Count number of hosts not reachable in group

[[email protected]]

Sorry, I have never reported an issue before. I am a happy Zabbix user.

I just created an account in support.zabbix.com, but I have no clue how to make an issue in this ......

After you log in, go here and look for the "Create issue" link in the top right hand corner: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX

I logged an issue zbx-2980.
It has been declined (won't fix), stating that the field agent.ping should be userd instead.
But I disagree with that: agent.ping and status have different functionality in case a host is not reachable.

The field status will not be supported anymore in 2.0.
I have a workaround to reach my goal.
I made a calculated item agent.status wtith formula nodata(agent.ping,120).
This item will be 1 when the agent on a host could not be reached during 120 secs. Now I can use grpsum to count the number of not reachable hosts, and make a trigger if this grpsum exceeds a certain threshold.

Thanks to Aleksandrs Saveljevs !
