Return value of simple checks

[predatorz]

Hi all,

Just to clarify,

Why does simple check return value of 2 when 0 - server down, 1 - server running ?
e.g. pop, smtp, tcp, imap, and etc check ?

2 stands for unreachable ? How does zabbix determine server unreachable?

If so, does the below trigger works better compared to {Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}=0

{Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}<1 | {Hostname:icmpping.max(300)>1
Since value of 1 states that server is running

The 2 stands for timeout!

Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Can i just check what is the difference below triggers?
{Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}=0
{Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}#1
{Hostname:icmpping.min(300)}=0
{Hostname:icmpping.min(300)}#1
{Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}<1 | {Hostname:icmpping.max(300)}>1

Does all of it works the same way?

Why does zabbix simple check return value of 2 instead of 0 as the service is down ?
