Catchpoint Web Tests allow you to trigger debug options based on Ping alerts, if Additional Monitor: Ping (ICMP) is enabled in the Advanced Settings. A traceroute will be triggered if the ping alert thresholds have been met. In order to set this debug option, follow the steps below :
- Edit the properties of the test, folder, or product.
- If needed, select Override for the Advanced Settings section, then click Add Advanced Settings
- Select Debug Primary Host On Failure, Debug Referenced Hosts on Failure, and Additional Monitor then click Apply.
- Make sure the Additional Monitor selection is Ping (ICMP).
- If needed, select Override for the Alerts section and add desired Recipients and Subject, then click Add Alert.
- Under All Alerts > Ping, select Ping RTT (Round Trip Time)
- Under Trigger, select Specific Value
- Put in the number of milliseconds for the warning and critical thresholds.
- Under Conditions, select Runs.
- Type in either the number of runs or percentage of runs that must exceed a threshold in to trigger an alert.
- Click Apply to save the alert.
Completing these steps will present a traceroute on the test whenever the time to complete the Ping test passes the warning time threshold.
