Alert on PING packet loss

Normally when testing PING only targets you will be notified only of there is a 100% packet loss or if the round-trip time exceeds some limit.
Check the "Alert on PING packet loss" box to receive alerts every time when the monitoring agent detects lost packets during the test.

Please notice that packet loss may occur due to a number of reasons and selecting this option may result in false alerts being sent.
