icmppingloss item in template

[morhaven]

Hello,

I currently have the packet loss working in zabix 1.8 with icmpping loss.
but this is doing only on 3 packets.. so lose 1 packet you get 33% fail.
using key: icmppingloss

I am trying to modify the key

I used this exactly:
icmppingloss[<ip>,<10>,<interval>,<100>,<timeout>]

when i do this it stops collecting data..no error generated.

since this is in a template for multiple sites.. I dont fill the <ip> <interval> and timeout field as i will use default. I assume leaving <ip> will take the ip of the host attached to template?

"Parameter can also be left empty, thus using the default value. In that case appropriate amount of commas must be added if any further parametrs are specified. For example, item key icmpping[,,200,,500] would specify that interval between individual pings is 200 milliseconds, timeout - 500 milliseconds, and all other parameters are left at their defaults."
