OpenEdge Management supports setting up a large number of network resources simultaneously for which you can define PING activities individually. OpenEdge Management can PING a network resource to determine its availability. OpenEdge Management sends an ICMP echo request to an IP host and returns a response time and status.
To define an ICMP resource monitor:
1. Select Resources > New > ICMP in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
The Create new ICMP page appears.
2. Enter values in the Name and Description fields.
3. In the Host field, enter the name of the host or IP address where the port is located.
4. Ensure that the Enabled field is checked to begin monitoring.
5. Click Save.
The Create Monitoring Plan page appears.
6. Update as necessary the default values, which are provided for monitoring plan and rule definition fields. See Reviewing network resource default values for details about the Alert if response time greater than and OR no response within fields.
7. Click Save.
The ICMP resource summary page appears displaying the monitoring plans.
