    Problem with pingers

    Have a nice day everyone!
    I`ve found a problem in my Zabbix 5.0.15. I have errors in zabbix_server.log like this:

    Code:
    1729:20211129:020354.329 fping failed: sh: /tmp/zabbix_server_1729.pinger: No such file or directory
    1669:20211129:020354.336 item "blah-blah-blah.local:icmppingsec[,20,100,,]" became not supported: fping failed: sh: /tmp/zabbix_server_1729.pinger: No such file or directory
    And I see blank spaces in graphs at this times which means "nodata" as I understand.
    Utilization of pingers less than 20% according to Zabbix health graphs.

    I can`t understand how to fix this, please help.

    Finally I`ve changed tmpdir in zabbix_server.conf and there no errors with pingers in log file last 22 hours. I think this is the answer.

      Is there something on your system that regularily cleans up /tmp directory?
      That zabbix_server_<pid>.pinger file is created there by zabbix server, it contais a list of hosts, that particular pinger process must check. It will be removed after checks are performed. But it looks like file has disappeared and fping cannot find it ...

        Thanks for the answer!
        I have already searched in this direction, but I have not found anything that could clear the /tmp folder. Anyway, I changed tmpdir in Zabbix configuration and I am waiting for errors (or not) in the log file now

      I`ve checked the log files and found that this error appears on 21/11/2021 at 06:09 for the first time. I am sure that nothing has changed on the server at this time or shortly before that
