hey guys, im brand new to zabbix.
while playing around with the latest zabbix alpha release, i tried adding a netscreen router from scratch, but i couldnt seem to get the icmpping check working. here are the steps i took. hopefully someone can point out what i did wrong:
in the hosts section, i added the netscreen device. i told it to use the ip address, since we dont have a dns entry for this guy. i left the default setting in the port field., since im not exactly sure what this is for (something to do with running the agent perhaps?). status is set to monitored, of course.
next i went to the items section and created a simple check for this host using the reference at http://zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/config_items.php. i set the key to icmpping. i also created an item to check http.
when i go back to the hosts section, i see that the availability of my new host is 'available,' so thats good.
now im looking at view -> latest data for my new host, and i see that the http test is working (last check = 06 Jun 12:54:35), but i dont see a 'last check' for icmpping.
did i do something wrong, or did i just find a bug? =)
