Any Ping Sensitivity Adjust

[M. D. Parker]

>From my understanding, the ICMP or port tests only perform ONE probe before
announcing failure --> alert. 

I am getting a lot of transient messages that fail one cycle, only to be ok
on the next cycle resulting in a lot of messages at times.  Is there
currently a way of configuring the host check so that if n-consecutive
failures you get an alert notification?

What I am using now:

check host myhost
      address myhost.domain.com
      if failed icmp type echo with timeout 5 seconds then alert

Thanks for your help
