why not milliseconds (simple check icmppingsec)

[jmb]

Hello,

I used the icmppingsec simple check the response time of a remote site, but I got only 0s. I saw afterwards that seconds and not milliseconds are stored in the DB.

Bug or feature? In LAN/WAN, you have response times < 100 ms. Storing response timea in seconds is pretty useless.

To have milliseconds, change the following line in src/zabbix_server/pinger/pinger.c

old : SET_DBL_RESULT(&value, mseconds/1000);
new : SET_DBL_RESULT(&value, mseconds);

and recompile. It works quite well.

Use multiplier
Custom multiplier: 1000
Units: ms

hI,

No using a multiplier does not work (I tested it). 0*1000 = 0. You need to modify the code to get meaningful data

Use multiplier as suggested! It works!

0 ms = 0 s, so what's wrong with 0*1000 = 0?!

I found the problem. The type of icmppingsec was set to integer 64bits instead of float...

Now it's working as expected. Sorry!

Alex,
Do we have trends working for float values now?
