error message

I'm getting the error message:

cat: cannot open /tmp/zabbix_suckerd.pinger

every 5 seconds or so on my zabbix server (Solaris 8). How can
I correct/stop this?

Thanks.

Install fping

Install and correctly configure fping, or disable zabbix_suckerd's pinger thread in zabbix_suckerd.conf.

The message obviously appears because of missing fping.

Thanks. I had checked the zabbix_suckerd.conf previously and saw the lines
for ping commented out, so I thought it was not set.

I tried setting the ping time to 0, but it didn't like that. I installed
fping and that worked.

Thanks.

Commenting pinger related parameters is not enough! You must have

DisablePinger=1

to disable execution of fping.
