How does Host Status idleInterval treat Ping Multi instances
@LogicMonitor Team:
By reverse engineering I discovered the following behavior:
- If a Ping Multi instance ip address is also listed in the device property system.ips, the ICMP replies are also considered for Host Status idleInterval
- If a Ping Multi instance ip address is not listed in the device property system.ips, the ICMP replies are not considered for Host Status idleInterval
It basically means that the Host Status may show a host unreachable even if a Ping Multi instance is still responding.
This behavior was also confirmed by a support engineer (by reverse engineering).
Can you confirm this observed behavior? Please update the online documentation accordingly, since it already contains a note for scripted DataSources, but not for Ping Multi.
