icmppingsec not working

[gavinmead]

I've defined several simple checks using icmppingsec and they all show up in the que with this as the next check:

12.31.1969 19:00:00

There is never any data for these items.

Please, check this thread:

I hope it helps.

Thank you, I didn't even think to check the other forums. Oops!

fping is installed and working, but the only time the data is updated is when I restart suckerd. The data is updated once and never again. I've set it to 30 second checks and fping is defined as a 30 second interval in suckerd.conf. Any ideas?

Hmm... Any error or warning messages in zabbix_suckerd's LogFile?

The only thing appearing in the log file is when I started the suckerd process a few hours ago:

000934:20041118:130431 zabbix_suckerd #1 started [Alerter]
000935:20041118:130431 zabbix_suckerd #2 started [nodata() calculator]

Ok, thanks! I have to test the pinger carefully to figure out what could be wrong.
