Adjusting PING sensitivity

Most of our sites are connected over slow links. Is there any way to change the default ping timeout so that the Device Down alert does not fire off so quickly?

Applies to 15.x 14.x 13.x 12.x 11.x 10.x 9.x 8.x 7.x 6.x

It is possible to adjust the monitoring of ping or any other network service defined in NetCrunch. You can change the number of packets sent (Repeat Count/Additional Repeat Count) and the Timeout.

Monitoring parameters of the selected service can be changed globally in:

Settings->Monitoring->Auto Discovered Services

or locally for each node.
