How to globally edit PING monitor timing (to 30 seconds)
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).
In order to change the PING times for all servers:
Log into IPMonitor and click on Devices > All Managed Devices
Click on any server and then click on Edit > Mass Edit > Monitor Properties
Change from Group to Property and click where it says Click Here to Select a Property
Choose Object Type (Read Only)
Click on Regex Wizard button
Type in Ping under Step 1 and click Test button
Highlight and copy the expression that was built (in this case, \iping.*? )
Click Close
Paste that expression into the box that says Matches regular expression (override anything that’s there)
