Ping test
At the beginning of a host polling, APM starts a Ping test for the host that the OpenBSD resides. During
a Ping test, APM sends ICMP packets to the host, and receives the response from the host. Once
receiving a response, which means that the Ping test is successful, APM records the time when receiving
the response. Otherwise, APM will try up to three times to Ping test the host.
The Ping Test pane is shown in Figure 89.
Figure 89 Ping test
This pane contains the following information:
• Curve graph of Ping test—Display the result trend of the Ping tests in the past one hour by
default. You can also select a time period to view the result trend in the specified time period. Click
the Last 1 hour icon , the Last 6 hours icon , the Today icon , the Yesterday icon , the
This Week icon , the This Month icon , or the This Year icon to select a time period.

• Attribute/Value—Displays the monitored indexes and its value. The monitored indexes are:
Response Time—Indicate the response time of the latest Ping test.
Packets Sent—Indicate the number of ICMP packets that are sent by APM in the last Ping

during a Ping test. The number of the received response can be 0 or 1.
History Record—Click the History Record icon to view the trend of the Ping test
indexes in a past time period, which includes the response time, packets sent, packets
received indexes. The time periods you can view include the last 1 hour, last 6 hours, today,
yesterday, this week, this month, and this year. If you select the time period Last 1 hour,
Last 6 hours, or Today, the Ping test indexes is measured in unit of a polling interval; if you
select the time period Yesterday, This week, or This month, the Ping test indexes is
measured in hours, and the diagram displays the trends of the Ping test indexes, and the
maximum, minimize, and average values of the indexes; if you select the time period This
year, the Ping test indexes is measured in days, and the diagram displays the trends of the
