False packet loss in graphs

[David.adder]

Hi,

I have restored to the original icmp plugin. ICMP graphs are working now, but I see again the problem regarding not real packet loss (reason which I opened this post)

Thank you

I think check_icmp is going to need to be looked at. Your current (older) version is clearly having some issues accurately reporting packet loss, but the newer plugin (while it gets the packet loss correct) is adding two new datasources which messes up the graphing. A workaround would be to use the newer plugin and delete the historical data, starting new with the new plugin. Going forward everything will work but you will lose the past graphs.

Lost old data would be a big problem. Is it any possibility to upgrade our NagiosXI version? We are not able to do that, as our maintenance contract is obsolete, but this situation from the icmp plugin is very critical for us.

Thank you for your help
