    You can change the frequency of the ping check by modifying the Collect Every field for the PingMulti- DataSource, if you want to change it globally.

    I don't believe you can change the number of pings without switching to scripts. I believe it's hardcoded to send 10 pings (unless it's in some collector config somewhere). You would want to send multiple pings like that though so you get a more precise packet loss datapoint though.

Ping multi does everything I need except for the packet limitation to 10.

Website SLA is in reporting or dashboard is insufficient as it only measures availability and does not cover loss, latency even-though those are measured in the raw data.

Good point on the frequency, but I will be happy with 50 packets per minute, regardless of frequency.

Looks like a new datasource/script is required here. Its a pity we can't copy/modify the ping multi one.
