The Smart PING engine in the Check_MK Micro Core has now an option of throttling the maximum rate of PINGs. This helps in situtations where a firewall is not able to process e.g. 1000 ICMP echo requests in one millisecond. Throttling is disabled per default.
Note: The setting for omitting the ICMP payload has moved to the new setting. If you have used this setting you need to enable it again.
