ICMP-Ping Check through Agent

[T-One]

Hello,

is it possible to set up an item with an active ICMP Check through the Agent?
I Have a cluster setup with a special interconnect line between two cluster nodes, those ips are just available through those two nodes and not pingable from the zabbix server but i should know if the connection between cluster1 and cluster2 over this interconnect-cable is available.

Thanks in advance

Yes. I use fping util.
chown root.zabbix /etc/zabbix/fping
chmod 6710 fping
permissions:
-rws--s--- 1 root zabbix 54759 Jul 9 14:59 fping

In /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
#fping
UserParameter=myping[*],/etc/zabbix/fping -q $1;echo $?

Whats the type of those UserParameters in the Zabbix Item frontend, are those active zabbix agent checks?
I'm not sure how to utilize those UserParameter-Commands via the webfrontend...

You can use zabbix agent or zabbix agent active.
Type: Numeric.
key: myping[172.16.36.76]

The ping works perfect, thank you.

i assumed your discription to a simple script that checks the state of a service and want to run it the same way as the fping bin.

The content of the script:

#!/bin/bash

CHECK=`cat /proc/drbd | grep UpToDate/UpToDate | cut -d: -f5 | cut -c1-17`
STRING_OK="UpToDate/UpToDate"


if [ "$CHECK" == "$STRING_OK" ] ; then
	# Is ok, returning 1
	echo 1;
else
	# Not ok, returning 0
	echo 0;
fi

It returns 1 if everything in DRBD is ok and 2 if there is a failure.

I Just added this script in the zabbix_agentd.conf as following:

UserParameter=monitor.drbd,/etc/zabbix/monitor_drbd.sh

But if i setup a item with key: "monitor.drbd" as type: "zabbix agent" and the information type to "Numeric" i just get a "Not Supported" error in the trigger overview of the running host.


EDIT: Got it it was a user privilege error
