From: "Raynaud Alexandre" To: Cc: Subject: RE: ports/176439: net/fping: Possible Fping incompatibility with FreeBSD Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 10:52:39 +0100 I have only tested ports/net-mgmt/zabbix2-server (actually our zabbix = production server) Zabbix works perfectly, nothing wrong in that port. The only issue is = Zabbix icmpping simple check that relies on fping. And because fping = gives inconsistant results (as you describe it has to do with arp = cache), Zabbix icmpping simple check is not reliable to check host = availability.
