Host Pinging Frequency

Hi,
I have set many hosts to alert if they are down, however it happens that sometimes ping is not successful and I get an alert, host is actually not down. This causes a lot of false alarms.

Is there a way to set lets say ping command needs to fail 3 times until it will send an alert ??

The rule you are looking for is called “Maximum number of check attempts for host”

Thank you, I have been looking for this, where could I find and edit this rule.

Yes, you can search the Setup and the Monitor menus. The monitor menu also accepts regexes, and has a sort of very basic ‘query language’, the Setup menu is only case insensitive free text

There’S actually also an article on that (again, linking to the right section): The user interface
