ICMP Ping Times

[bluepoet]

Trying to figure out how to change a template for ICMP Ping times. We want it have a set time more a majority of our locations but there are a few that we know have high ping times and would like it to recognize that and not do alerts on those sites till it reaches the threshold we site for those sites. We are using the FreeBSD Template.

Currently I see for the sites

{hostname(25m)}>{$ICMP_RESPONSE_TIME_WARN}

and for the template

{Template Module ICMP Ping:icmppingsec.avg(85m)}>{$ICMP_RESPONSE_TIME_WA RN}

But there is no way to edit the site ones since derive their information from the template. For the template can we add multiple settings and then if one setting is not true go to the next type of thing? Just hate to have to set all sites to a high ping because of just a few bad apples that we are aware of.

The template you are using is "ICMP Ping", isn't it? If you want to change the macro value for each host, open the Macros tab in the host settings, select "Inherited and host macros", and try changing the value of the macro you want to change.

I found the template. Was able to make some changes. There is still one of our clients that always has a high ping and trying to figure out the best way to resolve it. Thank you for your reply.
