The ping outage configuration can be viewed and edited from the Statseeker server CLI.
To view the Ping Timeout
Run the following on the server's CLI:
nim-cfg get *::ping_outage:0 - view the ping timeout for all devices
nim-cfg get <DEVICE_NAME>::ping_outage:0 - view the ping timeout for the named device
e.g.
statseeker$ nim-cfg get Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0
Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0 cfg,bldonchg 45
To edit the Ping Timeout Statseeker 5.6.2 onwards
Run the following on the server's CLI:
nim-ping-admin update -o <TIMEOUT_VALUE_IN_SECONDS> -d <DEVICE_NAME> - update the ping timeout for the named device
e.g.
statseeker$ nim-ping-admin update -o 120 -d Adelaide-rtr
Checking
statseeker$ nim-cfg get Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0
Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0 cfg 120
To edit the Ping Timeout Statseeker 5.6.0 and earlier
Run the following on the server's CLI:
nim-cfg setvalue <device_name>::ping_outage:0 <outage time in seconds>
e.g.
statseeker$ nim-cfg setvalue Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0 120
Checking
statseeker$ nim-cfg get Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0
Adelaide-rtr::ping_outage:0 cfg,bldonchg 120
Note:
ALWAYS set ping outage values in an increment of 15 seconds (e.g 45, 60, 90, 120)
DO NOT set ping outage to a value less than 45 seconds
Ideally set the time to increments of 15 seconds + 10 seconds.
The PIng Outage time can also be set using auto-grouping as per the example below:
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 in the "Advanced Options (CFG format)" box like 'nim_autogrouping_show_config_gui' 'on' in the list.
