When using this type of active measurement, the agent will send an ICMP Echo request (ping) and await the reply.
You can specify the following parameters for ICMP application pings:
host=<hostname or IP address>
RequestSize=<Send buffer size in bytes (default is 32)>
Timeout=<Number of milliseconds that the agent will wait for a reply, the default is 5000.>
If a reply is received (before the timeout is reached), the round-trip time will be noted.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Response time | The number of microseconds that it took to get the response. Resolution of the timer varies greatly with the operating system. On computers running Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server the resolution is around 1000 microseconds. |
Status | Response is received before timeout ? 1 |
Success | Same as Status. |
Iterations | Number of times that the request has been issued. Always set to 1. |
