Zabbix PING for Agentless Cameras
I need help to monitor agentless device through Zabbix server. I know about adding simple check items which include icmpping and than adding a trigger which works perfectly in my environment but I have more than 100 cameras in my network. If I will add each camera as new host , the list end up include 100 others server will make total of 200 hosts. I have one camera video recording server (know as Milestone server) where windows 7 OS having zabbix agent is installed. I want to achieve ping test for 20 cameras inside the milestone server by adding the ping test from that host itself and not adding the each camera as different host. Please advise. Moreover, all cameras do not have snmp feature enabled.
Regards.

If the host does 20 pings, each of which causes a specific event at failure (e.g. creating a file or logging an event in event viewer) then Zabbix can identify that event and react accordingly.
it's a fair bit of effort. probably easier to just setup the pings in Zabbix directly.
