Hi Dojo,

Looking after a specific use-case where the round trip time of a few connections should never exceed a fixed value - when considering the "Ping Result" in the Generic Ping protocol, however, alarming seems to be possible only for the "fixed" discrete values expected when the PING is not producing a numeric result,
e.g. "Destination Host Unreachable" - I guess this is by design, yet for most cases the column of the "Ping Table" will report a value in ms - any hints? Using version 3.1.2.14.

I guess I'll need to use the Delta or "Avg Time" value - but I believe that will not allow to alarm on the "real-time" sample.

On a related note, is this separate "Ping Monitoring" package something available for evaluations?

Alberto,

You can also enter a numeric value in milliseconds. The screenshot below shows the default alarm template included with the Ping Monitoring package. The template uses numeric values. The element will alarm when the value reaches the threshold defined in the template.
