ping result is always same for different addresses

[SHA65536]

Hello! I tried making a program that will ping a list of IPs and gather results.

func scrapeAll() {
    pinger := ping.New("0.0.0.0")
    // Tried this too
    // pinger, _ := ping.NewPinger("0.0.0.0")
    pinger.Count = 5
    pinger.Size = 24
    pinger.Interval = time.Second
    pinger.Timeout = time.Second * 3
    pinger.TTL = 64
    pinger.SetPrivileged(true)
    pinger.OnFinish = handlePing
    uids, hosts := getEnabledDevices()
    for i := range uids {
        pinger.SetAddr(hosts[i])
        err := pinger.Run()
        if err != nil {
            consoleLog.Printf("Failed to ping target host %s, %v",hosts[i], err)
            continue
        }
    }
}
func handlePing(stats *ping.Statistics) {
    consoleLog.Printf("%v - %v", stats.Addr, stats.AvgRtt)
}

When running I get the result:

2022/01/10 11:20:10 127.0.0.1 - 197.967µs
2022/01/10 11:20:10 8.8.8.8 - 197.967µs
2022/01/10 11:20:10 192.168.5.7 - 197.967µs 

Tested multiple times so it's not a coincidence. Maybe is there some internal variable in the pinger I need to reset before each ping? Cheers.

It seems that in runLoop you check packets p.PacketsRecv >= p.Count and p.PacketsSent >= p.Count So when changing the address using SetAddr the p.PacketsRecv and p.PacketsSent and other stats are not getting reset.

Please don't do that. ping.Pinger instances aren't designed to be used to ping multiple targets in that way.

Initialise a new Pinger for each host inside the for loop.
