You may have to PURCHASE a tool if you want something to monitor ping response times, which are notoriously unreliable as an indicator of anything.

It's very simple. Conn is a ping test - it pings your host (with one of two utilities).
Example:
192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1> myrouter.domain.tld #
This will ping 192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1> on every poll cycle and report to you via the web pages and email alerts if you've configured that in hobbit-alert.cfg
That means it does just a ping & if the ping doesn't not reply, it will display an RED alert ? And if the ping make 200ms or 2000ms or 15000ms to answer ?
Thanks you

Well it depends whether you are using fping or hobbitping - try reading the man pages, which can be accessed from the Help menu of the web page.
This tells you how many pings, what happens when the first ping fails, the timeout etc etc and yes it is configurable.
Thanks you for you answer but I still can figure out what do a "conn" exactly. Can you give the direct URL please ?
-----Original Message----- Hello again,
I'm polishing a Hobbit installation. I would like to know how the Hobbit server handle the "conn" step. I guess it's a couple of ping, isn't it ? How it works when a first ping doesn't not respond? How many packet are sent each time? What is the time-out? Can we configure it?
Thanks by advance for any informations related to this ;)
