The Ping Monitor sends version 4 ICMP echo requests to the Agents being monitored. You may specify the size of the echo request packets and the number of packets that are sent. The Ping Monitor will execute the configured Actions, depending on the results of the Ping.
Even though the Ping Monitor is assigned to Agents, it is always executed by the ELM Server.

For example, if a Scheduled Interval is configured for 10 minutes, the Monitor Item will execute at hh:10:00, hh:20:00, hh:30:00, hh:40:00, hh:50:00, h1:00:00, etc. If a Scheduled Interval is configured for 15 seconds, the Monitor Item will execute at hh:00:15, hh:00:30, hh:00:45, hh:01:00, hh:01:15, etc.

Clicking on an individual square will toggle the active schedule for that hour. Clicking on an hour at the top of the grid, or on a day of the week at the left of the grid will toggle the corresponding column or row. Keyboard equivalents are the arrow keys and the space bar.
