I've got an interesting situation. I've got several remote firewalls that I'm monitoring. I've got two ping related items for each. The items keys are simply "icmpping" and "icmppingsec" without the [] or any additional variables.
Where things get weird is that there are times that icmpping returns 0 while at the same time icmppingsec returns valid data.
This is one of the sites that just shows icmpping. The above graph shows that at 8:05 am, icmpping returns 0 consistently, yet icmppingsec is returning values between 84 and 98 ms.
My understanding is that fping is used for both items, so how can it get a 0 response (dead) while still getting a response time?
I can also SSH into my Zabbix server and run fping manually and consistently returns X.X.X.X is alive for the above firewall.
Some of my other hosts will show icmpping going back and forth between returning 1 (Alive) and 0 (unreachable) yet like above, icmppingsec returns consistent valid data.
Any ideas what can be causing this and what direction I might head off to fix this?
