What is icmpOutEchos?
Counts ICMP Echo, or ping request, messages sent by the device. This counter reflects the gateway's own outbound reachability testing, its health-check pings to upstream gateways, VPN peers, or monitored hosts, so tracking it alongside icmpInEchoReps shows how much of that self-initiated probing is actually succeeding. Example: icmpOutEchos increasing steadily every 60 seconds matches a configured keepalive ping to a VPN peer, letting an admin confirm that health check is actually firing on schedule.
