Hi,
This morning one of our wireless link went mad and the connection became slow with >25% lost packets and >500ms ping responses. However this wasn't detected by the Multi-Wan module which didn't failover the backup connection.
What's the way of detecting a failing connection on Clearos ? Is there a way to configure the thresholds ?
Thanks for your insight.

The options can be configured in /etc/syswtach
Here you can change the server that is pinged, number of retries, time between pings etc
[root@cos ~]# cat /etc/syswatch
# This is the configuration file for the syswatch daemon
# ** no extra spaces please **
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Connection type
# - values: dhcp, static, or pppoe
conntype=static
# Server type
# - values: gateway, onlan
servtype=gateway
# Heartbeat
# - Number of times we ping between writing a "heartbeat" in the log file
# - default: 10
heartbeat=10
# Retries
# - Number of times we should ping before we call the network "down"
# - default: 5
retries=5
# Ping interval
# - Interval time (in seconds) between test pings
# - default: 60
interval=60
# Failed interval
# - Time (in seconds) between pings when Internet is down
# - default: 15
failedinterval=15
# Firewall
# - Command that restarts the firewall
# - default: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall restart >/dev/null"
#firewall="/etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall restart >/dev/null"
# Ping servers
# - The syswatch daemon by default will just ping the next hop on the Internet
# and another device. You can override this with a comma separated list of
# 2 servers.
ping_servers=8.8.8.8
