Gateway is not dependant on ethernet interface. :)   Bad example.

Better example, but still not good.  Why would you test this every <n>
minutes? :)

Look at /usr/sausalito/schemas/base/am/*

To add a test, you add a namespace to the ActiveMonitor object in CCE.  You
populate a few fixed fields with data (such as what file to exec, or what
port to probe).  Then the regular cronjob takes care of running your tests
for you at regular intervals.
