Zabbix app is using zabbix user which (unlike root) does not have required permissions to use it. This results in the following error when admin attempts to ping a monitored host from web console:
Here's a suggested solution which could be integrated into the app:
cp /usr/bin/ping /usr/bin/zabbix_ping
chown zabbix:zabbix /usr/bin/zabbix_ping
setcap cap_net_raw+p /usr/bin/zabbix_ping
sudo -u zabbix zabbix_ping 127.0.0.1 # test if it works
# in zabbix: Administration/Scripts - change ping to zabbix_ping
Perhaps there should be an extra check (item maybe)/self-healing trigger if ping and zabbix_ping is always the same binary (in case of system upgrades).
