Unreachability treat a host as unavailable

[PavelN2005]

Is this parameters below are relevant for monitorings servers using <Simple Check> using <icmpping> command?

# After how many seconds of unreachability treat a host as unavailable
UnreachablePeriod=300

# How ofter check host for availability during the unreachability period
UnreachableDelay=60

# How ofter check host for availability during the unavailability period
UnavailableDelay=60

No, they are useful when using ZABBIX or SNMP agent only.

[PavelN2005]

Is there is any way to make it useful for <simple check>?

[Alexei]

Logic for simple checks is slightly different, yet I think that some network errors while retrieving simple checks must affect host status. Hmm... I have to think about it

[PavelN2005]

Its very important for us because we have a lot of equipment that can respone only for ICMP requests.
Thank you.

[Alexei]

Why do you want to rely on the "status"? I would suggest using your own trigger for ICMP data which would define if a host is available or not.

[PavelN2005]

Today we are using triggers like this
{Keepalive_t:icmpping.last(0)}=0

in case it's happening its means server unreachable, but we are monitoring a lot of servers in internet and there is a lot of packet lost that's why not each time server response.

You could use:
{Keepalive_t:icmpping.max(#2)}#1

ie: "last two pings failed"
This may reduce the number of false positive you get.

Thanks i'll try
