Does ICMP checks work? #650

Closed dankonino closed 5 years ago

dankonino commented 5 years ago

I have ICMP setup on my services, which are set to working URL. I see this then on the check Error in performing check: Instance matching query does not exist. I wonder what am I doing wrong or if the service really have some issues. Thanks

I also tried to make instance and then it runs them by itself, I see ping: bad port spec 'https://cloud.google.com/' I hope you can help me with this because I don't see any port as option

When you create an instance, the value for the Address: field must be a hostname or IP Address. It seems you put https://cloud.google.com/ instead of just cloud.google.com

oh thanks. I made it checking pure IPs from amazon e.g. 3.8.0.0 ;) but thanks for saying that, pure DNS works just fine too
