Hi All,
Every once in a while, I insert a route on my zabbix server to simulate a WAN outage to double check my dependencies. I do this by adding:
ip rule add blackhole 172.23.99.0/24
Then I wait for the allotted time for the triggers to occur. Once I've given it ample time, I adjust the triggers if needed and then I remove the route:
ip rule delete blackhole 172.23.99.0/24
The above method WORKS just fine on Zabbix 2.0.X.
When attempting that on Zabbix 2.4.x, the Items all turn grey, and are never actually updated with a '0' result. The mouse-over of the error says "fping failed: 172.23.99.X : "
Here are the items:
Ping Latency: icmppingsec[{HOST.IP},,,,50,]
Ping Loss %: icmppingloss[{HOST.IP},4,,,50]
Ping Status: icmpping[{HOST.IP},4,,,50]
Why is this now occurring, and how do I fix it or work around it?
