Subject: ARP ping instead of ICMP ping for gateway latency check ?
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:52:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a57368df23e3c8048828a06c473456934eae54cb.camel@disroot.org> (raw)
Hi All
I recently changed my internet provider and I noticed that both the
gateway graph on cgi-bin/netother.cgi and my Zabbix gateway ping check
no longer work.
It seems that my current provider blocks ICMP pings on the gateway
address.
So I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to use arping instead of
normal ping to check the latency of the gateway? This should always
works regardless of firewalls of the provider.. I think?
I can quite easily change this Zabbix check. But I'm not sure about the
graph on netother.cgi; I can look into that if you all think that
change would be a good idea? Or if anyone could give me some pointers
on where to start looking?
Regards
Robin
