Currently I have an alert that get's fired when a host is unavailable (3/4 samples are over 9999ms).

Is it possible to make an alert that fires when a host is over 80ms for 3/4 samples? I've tried but it my problem is that it also will fire when the host is unavailable.

Any workaround to this?

Hi, Jimmy.

There's no way to set up an alert that *only* fires if the latency is slow, but not when it goes completely down. How are you wanting to use this?

In general we say that our hosts shouldn't be over 80ms. If it's over something might be wrong.

Techincally I don't know how you could solve this but perhaps you could make an alert that fires when a host is over 80 ms and but still under 1500ms?

Hi, Jimmy.

I guess I should have been a bit more clear in my question.

What's the downside of being alerted if the target stops responding, too? That will certainly be a bad thing - at least as bad as if it's slow...

Well now that you're asking I don't know why really. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I guess it just would be nice to see whether the connection is slow or down when I get the notification in the system tray.

I could change the current alert I have when 3/4 samples are over 9999ms to 80ms. But then I would also change my notification text to something like "site x is down or slow".

This way I have to open MultiPing to see whether I should react now or perhaps wait a bit if it's a slow connection.

So if I could have 2 alerts I didn't have to open MultiPing to see what the problem is.
