Problem with ping script - zabbix server

[andersguitar]

Hi. The problem is: when i try to test a host on map with 'ping', if not is a operational system (like Windows / Linux), i get this error:
ping: unknown host *UNKNOWN*

Zabbix v: 2.0 / Ubuntu 10.04.

Did you enter the correct name for the box you like to ping?
If you are using hostnames like mybox.local.net does host/nslookup from commandline return legit values?

I am having the same problem.

Mine seems to happen on my snmp devices. I tried to give them agent interfaces ip addresses and it didn't change anything.

I am also using 2.0 but on Centos 6.2.

I was wrong. Adding the IP address to the Agent Interface does fix the problem. You have to wait about 30 seconds for the changes to take affect on the map.

Looking at the code, it looks like the the command's are actually executed using the Zabbix Server and not php. Maybe the info is cached for a short period of time.

Maybe I should report a bug???
