Test a slow network

Post by julien »

Hi,

In fact i just want to test if my network is slow.

So i want to throw an action when :
2 or more consecutive pings tests replies > 400 ms but < 2000 ms

How can i do that ? The problem is concerning the number of consecutive test. I can't use %Recurrences% because my status is always "OK".

It might be a very simple question, sorry...

Thanks in advance

You don't want to start alert when reply time > 2000 ms or there are no reply at all? Why?
In such case you should setup timeout over 2000 ms and use "advanced" mode action with expression like ('%Reply%'>'400 ms') and ('%Reply%'<'2000 ms') and ('%LastReply%'>'400 ms') and ('%LastReply%'<'2000 ms')

Thank you i'm going to test this expression.

Yes i also want to start alert when reply time > 2000 ms or when there are no reply at all. But i also want to be alerted when network is slow.

Here we had a lot of network trafic issues and sometime network was really really slow. So we want to be alerted when this kind of issue appears.

So, you need 2 different alerts? Then you should set 2000 ms timeout and use 2 different actions
1) regular "bad" action
2) "advanced" mode action with simple condition like ('%Reply%'>'400 ms')
