/tmp/zabbix_server_10829.pinger ??

[BusteR81]

Hi

Anyone knows what is "sh -c /usr/local/sbin/fping -e 2>/dev/null </tmp/zabbix_server_10829.pinger"?? My zabbix server is still working fine but I just want to know what this thread(process) means.

Cheers

I also have the pinger file on my server, but I don't see the fping process.

The file contains a list of the IP addresses from the hosts being monitored, as far as I can see.

This is used by zabbix pinger processes to ping a whole bunch of host.
The binary used to perform the ping is defined in the zabbix_server.conf (FpingLocation)
