Hello everybody! I am having issues to monitor any host with icmp. I am gettin the message this: "fping failed: "/usr/sbin/fping6: can't create raw socket (must run as root?) : Operation not permitted". I am not an expert. Could you please help me out?
It is Zabbix appliance 2.4, it is running on VM and I just run the command usermod -a -G zabbix zabbix to try to solve it, but no success.
