Hi,
Thanks for your comment. First be sure that you can ping your Windows machine via Zabbix server (go to the console and ping from there). Second: sometimes, depends on what you put as the interval time, you need to wait to database be updated.
If you have still the problem, please let me know
Thanks

Hi mate. Thanks for your comment. Happy you like the videos :-) And thanks for letting me know that
Hey Alireza...how are you?...Bro, I wanna ask you something about templates, specifically with ICMP Template...this template has 3 items, but I don't really know how to work with them, I mean, how to configure it to receive the correct alerts about some issue as could be Ping loss for specific time, or when the ping response time be too high. Men, again, thanks a lot for your help and your videos! =D
@Juan,
Hi. Thanks, I am good hoping you are doing well. I am not sure if I get the question accurate. Assuming you want to know if a specific host goes down, after maximum 15sec you realize.
There is an "Update interval (in sec)" for each item dose that. By default the time interval is 60s but you can change it. Please note that Zabbix sends ping request on the each interval time (say for interval=60s, each 60s Zabbix sends ping request) so if you decrease the interval you may get a lot of ping traffic.
if it dose not help, please ask the question more specific.
Thanks
Hey Alireza...thanks for your answer...Well, I really want to know how to use the ICMP Template items. For my production environment, I need this configuration: Send a PING every 30 seconds...if 4 ICMP packets get lost (120 seconds), I need to receive an email alert (the email alerts are solved), but I need to configure that if the device that I'm monitoring doesn't responds during 120 seconds, send the email alert...summarizing, I really want you to let me know how to configure and understand correctly the ICMP template, and what means each field on each item of this template.
I hope you can help me...thanks a lot for your help and time!!!
@ Juan
Hi,
Sorry for the delayed respond. I am quite busy
For this need, you wont need to use ICMP template. I think when you are creating a new host, you can define what is the interval time for ping and when the device goes down, you can set the alert. I think I have done the same scenario in Alert video
Hi Alireza appreciate for your work,
I tried to install Zabbix agent on Windows server 2012 R2, but it is throwing an error " "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Do you have any idea why i am getting this error, i tried changing registry also but still zabbix agent service is not starting.
