icmpping.max help

[xilix]

Hi -

I've searched and searched but I think I am having a problem with the syntax of one of my triggers. Here's what I would like to do:

Ping a host and if it's non-responsive for 120 seconds, activate a trigger.

If this host comes back up, I would like the notification to happen immediately (well, within the next fping cycle) and not wait the 120 seconds.

Searching the internet, I found this:

{hostname:icmpping.max(120)}<1

I've tried to enter the above in the ITEM - key field and also in the
TRIGGER - Expression box

When I save it, i get an error:

Incorrect item key "icmpping" provided for trigger expression on "<hostname>"

Also, I couldn't find any real documentation on icmpping.max

I am running v2.04

Any assistance is appreciated.

You are trying to create a trigger with a key that does not exist.
Check whether there is you have a item with the key "icmpping".

That was too easy! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Working great now.
