- IPMonitor uses “monitors” in order to test a machine’s status for different components.
- The PING monitor is setup to ping every 30 seconds. If that fails it will test again in 30seconds. If that fails then the status goes into a “Down” state which fires off emails. It will continue to ping every 30 seconds for a period of 300 seconds (5 minutes).
