3. Configure the parameters to be used by the selected check. Click
on 'Next' to continue. The ICMP/Ping check requires the following
parameters:
• Make sure you…..ping the target computer – Specify whether the
ping will succeed or fail if a ping reply is received.
• Number of Echo requests to send – Specify the number of
consecutive pings to be sent (e.g., 4)
• Minimum number of expected replies – Specify the minimum
number of replies that must be received in order for the check to
succeed. (e.g., 4)
• Timeout (m.sec) for each reply – Specify the expected response
time (in milliseconds). This is the time that the check will wait for a
response to an echo request (i.e., the time between successive
echo requests).
NOTE: On a congested network, echo response packets may take
longer than 3 seconds to be delivered. To avoid false alarms, adjust
the timeout value according to the traffic present on your network.
