Using the Ping Wizard

The Ping wizard helps you add a Test to determine if a host is responding properly to a ping.

4. Next to Timeout, enter the number of seconds to wait for the host to respond to the ping.
5. Under Resource Name, enter the name of the Monitor Resource associated with this Test. This option is disabled if Auto-Generate Resource Name is selected.
6. Under Test Description, enter a description of the current Test.
7. Select Auto-generate Resource Name to automatically generate the Resource Name based on the Host Name.
8. Select Run Test to run the current Test. The Test Result dialog appears.
9. Close the Test Result dialog, and click Add Test.  The Ping Wizard dialog appears.
10. Click OK.
11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 to add more Ping Tests.
