Re: Any Ping Sensitivity Adjust

[Martin Pala]

OK, here is patch which should solve the problem. It is now possible to 
specify via new 'count' parameter how many echo requests should monit 
send. In the case that at least one reply is received, the test passed 
(thus you can tune the loss tolerance using 'count' option). Monit now 
sends 3 echo requests in one cycle => 66% loss is allowed.

Example:

 check host foobar with address www.foobar.org
   if failed icmp type echo count 5 with timeout 10 seconds then alert
   if failed port 80 then alert


Can you try it? (it's for current cvs version, you can find the cvs 
access instructions here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=monit)

Thanks,
Martin
