Well, a command datasource ought to generate a /Cmd/Fail event if it
doesn't work. My guess however, is that ping succeeds, but it just times
out (not a failure of the command). You might want to look at fping
(IIRC) or at a script that outputs in the Nagios plugin format (or a
nagios plugin for that matter) to indicate a failure so an event is
generated correctly.
Output might be something like:
MEMCACHED OK - OK, Size checked; OK - at www.example.com:11211 |
size=0.00[%];90;95
But have it say PING WARNING etc...
Or look at using
http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_ping
check_ping for it maybe?

We're having some issues with a misbehaving Cisco 7301 which keeps updating the
routing one of our critical interfaces to null (happens randomly about once in
every 12 hour period). We've got a problem report in with Cisco to cover the
problem, but that's not what this is about.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up Zenoss to monitor that interface,
and trigger a critical event so that our on pager staff can reset the interface
until we have a permanent solution for the problem.
Is there a way to tell Zenoss to ping the sub-interface ip address in addition
to the Cisco's primary ip address? I've configured a command datasource using
ping to do latency and packet loss graphing on the interface, but no event is
triggered when the ping command fails.
Or if you have any other suggestions on how can insure that I an alert is
generated when that interface goes down, it would be much appreciated.
