the alertafter controls when alerts are sent. the "-r 2" controls how
the monitor registers a failure. so, "-r 2" means that fping.monitor
will pass that to fping, which will retry pinging a host twice before
reporting it as a failure. "alertafter 3 2m" means that an alert will
be sent only after fping.monitor fails three times within two minutes.
