Hi guys,
I now have couple of years experience using zabbix under linux and now I'm having trouble monitoring a Windows box.
Given the scenario: Zabbix server on the inside network, Windows machine on that network, too. The windows box is connected to the internet acting as gateway (but *not* doing NAT). The internet connection is kind of unstable and one of my first thoughts were "Hey, let's monitor the internet connection with Zabbix and if the appropriate trigger fires I can create an action for i.e. redial or reboot or whatever"
I tried almost anything - external script using the windows integrated ping: Is not reliable, the command returns even with a non reachable host somtimes 0, sometimes 1.
icmpping using fping in Windows is running now - but my crosscheck with an unreachable host returns 0 as well with a reachable host.
Anybody experience monitoring windows hosts? (I'm not very familiar with Windows - I can start solitaire and that's it)
