SubAgent - icmp ping

[wdavids]

Hi,

I use ICMP Ping response time but it doesn't work it only show's 10k and also my Average response value is 0 is that correct cause it doesn't change on some routers, any ideas why it might show that. I have attached my config file and also my DCI settings.

Best Regards

Hi,

response time 10000 means "unreachable". Are you sure that devices will respond to ICMP ping from node with agent?

Hi Victor

I can ping the unifi device normally with ping command, could it be the device doesn't support that?

Hi,

what exact parameter you are using (ICMP.AvgPingTime, ICMP.LastPingTime, etc.)? And what is agent version?
Please also provide content of agent table ICMP.Targets (you can get it from command line with command nxget -T agent_ip_address ICMP.Targets).

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor

Thanks for the reply, I am using the ICMP.PING parameter that is showing the value 10k, the version of the agent is 2.2.6.
I only get the following commands nxagentd    nxappget    nxapush      nxencpasswd

Hi,

you should run nxget command on your NetXMS server - it is command line tool that connects to agent and requests given parameter. It is also strange that average ping time is provided, so agent definitely can ping targets in background. Please also try to request Icmp.Ping with nxget and show actual DCI configuration.

Hi,

for ICMP.Ping request please use this command:

nxget 10.10.0.101 'ICMP.Ping(10.10.2.125)'

-T option instructs nxget to request table.

Thanks for the quick response, I get the value 1, have also attached an image.

So looks like agent actually can ping target and returns correct value. Most likely problem is in DCI configuration. Please show screenshot of problematic DCI properties.

Hi,

are you sure that DNS name swi-hp-304-2 can be resolved from machine where ping subagent runs?
