Package: zabbix Version: 1:1.6.4-1 Priority: important Tags: patch If you enable Network discovery in Zabbix and change the discovery mechanism to ICMP (instead of using Zabbix Agent) it will not actually discover any hosts.
The reason for this can be found in /var/log/zabbix-server/zabbix_server.log: 23543:20090502:210053 /usr/sbin/fping: [2] No such file or directory But, in Debian, fping is installed at /usr/bin/fping The fix is really straightforward, a patch is attached which fixes this issue. I'm labelling this as important since it makes Zabbix autodiscovery useless for networks which are not running Zabbix/SNMP agents in all systems. Regards Javier
