Setting/Advanced Setting to enable ICMP by default for Status & Response Time on Agents

As it reads in the title, this is a feature request to have the option to globally set Status & Response Time method to ICMP on Agent nodes.
For those that permit pinging agents for status info, being able to continually ping the node for a status even if the agent were to experience service disruptions would prevent false negatives such as Node being Down when the agent service is stopped or failed to update.

Service disruptions would still be observable by means of an alert that triggers when node is up but agent status is not running.

Upvoted, we had to deal with this recently, to fix it we implemented a daily schedule in our automation tool to change all Agent-monitored VM's to use ICMP for Status calculation instead of the Agent via SWIS API, but a native solution would have been better!
