Description
This check will perform a Windows-based PING check to the destination server. It is similar the PING command through the command line interface of your Windows platform. It requires Windows running in English to work properly. It will send two pings and then it will check average response time.
Definition
Beside general settings for each check, which are similar for all checks, there are following Check Specific Settings which also need to be setup. In the Check Specific Settings, there are following fields you need to supply with parameters:
- Server - The IP address or DNS name of the server that needs to be Pinged.
- Set check status to - You set condition when ServersCheck will raise alert (DOWN status), or will set OK status for some results of checks.
You can optionally define to also receive an alert when the returned value is 0. Sometimes the PING command in Windows may return 0 as a value although the remote device is down. In order to solve this issue, you can set the option to receive an alert in that case. Beware that devices in the same network segment as ServersCheck (LAN) may return 0 when they respond very quickly. Please make sure to only set the flag when you do not expect 0ms as an average RTT from your device.
Returned Results
This check returns three results:
- Was a connection made to the server
- What was the average round trip time to the server expressed in ms.
If you have Fail On Value 1 activated then it will check against the average round trip time.
Graphs
When the graphing option is activated then ServersCheck will produce for this check 4 graphs: Service Level, Availability and Average Round Trip Time.
