ICMP protocol allows you to test if the specified host is availablesavailable. During the test always the response time is mesuring always mesured but not always the results are saved. 

Info
titleImportant

Some hosts may have defined firewall rules to block ICMP packets. In these situations we will NOT be notified about the server response time, and even if the host is alive, you will be informed that the host is down.

Protocol settings

Pulse - Monitoring Tool for JIRA provide provides the availability of the host mechanism.

You can define:

  • the tested host address,
  • "correct" the expected response time,
  • success a successful service status strategy,
  • the timeout.

If the timeout is reached , and you still do NOT have a response, it means that the remote host is down or over firewall. Timeout protect The timeout protects your service against the eternal from endless waiting for the response - after that period your service will be notified about the unavailability and the next test will be executed. 

...

  • all or any of attempts succeded,
  • we want to use minimal, maximal or average test values to compare with yoursyour values.

Examples

Below you can see sample an example of the ICMP protocol configuration in Pulse - Monitoring Tool for JIRA.

There are a few stepst elements to take test ICMP services test.

They include:

  • send an ICMP packet to the remote host,
  • the remote host can NOT CANNOT have the ICMP packets blocking rule and have has to be alive,
  • the remote host have to send response,
  • the average time of all attempts between your request and the host response have to be lower than 20 (implicitly miliseconds).

Test The test will be successful if any of all (in this case any of five) attempt finishes successfully. Timeout The timeout for each of attempt can't cannot exceed 0,.5 second (i.e. 500 millis). In addition, we checked the "Collect test history" option which means that all test results will be stored in the database. It enables a status history analysis. Stored detailed results are downloadable as *.csv a CSV file.
