Ping Node
More information about thresholds for packet loss and roundtrip average
The Ping Node service check uses the ping command to check connection statistics for a remote host. Packet loss and round trip average are analyzed.
Thresholds are defined in terms of
- rta: the round trip average travel time (ms)
- pl: percentage of packet loss
Default Thresholds
| Node | Status | Thresholds |
|---|---|---|
| ALL | Warning | rta=3000.0, pl=80% |
| Critical | rta=5000.0, pl=100% |
Metrics: The rta and pl values are returned.
