Ping Status Monitor doesn't create any alert

Question
-
Hello,
for Windows Server you have the Ping Status Monitor testing connection to the servers. We have the problem, that if a server is not reachable the alert does not occure. We test it with one server - disebled the network card and the monitor does not alert. If I ping the server from the scom console it fails but status view and state change are still green.
Is there something wrong with the monitor?

Hi,
Ping Status Monitor
This monitor pings a agentless computer using an ICMP ping. If the computer is agent-managed, it ping itself locally.
Please try to enable the Monitor Computer Not Reachable and Health Service Heartbeat Failure.

You will need to create network monitor by using ICMP only which monitor server or PC with ping status and generate to you alert when it's unreachable

Hi, sorry I forgot to give you a feedback.
This monitor was disabled. Now it runs.
