host status monitoring is not working (1.1beta8)
I'm not sure if I didn't install it correctly or that it's working correctly, but any host will display an OK in a map (unless it's monitored with the agent installed, it exists, and there is an error).
I saw that all of the status for hosts in my maps read OK no matter what the Availibility or Error columns report on the Hosts page.
I added a fake host (monitored or not monitored) with a non-existant IP address on my work network and reports OK in the map and shows up as available on the hosts page even though it doesn't exist .
zabbix_server.log for test:
11:101623 Simple check [net.tcp.service[testkey,10.127.34.65]] is not supported
024483:20060511:101623 Parameter [testkey] is not supported by agent on host [test] Old status [0]
024483:20060511:101623 Enabling host [test]
fping result for 10.127.34.65:
[zabbix@zabbix ~]$ fping 10.127.34.65
10.127.34.65 is unreachable
I tried looking in the documentation and forums and couldn't find anything or am not sure what to look for.
What is the general method of monitoring host status (reachable vs. unreachable) using maps?
EDIT:
I have not been able to fully understand how the host status is determined on a map (snmp always says ok even if the IP number doesn't exist on the network). I'm also trying to find out how to make a map object in an overview map display the amount of errors in the nested map like in the Zabbix 1.1 screenshot. Can anyone help me?

Anyone?
