1.8 ping response issues

[carbs]

I upgraded from 1.6.x to 1.8 this morning and noticed something very odd and just wanted to see if anyone had seen this before or maybe it's just something I'm doing wrong.

I have a number of WAN devices that I monitor the ICMP response time of, before the upgrade I was seeing normal response times, say 4ms for one, but after the response time is now 4 seconds and all checks are showing the same change... So of cause all the alarms are going off as they have exceeded 200ms.

Has the value returned from icmppingsec changed from seconds (what it was) to milliseconds by any chance as that would make sense? I checked the 1.8 manual and it still mentions seconds as the return value.

Here are the details of the item used to get the data:
Description: Ping response time
Type: Simple check
Key: icmppingsec
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Units: s
Use multiplier: Do not use
Store value: As is

Hopefully it's as simple as the value changing from seconds to milliseconds.

Thanks,
Mark

same here,
i upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8
and for my items icmppingsec, older values are still showing in milliseconds,
but values since upgrade are about the same values, but in seconds.

could one of you please report this on the tracker ? thanks

Problem with icmppingsec in the version 1.8

Hello good day I have a problem with icmppingsec ...
In the version of zabbix 1.8

my item is configured the following way:

Description: Ping response time
Type: Simple check
Key: icmppingsec
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Units: s
Use multiplier: Do not use
Store value: As is

This threw me wrong data .. ie increases me much data in ms ... as may be .40, 5.48, 11.71 and other higher values this is not normal because in the version 1.6.6 the values obtained were correct for this version ...

Try to also do this:
configure the item as follows:

Description: ICMP ping ms
Type: Simple check
Key: icmppingsec
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Use multiplier: Custom multiplier
Custom multiplier: 1000

Having to change the multiplier of staff for 1000 because the fping responds in milliseconds and icmppingsec as the name says it responds in seconds, so precisam multiply by 1000, to receive the correct value of the graphics ... but this does not work ... This worked perfect for me vercion 1.6.6 ...

This is a known problem, which is already fixed in pre 1.8.1. As a quick workaround you may set multiplier to 1000 in order to get 1.6.x behavior.

Thanks for the quick response.

I set the item looks like and put in the previous post, the two forms.

I can not get correct results ... ms is about going on that is that the data obtained by the agent are not deceados ... I can do ...

Aterior not understand your post ... I hope you can help me with my problem

thanks in advance

shouldn't it be multiply by 0.001 to get the correct value?

but then no value is shown for me (see attached picture), but no error is reported either.

[cadbury]

another solution is to write "ms" (like milliseconds ..) in your items Units,
it seems to solves it all

[eddy]

if you use 's' and multiply per 0.001 you get results rounded to milliseconds and buggy graphics

if you use 'ms' you get Kms when value > 1000

[cadbury]

sure, but its now a known bug, corrected for 1.8.1 version
it will be like in 1.6, result in seconds

for now 'ms' seemed the best solution to me
