How works ping.nodata value?

[Alexei]

Hi

I noticed that icmpping stops to work when i upgrade zabbix from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4.
Even after upgrade from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5 situation does not change.

I try to create fake host "aaaaabbbbbb" or "blablabla" and zabbix always reports that this hosts are available, even when fping is runnable from zabbix user and reports that these hosts are unreachable or not resolvable.

I am going to compare source codes for pinger.c, may be this will help to find problem.

Hey, no need to copy&paste your post hundreds of times! I repeat, you are wrong, the icmpping works absolutely fine. The fact that it does not change host availability does not prove anything, this is supposed to work this way.

Item check ".nodata" in triggers for icmppingsec does not work correctly because it always return values, even icmpping return value 0 - "Host unreachable".

You can check item icmpping in triggers.
