    How to detect Ping Flapping with Zabbix

    Hello everyone !

    I am actually deploying Zabbix on a large park of foreign hosts and I have some questions about the icmpping command !
    I've been deploying and testing a Hostdown alert trigger system which works with this command : {Template Mikrotik RouterOS:icmpping.sum(#4)}=0
    and it works perfectly.
    But I now want to have a "flapping host alert" to detect instability of an host, for example i want my server to send me an alert if I lost more than 20% of my pings requests.
    Does someone have an idea to make it work?

    Thank you !

    Why not to use the built-in icmppingloss simple check ?

    icmppingloss[<target>,<packets>,<interval>,<size>,<timeout>]
    Percentage of lost packets. Float. target - host IP or DNS name
    packets - number of packets
    interval - time between successive packets in milliseconds
    size - packet size in bytes
    timeout - timeout in milliseconds
