Status Type
The < statustype > tag will be replaced with a short message describing the nature of the problem detected. Depending on the problem detected this message message will be one of:
Connection problem - these indicates different problems with the network connection to the monitored target which include DNS lookup problems and TCP/UDP connection issues (Connection Refused, Network/Host Unreachable, Connection timed out, No route to host, etc.).
When monitoring PING only devices you can also receive a "100% packet loss" error which is also related to the network connection to the monitored target.
