Set a trigger when ping doesn't work for 10 minute

[zaki4594]

Hi, I created a trigger in Zabbix that will check the ping to a user for 10 minutes. And then it will send an email to my account if the ping is not successful. So for the trigger, i did it like this :

{Template ICMP Ping:icmpping.nodata(5m)}=1

And it didn't work, then I changed the expression to :

{Template ICMP Ping:icmpping.max(#5)}=0

Still it doesn't change anything. What I want to accomplish here is simply to set a trigger that sends an email if I can't ping a host for a certain duration.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Zaki

Hello zaki4594,

This actually isn't a purpose of the .nodata function. From the manual:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/appendix/triggers/functions

Note that this function will display an error if, within the period of the 1st parameter:
- there's no data and Zabbix server was restarted
- there's no data and maintenance was completed
- there's no data and the item was added or re-enabled
Errors are displayed in the Info column in trigger configuration.

I think that ICMP equivalent of not receiving the data is the icmppingloss key

Regards,
Alex!

What about something like ths:

({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0 and {YOURHOSTorTEMPLATE:icmpping.max(600)}=0)

So the first part is the ping (0 equals no ping) and also has to have that result for 600 seconds before firing....

Hi guys, anyone had this to worked? My objective is to receive trigger from ISP routers that is not responding to ping ONLY after 10 minutes.
I tried the suggestion of louis-m ({TRIGGER.VALUE}=0 and {YOURHOSTorTEMPLATE:icmpping.max(600)}=0) but the trigger sent every minute

Hi zaki4594 , were you able to have it worked? Thanks

Good day to all! Help me please. I had a problem with the trigger, there is a network node, when it is working the trigger is normal, when it disappears from the network it signals the problem to me. {Obnaruhenie Mikrotik: icmppingsec.last ()} = 0. And I need to do that the trigger would not react immediately, but if the network node is not in the network for more than 5 hours. how to do it, I do not understand. I tried to play with count and nodata, but it doesn't work. Now I have come to this decision, but it also does not work correctly {Obnaruhenie Mikrotik: icmpping.max (18000)} = 0
