The ICMP latency monitoring feature is not enabled by default. It requires the following settings:

  1. Set the MaximumLatency parameter to a non-zero number in the Polling and Thresholds Console. Maximum Latency attribute for IP is added under Settings > Connectivity Polling.

  2. Subscribe to the IP::SlowResponseTime event in SAM or in an external subscriber.

    Note:

    You need to directly subscribe to the event. Prior to subscribing to the event, ensure that you set the MaximumLatency parameter.

    If the round-trip time between the sending of an ICMP request to an IP and the receiving of the ICMP response from the IP exceeds a user-defined latency value, but does not exceed a user-defined timeout value, the IP Availability Manager generates an IP SlowResponseTime event. The Global Manager subscribes to the IP SlowResponseTime event.
