Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure the "strafer" package in poller-configuration.xml to include some part of your network
2. In that package's "StrafePing" service definition, add a "thresholding-enabled" parameter with value "true"
3. In threshd-configuration.xml, add a package like the following:

<package name="strafeping">
<filter>IPADDR != '0.0.0.0'</filter>
<include-range begin="1.1.1.1" end="254.254.254.254"/>
<include-range begin="::1" end="ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff" />

<service name="StrafePing" interval="300000" user-defined="false" status="on">
<parameter key="thresholding-group" value="strafeping"/>
</service>
</package>

4. In thresholds.xml, add a corresponding threshold group with a threshold on "response-time" with its value set so low that both will surely trigger (note that response-time is in microseconds) and on "loss" with a value of 1.0:

<group name="strafeping" rrdRepository="/opt/opennms/share/rrd/response/">
<threshold type="high" ds-type="if" value="10.0" rearm="5.0" trigger="1" filterOperator="or" ds-name="response-time"/>
<threshold type="high" ds-type="if" value="1.0" rearm="0.0" trigger="1" filterOperator="or" ds-name="loss"/>
</group>

5. Reload both threshold configuration files via reloadDaemonConfig events, or just restart OpenNMS.

6. Provision a node at least one of whose interfaces includes the StrafePing service and matches the "strafer" package filter from poller-configuration.xml.

7. Wait for one poll cycle to pass (at which point a highThresholdExceeded for DS 'response-time' should appear)

8. Configure some packet loss using your SmartBITS or iptables (INPUT ... -p ICMP -m statistic --mode nth --every 6 -j DROP works for me)

9. Wait for the next poll cycle to come around.

Expected result: highThresholdExceeded events for both "response-time" and "loss" DSes

Actual result: No event for the "loss" DS, and the following in poller.log:
