Is it possible to set Host as "Available" with just ICMP (Ping)

[Chris Ruettimann]

Hi Zabbix Forum Users

I have several Host to monitor with just a ping.

Problem is that this hosts (Template Module ICMP Ping) never show up with "Available" but always with status "Unknown"
So my question is: Is it possible to set a host that only uses the "ICMP Ping" checks as "available"???

I googled for about 30 minutes but did not find a useful solution for this problem, so any help would be great.
Thanks a lot
Chris

I to would like to know if this is possible. We have devices that simply do not have SNMP or credential. Still get uptime status with ICMP

For those that might care about a code-based solution, check my other post on zabbix forum
