[1.4.6] agent.ping (passive checks) are not executed
Hi
We are monitoring an HP server with HP Insight Agents and the zabbix agent installed.
To check whether the agent is running, we do an agent.ping from time
to time and defined a trigger containing nodata(600) to watch it.
The trigger is active meaning nodata(600) is true but the
agent is running because
returns a 1.
The wrong alarm seems to result from the fact that the access
to Windows SNMP (for HP Insight) is denied and an error is reported
on the Hosts web page. That means, that
the host is "not available" and no passive checks are done, at all.
Is that a bug or a feature ?
IMHO it's a bug. The agent is still running fine and reports a lot of data.
We didn't test it with 1.6.x, yet.

Norbert.
