Hello,

Since the upgrade from 24.10 to 25.10, all ping services no longer work.

I am using the “Base-Ping-LAN” template and the “base-centreon-ping” command.

Linux ALMALINUX 9

Over SSH, all my pings work correctly. In my firewall, ICMP traffic passes correctly.

Version 25.10.4

Was there any change between 24.10 and 25.10?

How can this be resolved?

I also set up a new VM and a clean installation of Centreon 25.10, I added a host for ping and I'm having the same issue.

Bonjour

Depuis le passage de 24.10 à 25.10, tous les services ping ne fonctionnent plus

J’utilise le modèle “Base-Ping-LAN” et la commande “base-centreon-ping”

Linux ALMALINUX 9 

En SSH, tous mes pings fonctionnent correctement. Dans mon firewall les flux ICMP passent correctement.

Version 25.10.4

Y a t’il eu un changement entre 24.10 et 25.10 ?

Comment solutionner?

J’ai aussi installé une nouvelle VM et une installation propre de centreon 25.10, j’ai mis un hote en ping et j’ai aussi le même souci

Can you precise what you mean by “doesn’t work” ? do you have an error on the status, is the command failing ? etc.

Also for you command, can you replace it by 

sudo -u centreon-engine /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -H <<address IP>> -b 52

As centreon runs those commands with the centreon-engine user, it is possible that there is permission issues involved.

With this command

sudo -u centreon-engine /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -H <<address IP>> -b 52

 

Result

OK - <<address IP>> rta 45.797ms lost 0%|rta=45.797ms;200.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;40;80;0;100 rtmax=46.605ms;;;; rtmin=44.193ms;;;;

ok, so it’s not a permission problem it seems, what is the behavior on centreon that you would define as “broken” ? i need more details to see what can be non functionnal.

Maybe the discussion comes down to the packet size?

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -help

...
-b
Number of icmp data bytes to send
Packet size will be data bytes + icmp header (currently 68 + 8)
...

and the flexibility of changing that value on a template.

For example:
