ICMP PING Zabbix practical example

[RaulChiarella]

How are you all doing?

Can someone give me a practical example of a icmpping key for Zabbix?
I am trying to do a icmpping check using Zabbix but i am failing miserably...
Here is the command i am trying: zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k icmpping[142.251.128.68,10,500,64,100]

I expected a return of latency to Google Server, instead i received ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED: Unsupported item key.

On Zabbix docs the syntax says: icmpping[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]

I renamed accordingly (Command above, line 5). I also tested this using the Web Panel of Zabbix and i got the same message (Key on the host)
Thanks in advance...

icmpping belongs to simple checks performed by zabbix proxy or zabbix server - not agent - thats why its not supported in your case

I see! Thanks a lot!
I will try using the fping tool as described in the documentation you sent.

Have a nice day!

Also you need to use icmppingsec, not icmpping, if you want to get the latency. Add an item to your Zabbix server with key value something like this:
icmppingsec[google.com,3,1000,68,2000,avg]
