Ping always returns 0

Zabbix server 1.8.6

Hi all

I cannot monitor hosts using simple ping.

IT always returns 0

my logs show

/usr/sbin/fping -q -C3 8.8.8.8 2>&1 </tmp/zabbix_server_21951.pinger

But when running this from the command line I get:

/tmp/zabbix_server_21951.pinger: No such file or directory

How is that possible, it is meant to create the file!

Larger snippet:


21951:20120823:120653.573 In get_pinger_hosts()
21951:20120823:120653.573 In substitute_simple_macros (data:'icmpping[8.8.8.8]')
21951:20120823:120653.573 In add_icmpping_item() addr=8.8.8.8 count=3 interval=0 size=0 timeout=0
21951:20120823:120653.573 End of get_pinger_hosts():1
21951:20120823:120653.573 In process_pinger_hosts()
21951:20120823:120653.573 In add_pinger_host() addr=8.8.8.8
21951:20120823:120653.573 In do_ping(hosts_count:1)
21951:20120823:120653.573 In process_ping() [hosts_count:1]
21951:20120823:120653.573 /tmp/zabbix_server_21951.pinger
21951:20120823:120653.574 /usr/sbin/fping -q -C3 2>&1 </tmp/zabbix_server_21951.pinger
21951:20120823:120653.577 End of process_ping()
21951:20120823:120653.577 End of do_ping():SUCCEED


Any ideas, this is such a simple thing and its driving me mental!

Also, watching the /tmp folder, no pinger files are created.

Pinger Files

Hey Alexander,

I just noticed that I am having this problem as well.
I have several hosts that are showing as being "Down"
however, if I fping them by hand everything works.

I just noticed on my server that the pinger files *are*
created, but they are deleted rather quickly as well
(a matter of seconds). I'm running 2.0.2.

See Yas!
