problem with icmpping

[mhabdank]

I'v created item which is using simplecheck icmpping (attached).
in zabbix_server.conf
FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping

on server when i run:
[root@zabbix ~]# su zabbix --shell=/bin/bash
bash-4.1$ /usr/sbin/fping 10.5.172.5
10.5.172.5 is alive

but item always see host as down (has value 0).
how should i use this item correctly?

best regards

Looks like the Key does not contain the actual address to ping.

You can use real addresses or macro values, handy in templates:

icmpping[8.8.8.8,4,,,,avg]
icmpping[{IPADDRESS},4,,,,avg]
