Thanks, Bob (and to those who may respond in the interim).  I'll discuss
that with the "honch" and decide what's optimal for our network.

Assuming your network has WAN segments it is quite likely to drop an ICMP
packet under load. The trigger of 4 improves the odds that such spurious
drops won't trigger alarms.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] trigger value to send notification


Hi, People.

Is there any special reason why WUG recommends a minimum trigger value of 4
before sending out a notification?  Is it just a suggestion on their behalf
to reduce unnecessary notification traffic?  For my network, we want a
status on all devices ( my best guess is about 350-400 WUG devices across
the country) every 10 minutes.  We chose to poll every 5 minutes (300 secs)
and a trigger value of 2.  I can always adjust this to 2.5 minutes (150
secs) and trigger value of 4.
