Generic Ping

This module will allow you to ping a remote device and use the response in a variable or module ok/error state.

Configuration

  • Enter the IP Address of the device to ping
  • Timeout Rate
  • Retry Rate (how often to re-ping)

Actions

If you wish to perform an action based on a ping state, use a Trigger with the variables built into this module.

  • Start Ping Interval (Ping will auto start when module is configured, but if you want to stop pinging and restart it, use this action)
  • Stop Ping Interval (Variables and Feedbacks will stop working also)
  • Send Custom Ping (Specify a custom host outside of the module config to send a ping to; ping results can be sent to a custom variable)

Variables
