Subject: zabbix_agentd: Fix gateway ping errorhandling
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0dcda07fec48da5f969ccc5ee771e0cf376ab328;p=ipfire-2.x.git

zabbix_agentd: Fix gateway ping errorhandling

Fixed gateway ping items:
 * ipfire.net.gateway.pingtime: now always returns 0 when fping does not return the expected stats
  * ipfire.net.gateway.ping: prevent possible stderr messages from slipping in the output
  * ipfire.net.gateway.arpingtime: now always return 0 when arping does not return the expected stats.
  * ipfire.net.gateway.arping: now effectively returns 0 when arping fails. Previously this returned the arping error making Zabbix fail to detect gateway down events.
