Is it possible to ping from Zabbix agent and pass that data into Zabbix server? I would like to be able to get response time from the agent.
I read that it is possible by using fping, would be great if someone could guide me to the correct path.
Thank you, Rijath Mohammed
While that is not currently available out of the box, you can implement such a functionality using a feature called "user parameters". This forum thread has a simple example:
UserParameter=myping[*],/etc/zabbix/fping -q $1;echo $?
Although for you the path to fping is likely to be /usr/sbin/fping or /usr/bin/fping.
You can read more about user parameters in the official manual: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/manual/config/items/userparameters .
While I haven't ever configured that, it would be similar on Windows - see this forum thread for some inspiration.
And if you would like to see this feature implemented out of the box, make sure to vote on this feature request.
