Hi
I use icmppingsec check for response ping time and quality of path to monitored hosts.
So far I know for this type of check, zabbix uses fping for response ping time, fping displays results in "ms" so results can be in format "..xx.xxx".
In order to correctly display gathered data in zabbix we can set "Type of information" to "numeric (float)". but apparently zabbix changes this data to second by division 1000.
for example, zabbix gets amount of icmppingsec as 0.009 ms and then changes that to second 0.000009.because "numeric (float)" can support up to 4 number in float so zabbix display 0. this problem is caused some issue to statistic on network.
Only solution I found for this problem is "Use multiplier" set to "1000".
I think zabbix must to be more precise in numeric float.
Thanks for more help or guidance
