Yes, you'll get a WARNING notification when the RTA is >= 100ms or the
packet loss is >= 20% and a CRITICAL when the RTA is >= 500ms or the
packet loss is greater that 60%.

Either generate enough traffic to the host to cause one or more of the
conditions above or significantly lower your thresholds for testing
purposes or use a testing host that you can specifically degrade or
disable.
