    Truenas Scale - Zabbix App Problems Fping/ICMP

    Hi,

    I have just installed the Docker App for Zabbix on my Trunas Scale Homeserver. But i am running into some problems. All ICMP monitoring seems to fail. SNMP works fine however.

    I have had a poke about and went into the Shell for the Zabbix app. From the command line Ping works fine. However fping always shows Host Unreachable. Even when trying localhost.

    $ bash
    zabbix@f501d68535a1:~$ ls
    dbscripts enc enc_internal export mibs modules snmptraps ssh_keys ssl
    zabbix@f501d68535a1:~$ ping localhost
    PING localhost (::1) 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from localhost (::1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms
    64 bytes from localhost (::1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms
    64 bytes from localhost (::1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.049 ms
    ^C
    --- localhost ping statistics ---
    3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2004ms
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.035/0.043/0.049/0.006 ms
    zabbix@f501d68535a1:~$ fping localhost
    localhost is unreachable
    zabbix@f501d68535a1:~$
    ​

    I am sure this is a simple config error on my part, but I can't seem to find it. I have looked at the fping location in the zabbix_server config files. The only mention I can find is in zabbix_server_location.config Which i appear unable to edit or modify as there appears to be no editor in the docker container at all (vi, vim nano all appear to not be installed)


    ### Option: FpingLocation
    # Location of fping.
    # Make sure that fping binary has root ownership and SUID flag set.
    #
    # Mandatory: no
    # Default:
    # FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping

    FpingLocation=${ZBX_FPINGLOCATION}

    ### Option: Fping6Location
    # Location of fping6.
    # Make sure that fping6 binary has root ownership and SUID flag set.
    # Make empty if your fping utility is capable to process IPv6 addresses.
    #
    # Mandatory: no
    # Default:
    # Fping6Location=/usr/sbin/fping6

    Fping6Location=​
    Hope this is a quick fix and something i am just missing in the zabbix config somewhere. Thanks
