ICMP help

[n3o]

Hello all,

I have my Zabbix server at HQ and I monitor several servers worldwide.

ICMP Ping works great from HQ to the servers.

Now I want to monitor ICMP Ping from Server1 which is in Amsterdam to a Server2 in London. Both servers have zabbix agent on them but as I have mentioned zabbix server is based in a different location.

I went over zabbix and added an item in the Server1 with Type Simple Check:

icmpping[IP OF Server2]

and trigger:

{Server1:icmpping[IP OF Server2].max(#1)}=0

But nothing happens. I dont get any error.

I am on Zabbix 3.2.1

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Can this be done if you know or not?

This case in which zabbix server is at one location and there are multiple servers so it is possible that zabbix server isable to icmpping multiple servers but it is not possible to icmpping from one server to another, the case which you have mentioned

[Not Possible]
server1(host on zabbix server) -> (ping)->server2


[Possible]
zabbix_server -> (ping)-> server1
zabbix_server -> (ping)-> server2

Is their any different way I can achieve that without using icmpping.

Just for your information icmpping is part of agentless monitoring it doesn't require zabbix agent
