icmpping on openSUSE 10.2 not working

[Dominic.David]

Hello,

I'm using Zabbix 1.4.2 on openSUSE 10.2. Everything is working fine but icmpping makes some problems.

I have done the following steps:

chown root:zabbix /usr/sbin/fping
chmod 710 /usr/sbin/fping
chmod ug+s /usr/sbin/fping

Set the path to fping in the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping

I can run fping with the Zabbix User

zabbix@zabbix-server:~> /usr/sbin/fping google.de
google.de is alive
zabbix@zabbix-server:~>

But in my "Last data" list I only see one check at 10 Sep 18:46:53.

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

MfG
Dominic

Hi Dominic,

I had similiar problems with Suse 10.2
That´s how it is now.
-rws--s--- 1 root zabbix 26780 Nov 25 2006 fping
I understand you have the same setting.

After a while I noticed, that the problem is related how zabbix server
is started.

Because I was not familiar with the stuff I started as always with a script from
inittab.
But that seems not to work in the same way as in older Suse versions.

I have now the attached scripts in use, that I have configured
with the runlevel editor.

It seems to be a difference, how zabbix server is started.
Let me know, if you find out why it is so.
