Improve ping sensor: show packet loss not only in % values

Votes:

2

When you look at the ping sensor, results are shown in the average section in such a way:

Date TimePing TimeMinimumMaximumPacket LossDowntimeCoverage
Averages (of 481 values)110 ms109 msec112 msec<1 %0 %100 %

If you have hopefully low packet loss rate, it would be a good additional information to know how much pings were lost from the amount of pings which were sent. That could look like this:

Date TimePing TimeMinimumMaximumPacket LossDowntimeCoverage
Averages (of 481 values)110 ms109 msec112 msec<1 % (1 of 481)0 %100 %

That would help to get very quick a good idea about the quality of the line
