Template ICMP Ping issue

[AvivMalka]

Hello all,

I am using Zabbix 2.2.5.
I have an issue that when we backup our environment (vmware), there is a snapshot process which cause a ping loss (3-4 ping loss). When ever there is a backup process running, we get an alert via SMS/Email notify us that {HOST.NAME} is unavailable. It's really annoying so I would like to change this trigger:
{HOST.NAME} is unavailable
{Template ICMP Ping:icmpping.max(300)}<1

To something that only after 15 ping loss send an alert - I am not familiar how to do so - would appreciate your help..

Thank you all!

You can to use this trigger:

{Template ICMP Ping:icmpping[].sum(#6)}=0 | ({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1 & {Template ICMP Ping:icmpping[].sum(#2)}#2)

You can as well to change the ..."sum(#6)"... to a value bigger. This means that after 6 ping loss, the Zabbix will send an alert, and after 2 pings reachable you will receive an "ok"...

Basically is it!

Hi,

I've tried it, but after disabling for 10 seconds my server network card, it still sends HOSTNAME Unreachable.

{Template ICMP Ping:icmpping.sum(#100)}=0 | ({TRIGGER.VALUE}=1 & {Template ICMP Ping:icmpping.sum(#2)}#2)

This is the trigger I've putted

Thanks!

Well, strange...

Try to remove the host configuration and create it again. But this time, create the host and item manually without a default template. Use the same trigger bellow, we will test this way.
