Change the number of packets send in icmp ping template

[RomainS]

Hi, can we change the number of packets who are send by the icmp ping template in zabbix 5 ?

[Hamardaban]

read documentation!
icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]

Host accessibility by ICMP ping.	0 - ICMP ping fails 1 - ICMP ping successful	target - host IP or DNSname packets - number of packets interval - time between successive packets in milliseconds size - packet size in bytes timeout - timeout in milliseconds	Example: ⇒ icmpping[,4] → if at least one packet of the four is returned, the item will return 1. See also: table of default values.

I already read this part but that don't answer to my question.

I just wan't to know if in the template ICMP Ping we can change or even see how much packets are sends.

It's good that you read it - it's a pity that you didn't understand it.

pls read again:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/config/items/itemtypes/simple_checks

icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]

I read it and i saw the command: icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]
but i work with icmp ping template like i show you with the two screenshots of my previous message and i don't touch anything in this template i just wan't to know if i can change something like the Key field ?

I also saw the default number of packets who are send by zabbix server

In your second picture in the 3rd field down is where you would put that command. Change 'icmpping' to something like 'icmpping[8.8.4.4,1,2000,32,2000]'.
But it doesn't seem like you can modify that field in the default item for this.

Instead you can create a new item.
Click on your host, then on items and then Create item in the top right.
Give it a name.
Change type to Simple Check.
Change Type of information to Numeric(float)
In the 3rd field down named 'Key', enter the command icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>,<op tions>]
but change the fields to the values you want, like icmpping[8.8.4.4,1,2000,32,2000]

To modify this at template level [because I think that's what the OPs question was], I would try changing the template key from icmpping to icmpping[,10] and see if that works.
