How do I set the ping outage time for a device?

 The ping outage time for a device can be set via the command line with the command:

nim-cfg setvalue <device_name>::ping_outage:0 <outage time in seconds>

e.g.

Checking present value:

statseeker$ nim-cfg get Berlin-swt3::ping_outage:0

Berlin-swt3::ping_outage:0 cfg,bldonchg 45

Setting 90 seconds:

statseeker$ nim-cfg setvalue Berlin-swt3::ping_outage:0 90

Checking adjusted value:

statseeker$ nim-cfg get Berlin-swt3::ping_outage:0

Berlin-swt3::ping_outage:0 cfg,bldonchg 90

Ideally set the time to increments of 15 seconds  + 10 seconds.

Please do not set the outage time to less than the poll time of 15 seconds.

We do not recommend setting the poll time to less than the default of 45 seconds.

It can also be set using auto-grouping as per the example below:

ping_outage1

For the auto-grouping option please check that the Auto Group Advanced Option for this is turned on in Discovery Advanced Options.

To do this please go to Administration Tool -> Network Discovery / Advanced Options -> Advanced Options -> File Edit Mode (scroll to bottom)

Then please check that there is an entry like 'nim_autogrouping_show_config_gui' 'on' in the list.
