    Dependent Items ping loss

    I wanted to monitor internet availability by pinging some known providers. I thought that, by taking the response time of those DNS's, it would give some good indication of availability and how is performance. Actually, I find those results very good.
    But I also tried to monitor the possible packet loss of those pings. Then I created some dependent items with the following keys.
    Name Triggers Key Interval History Trends Type
    ICMP response time Cloudflare: ICMP loss CloudFlare icmppingloss[1.0.0.1,4,200,,200] 1w 365d Dependent item
    ICMP response time Google: ICMP loss Google icmppingloss[8.8.4.4,4,200,,200] 1w 365d Dependent item
    ICMP response time Vivo DNS: ICMP loss Vivo DNS icmppingloss[,4,200,,200] 1w 365d Dependent item
    ICMP response time Cloudflare Triggers 3 icmppingsec[1.0.0.1,4,200,,200] 5m 1w 365d Simple check
    ICMP response time Google Triggers 3 icmppingsec[8.8.4.4,4,200,,200] 5m 1w 365d Simple check
    ICMP response time Vivo DNS Triggers 3 icmppingsec[,4,200,,200] 5m 1w 365d Simple check
    They are all float values and ping loss is using a unit of %.
    It happens that the ping loss values that I receive are comming with some weird percentage, like 0.0239%.
    These values are actually the ping response times not the loss count.

    Inicially I thought that pinging something could retrieve the availability, the response performance and also the loss count. But how could I get these informations without creating a bunch of items?

    Is there a way to make that work, to calculate the loss count without creating new querys?

    Thank you.

    In my example above, I used the key "icmppingsec[1.0.0.1,4,200,,200]" for pinging and it sends 4 packets to CloudFlare DNS.
    Could I collect each packet response time individually to use them on a dependent item?
