The WMI Remote Ping sensor will ping from the device to another device but it only is to Down status if it cannot ping the target device. I want it to be down if it can reach the target device.
The Ping sensor works in the same and there is a suggestion in the Can I create an inverse Ping sensor? article that documents a work around.
One suggestion for both of these sensors is to have an option similar to the Port sensor. In this sensor there is a setting called Goal with the option of Open or Closed, depending on your requirement for the selected port. In the same way the ping sensors could have a Goal setting with the options of Reachable or Unreachable which could be toggled to add the functionality required.
