[ovirt-users] Ping::(action) Failed to ping x.x.x.x, (4 out of 5)

[info at linuxfabrik.ch]

Hi all,

we randomly and constantly have this message in our /var/log/ovirt-
hosted-engine-ha/broker.log:

/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/broker.log:Thread-1::WARNING::2018-03-
27 08:17:25,891::ping::63::ping.Ping::(action) Failed to ping x.x.x.x,
(4 out of 5)

The pinged device is a switch (not a gateway). We know that a switch
might drop icmp packets if it needs to. The interesting thing about
that is if it fails it fails always at "4 out of 5", but in the end (5
of 5) it always succeeds.

Is there a way to increase the amount of pings or to have another way
instead of ping?


Regards
Markus
