Tolerate momentarily non-responding services

[freemant]

Hi,

Currently we're having false alarms when a host is busy, the services running on it may be unable to respond to the probes from the zabbix agent quickly enough. As a result, the agent thinks that they're down. Is there any workaround in v1.1? At present, we're using v1.0. Can we set the timeout in the zabbix agent? I think this is the easiest way to solve the problem.

Thanks!

check multiple values

I'm using something like

{host:icmppingsec.max(315)}=0.0

to skip short-time (< 5 min + \epsilon) packet loss on some of our monitored hosts. Also, the .min() and .last() functions may help.

Thanks. That's quite a good idea. At the same time I'm trying setting TimeOut to a larger value for the agent to see if it makes any difference.
