Zabbix use template ping

[christophe95]

Hi,
I am new to Zabbix, i just set it up.

I want to ask you help be cause i want to set on my Server Zabbix ping test.
I tried following this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-QS1I5mWk4

Fping is already installed on the server and the parameter location on the file server configuration is good.

When i go to "Monitoring" and "Latest data", under Google DNS i have nothing.
On the overview, i have ICMP Ping [no data] and {HOST.NAME} is unavailable by ICMP.

Thank your for help.

1) check /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log if you have any error messages about PING or FPING or GOOGLE DNS
2) check the permissions of FPING

[root@zabbix ~]# ls -la /usr/sbin/fping
-rw[B][U]s[/U][/B]r-xr-x 1 root root 30932 Apr 17  2012 /usr/sbin/fping

Hello aib, ty for your help.

It seems that my fping is in /usr/bin/

I have the following result for ls command:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 31528 Feb 2 2010 /usr/bin/fping
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 31560 Feb 2 2010 /usr/bin/fping6

In the log file, there is no error.

When i try to display the trigger on "monitoring" and "latest data" on my group "internet line" there is nothing.

I don't know where the problem is

If you have fping in different directory than it described in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf, you have to change keyword in config file OR copy fping in the directory where it has to be.

To get more information about Zabbix Server processes, change DebugLevel=4 in config file and restart the server.

Don't forget to return it back to DebugLevel=3 after debugging.

ICMP Google

Hi,

I'm new to Zabbix and I also need to monitor Google IP 4.4.4.4. I followed all the steps using Template ICMP Simple, Port 10050 etc... What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance
