNKNOWN".

When i changed it to {tmpl_std:icmpping.last(0)}=0 ,
they all became FALSE.

Is it a feature or a bug that avg() doesn't work for icmpping?

Ths behaviour ovccured on my zabbix 1.1.3 and 1.1 server...

The avg() is not supported for values having integer type. I would use something like {tmpl_std:icmpping.max(60)}=0

Please Alex, I spent too much time with similar problem. It is really hard to find source of problem when I see only UNKNOWN value... I already made suggestion to make a page where I can evaulate any expression by hand. And if it does not show value, it should write, why it was not computed.. Or even more, like items have string 'error' , this should be visible in triggers too.. Each unknown value of triggers makes me ugly :)

thanx!
