Ping Interarrival Jitter

The Ping Interarrival Jitter monitors for variances in results returned from multiple pings to a specified device.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

• Hostname/IP Address to Ping. Enter the hostname or IP address of the target device to monitor. You can also enter the %Device.Address or %Device.HostName percent variable to configure the monitor to ping the device to which the monitor is assigned.
• Timeout. Specify the maximum length of time in seconds to wait for the ping reply message after sending the ping (ICMP echo).
• Retries. Enter the number of times WhatsUp Gold attempts to send the ping (ICMP echo) messages.
• TTL. Enter the number of routing nodes that can forward the ping data before it is discarded.
• Payload Size. Enter the length in bytes of data to be sent in the ping message and returned in the ping reply message.
• Jitter is greater than X ms. Enter the amount of time the jitter value must exceed for WhatsUp Gold to report the device to which the monitor is assigned as Down.
• Interarrival jitter is greater than X ms. Enter the amount of time the interarrival jitter value must exceed for WhatsUp Gold to report the device to which the monitor is assigned as Down.
• Ignore connection errors. Enable this option to prevent the monitor reporting the device as Down in the event of a connection error.
