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.
