[Xymon] Conn Alert after one missed packet

[Mario Valetti]

Hello list,

Is it possible to be alerted when one single packet is lost i.e. conn
request does not receive a reply for the first packet?

I know the default fping sends out 3 packets when if the conn request
does not receive a reply after a set period.  Looking at the fping man
page, I've changed the fping syntax to "fping -A -e -r1", but this
will still send one additional ping packet before an alert is raised.


Alternatively I could look at creating a custom script, but obviously
it's easier if this facility is already built-in somehow.


Thanks,
Mario
