Hi All,

Can someone clarify for me how many "pings" scom sends to a network device via the icmp monitor? Can  this number be adjusted?

From my understanding, we have  the "interval" and the number of "samples" so a combination of these 2 will will basically pause an alert for a set  time... but how do i specify how many pings it sends?

When scom does send out its icmp pings, does it send them all at one time to all network devces? or does it work through a table somewhere?

Thanks for the help guy's

Regards,

have a read on the below

1) You should override the "ICMp Ping" Monitor with
 pings" scom sends :Number of retries
2) When scom does send out its icmp pings: ICMP send by monitor machine in predefined time.

Hi

Just override the ICMP Ping Monitor of the Network devices. See this post here from Cameron http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/cfuller/archive/2013/07/03/using-the-built-in-network-monitoring-within-operations-manager-2012-to-monitor-network-devices-using-icmp-only-mode-scom-sysctr.aspx

Cheers,

Cheers Guys, appreciate the help. The "retries" as suggested by system center guy does the job for me, also Stefan, thanks for the link! I had a read, makes sense.
