Hi All,

Thank you for amazing piece of software!

I had to very aggressively test packet loss to some servers so I made the following changes to the Database config.

*** Database ***

step     = 60
pings    = 20

# consfn mrhb steps total

AVERAGE  0.5   1  5040  #1008
AVERAGE  0.5  12  21600 #4320
    MIN  0.5  12  21600 #4320
    MAX  0.5  12  21600 #4320
AVERAGE  0.5 144   3600 #720
    MAX  0.5 144   3600 #720
    MIN  0.5 144   3600 #720


Basically I multiplied the steps in the config below by 5 as I was reducing the step period by a factor of 5.

Should I do this or should I just leave the bits below at their default values?

Thanks in advance.
Brian
