Ping Interarrival Jitter monitor returns resulting variance from multiple pings to a specified device.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

  • Hostname/IP Address to Ping. Hostname or IP address of the target device to monitor. You can also enter the %Device.Address or %Device.HostName percent variable to configure the monitor to ping the device to which the monitor is assigned.
  • Timeout. Maximum length of time in seconds to wait for the ping reply message after sending the ping (ICMP echo).
  • Retries. Number of times WhatsUp Gold attempts to send the ping (ICMP echo) messages.
  • TTL. Number of routing nodes ("hops") that can forward the ping data before it is discarded.
  • Payload Size. Length in bytes of data to be sent in the ping message and returned in the ping reply message.
  • Jitter is greater than X ms. Amount of time the jitter value must exceed for WhatsUp Gold to report the device to which the monitor is assigned as Down.
  • Interarrival jitter is greater than X ms. Amount of time the interarrival jitter value must exceed for WhatsUp Gold to report the device to which the monitor is assigned as Down.
  • Ignore connection errors. Enable this option to prevent the monitor reporting the device as Down in the event of a connection error.
