Issue with ICMP Monitor

Elastic Observability Synthetics

Hello,

I was wondering why I am getting an error with a specific icmp monitor. I am on self managed and running on private location. Elasticsearch and kibana version 8.18.0.

For example: I only have the IP address and I placed a identifier for the monitor name:

I am leveraging fleet managed elastic agent with synthetics integration to host this private location on a VM.

Here’s the strange part, on the actual VM (where synthetic’s private location is hosted), I pinged the ip address directly and no issues:

I figured it out:

It seems to be a syntax issue where Synthetics ICMP monitor doesn’t recognize when an IP address contains a zero prefix:
X.X.01.X → It works with Ping command

The fix → X.X.1.X
