[Hyperic-hq-discuss] ICMP Ping plugin not functioning

[Brad F. <br...@br...>]

I have 3.0.1 installed on the HQ server. Agent, Shell, Server, all reporting for duty.

I wished to use the server platform's agent to ping a remote system. Accordingly, I copied the ping-plugin.xml from $HQ_AGENT_DIR/pdk/examples to $HQ_AGENT_DIR/pdk/plugins. I restarted HQ server and agent.

The ICMP Ping service now shows up as something you can create in the Inventory tab of the server platform's agent. Goody!

I can successfully create a service of type ICMP Ping, but upon visiting the Configuration Properties area, I am presented with "Configuration Properties for the server are not set.Please configure the server before configuring this service.".

I freely admit I have absolutely no idea what it's asking for. In v2.7.x, I simply copied the plugin and it worked out-of-the-box. I have searched the v3.x online documentation, and the only hits for "ping" related to the shell. Has v3.x introduced further configuration requirements for this plugin?
