Ping test

Hiya all,

We have a bunch of mobile 3G devices on the road that we need to ping every 10 minutes.
However, sometimes they're in a tunnel or in an area without coverage, so they will miss one or two tests.

What I would like is a ping test that gets a "bad" status when the test failed 3 consecutive times, without cascading seperate tests upon eachother.

Can that be done?

Cheers!
Kris

There are several ways to achieve this:
1. You may use "Use Normal ststus if" option located on test propertied dialog with expression like the following:
('%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') AND (%FailureIteration%<3)

2. You may modify action properties and set "Start when 3 consecutive 'Bad' results occur" option.

Please check the manual or visit our web site for more information at:

Start when N consecutive Bad/Good results occur option: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... #StartWhen

Again, a perfectly working solution.

Thanks!
