Hi there
I have 2 questions really.
1. How can I make zabbix respond quicker to host down events, at the moment, using agent.status I get a trigger in about 2 minutes after the host is unpingable. I would like to get this closer to 15-30 seconds if possible (i know its very quick and its likely to generate a lot of false alerts, but its a client requirement.
2. I have read that using agent.status isn't the best way to monitor agent/host availability. I tried using tcp.ping but when I pulled the network from the host, the value stopped updating (rather than going to 0).
Many thanks! (also zabbix is awesome fyi)
