Hi mark,
I know these recommendations, but I need to work with 60 seconds interval.
3 or 5 minutes to inform you that the data link is out is long.
We need to be aggressive with this type of monitoring.
I did tests for 3 days and did not like that the probe works.
When the probe is not ping problems or packet loss, works fast.
But when she finds some delay, loses runtime.
Example:
1 - The runtime between a profile is 60s;
2 - Delay of 12 sec;
2 - It starts three times ping with 10 second intervals between one and othe ping;
3 - Delay 2 sec + 10 sec + 10 sec + 10 sec = 32 sec.
4 - Start packet loss test;
5 - Send four packages with 4 sec interval;
6-32 sec + 10 sec = 42 sec.
7 - + some delays = 50 sec
Theoretically the settings are adjusted to work well, but the composition of the tests that cause delays.
My Settings are as follows:
Check Interval: 60sec
ICMP
Packet size: Default
Retris in interval: 3
Packet to send: 4
Delay between Packet (ms): 1000
Packet Loss (x) Jitter (x) Latency (x)
Connectivity
Timeout: 10
Failed intervals: 1
Theshould
Response time: 2000
Packet Loss
Max lost packets: 2
I wanted to hear from partners who use this probe with many profiles or with short intervals, so as to reach a conclusion.
Really I have to have multiple robots to perform the profiles with short breaks?
Will use multiple robots on the same server is an option?
Thank you.
