Hi Zabbix devs,
Recently https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-9497 was introduced with an ICMP Max retry option with the new key:
icmppingretry[<target>,<retries>,<backoff>,<size>,<timeout>,<options>]
What is currently still missing in this implementation however is to invoke a similar "max retry" option for icmppingloss and icmppingsec.
Important to note that these new icmppinglossretry and icmppingsecretry options should be sent in the same session as icmppingretry to only have a single ICMP Ping session to get all data.
Perhaps icmppingretry could be extended to request JSON data with all ICMP Ping results and then split up using dependent items? This makes for a more resilient and modern Zabbix approach to items.
