As Henrik states use xymonping or better install fping from sunfreeware.com ( a little advice; set-uid the program) since using fping via RBAC didn't work for me. (I still testing why on xymon-4.2.3 Solaris Sparc 10 u6).

Have a nice day!

You cannot just use any "ping" tool - it has to be xymonping- or fping-compatible. The default Solaris "ping" is not.

Xymon expects a ping tool that will accept a list of IP-adresses to check on stdin, and writes the result on stdout in the form 172.16.10.100 is alive (0.03 ms) or 172.16.10.38 is unreachable

Hi,

xymonping works just perfect, thanks for the clarification.
