threshold ping

threshold ping

Defines the alarm thresholds for Ping tests on any cell or edge that is assigned this alarm template.

Syntax

threshold ping (rtt <milliseconds>) | (loss <percent>) | (inter-arrival-time <milliseconds>)

no threshold ping {rtt | loss | inter-arrival-time}

Arguments

Table 57: threshold ping arguments
Argument	Description
rtt <milliseconds>	The round trip time (RTT) threshold in milliseconds for Ping tests. The valid range is 0 to 780,000
loss <percent>	The loss threshold as a percentage of loss for Ping tests. The valid range is 0 to 100. The loss threshold is a percentage of packets lost in transit.
inter-arrival-time <milliseconds>	The inter-arrival-time threshold in milliseconds for Ping tests. The valid range is 0 to 2147483647. Inter arrival time is the time between tests, and can be used to trigger an alarm when a link is down or a set of endpoints becomes isolated.

Prerequisites

Must be in Chatter Alarm Configuration mode. For information on how to access this mode, see Accessing and exiting command modes.

Occurrence

Use once.

Default

Table 58: Default settings for threshold ping command
Argument	Default value
RTT threshold	300 milliseconds
loss threshold	1 percent
inter arrival time threshold	864 seconds

Description

Defines the alarm thresholds for Ping tests on any cell or edge that is assigned this alarm template. Thresholds are defined for each variable measured by Chatter for the ping test.

These threshold values are absolute thresholds and used to generate an alarm if absolute alarms are enabled. These threshold values are also used for coloring the absolute topology.

The no command restores the default value for the specified threshold.
