icmppingsec not working?

[tighep]

I cannot seem to get any data from icmppingsec. I can run the icmpping and see the box is up, but I get no data when trying to get the time. I can fping manually.

Same problem here ... it always gives 0 .
icmpping works though...

suid bit set on fping, user zabbix can run the commands, fping is set in $PATH of zabbix user (else icmpping wouldnt work of course )

If I run fping under user zabbix "with the reply time option", it works fine though...

any idea's someone ?

found it mate !

For type of information, Use float instead of integer

it works ;-) I also set a multiplier of 1000

Unfortunately it still does not work for me. I am using the float numeric type, and I also use 1000 as my multiplier. This box is running RedHat 5, and fping version "Version 2.4b2_to_ipv6 $Date: 2002/01/16 00:33:42 "

Hi

I noticed that icmpping stops to work when i upgrade zabbix from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4.
Even after upgrade from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5 situation does not change.

I try to create fake host "aaaaabbbbbb" or "blablabla" and zabbix always reports that this hosts are available, even when fping is runnable from zabbix user and reports that these hosts are unreachable or not resolvable.

I am going to compare source codes for pinger.c, may be this will help to find problem.

I am pretty sure you are wrong and you have data coming from all the icmpping related checks

Hi Alexei

I double check my Zabbix config and noticed next situation.

Items icmpping and icmppingsec work correctly.
Host availability for hosts with only these items now changed to Unknown.
When i add non existent host with this items i get next values:

icmpping = 0
icmpingsec = 0

Does this correct ?
I think that if icmpping = 0 i cant get values for icmppingsec because in this case value of icmppingsec must be infinitely or this item must not receive data.
In this case trigger with key check ".nodata" will start work.

Do i right or no?

What about availability for Hosts with only simple icmp checks?

Please read ZABBIX Manual, definition of icmppingsec. I see no point for discussion, this all is described in the manual and it works exactly as described (both icmpping* and nodata).
