icmping error

icmping with this kind of trigger:

(({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].last(0)}=0)&({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].last(1)}=0)&({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].last(2)}=0)&({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].last(3)}=0)&({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].last(4)}=0))


Actually, I receive false messages like SRV PING PROBLEM, and actually the host is up.

What this command do actually?
5 ping every 30s and if all are down send email with host down or what?

Ps

Oh.. and PS:
If I will wait 1 month and nobody answer me, maybe I could chose the Nagios solution for monitoring.

Anybody here?

You are free to choose any solution you want.

Your trigger can be simplified:

(({SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,].max(#4)}=0

The command executes normal ping (well, fping actually) sending 5 pings with interval of 30 milliseconds. If 4 last consecutive pings fails the trigger will be activated.

Ok, thank you very much, but:
my command should works fine, right?

Because I have false alerts, and is not nice to receive DISASTER for a principal node and after 1 min.. OK.

What is this?

What is this?

Yes, you command should work fine. Note that ping is not a very reliable way of checking availability, ICMP ping packets are designed to be lost in case of various network issues.

Anyway have a look at the plain text data of SRV:icmpping[,5,30,,] to see why the trigger is activated.

[rsuceveanu]

ok

ok, one more thing:

please tell me there are 30milisec or 30s?

Zabbix uses fping command instead of ping. You can find it in help document.

Ping - errors

Ok, I tried differed commands of ping, nothing works fine.
I need one ping command in zabbix to see if the host is up or down, without false alarms. 5 ping every 30s and if all are down to send me emails.

Now I have disaster alerts because this crashed ping commands from zabbix are false.

If I try with icmppingloss and the same command that you give it to me, should work?

[rsuceveanu]

PingLoss

{SRV:icmppingloss[,5,,,].max(#4)}=0

This will work?

[rsuceveanu]

ping loss

ping loss not works with default configuration.. what should I do?
Show me just 0 to output, actually the test host is down and should return me 100..
