Hello to everyone!

Do you know how many packets Zabbix sents using the ICMPPING key to verify if a device is up? It's possible to set the number of packets to send?
In a intense traffic situation is common to lost some ICMP packets, so I often receive alarms that are not true...

Thanks!

Rather than modify the function of the item, modify the function of the trigger instead. You can leverage last(0) and prev(0) via a boolean such that if both have failed then alert, but not if just last(0) failed.
