A failed ping is a ping to the primary database that failed or took longer than the time specified by the ObserverPingInterval property. You must set both the ObserverPingRetry and ObserverPingInterval properties to achieve lower detection times for primary database failures. The minimum value of ObserverPingRetry is 10. Therefore, the detection time can be reduced to nearly 1 second.

The FastStartFailoverThreshold property is ignored when the ObserverPingRetry and ObserverPingInterval properties are set.
