How do I write a ping item that will only trigger if a few pings are missed? Right now I have icmpping[,5] with a period of 300 seconds, but it seems if it just misses one ping the device is listed as down for 300 seconds. I'd rather have it trigger if it missed 5 pings in a row or 5 within 300 seconds. How do I do that?

Hello,
Are you sure you're just missing some packets and not all five?
According to https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../simple_checks,
"Example:
⇒ icmpping[,4] → if at least one packet of the four is returned, the item will return 1."
Try using icmppingloss (together with the current check) the see how many packets you're really missing in each sequence.
