Hi,

 

 

I have had a look at the post and whilst it makes sense, I can't seem to get what I want working. Basically, I have setup a custom Monitor setup on my GTM with the following parameters:

 

 

Interval: 15

 

Timeout: 81

 

Probe Timeout: 5

 

 

So I would expect that the probe would run every 15 seconds, and that 5 consecutive probes would need to be missed before the Server was marked as down (5 x 15 = 75 + 5 for the probe timeout).

 

 

However, when I tested this, the GTM was correctly sending Probes every 15 seconds, but the Server was marked as down after the first missed probe.

 

 

Am I missing something? GTM version is 9.4.7.
