# PingPeriodInSec

The ping period (in seconds) on child servers that are currently marked `UP`. (TimeBetweenRetries determines the ping interval of child servers that are currently marked `DOWN`.)

`UP` servers do not need as frequent monitoring as `DOWN` servers because their status is confirmed by the fact that they are serving requests.

A `DOWN` server cannot be marked `UP` except by pinging. An `UP` server can be marked `DOWN` if it fails to respond to any query. The status of an `UP` server is updated whenever it responds (or fails to respond) to a query or a ping. Distributed Action Handler only pings an `UP` server if a period of time longer than the value specified by `PingPeriodInSec` has elapsed since the last update of the server status.
