I am new to zabbix. Basically I want to monitor whether a ping becomes unresponsive of a server. So to try it out, I picked www.google.com(103.7.200.87) to monitor the status of the ping.

But my configuration gave me this error.

get value from agent failed. cannot connect to [[103.7.200.87:10050]:[4] interrupted system call

This is what I have in the log file

2363:20150419:202143.796 cannot send list of active checks to [127.0.0.1]: host [Zabbix server] not found
2363:20150419:202343.898 cannot send list of active checks to [127.0.0.1]: host [Zabbix server] not found

2356:20150419:202503.602 Zabbix agent item "system.localtime" on host "Google" failed: another network error, wait for 15 seconds

How should I resolve the error so that I can monitor the status of the ping of www.google.com?

The reason you're getting this error is that Zabbix is trying to look for an agent on 103.7.200.87 to connect to.

You'll want to use a simple check (icmpping)if you're just trying to ping a server without an agent.
