PING Adapter
![NPM version](http://img.shields.io/npm/v/iobroker.ping.svg)
![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/iobroker.ping.svg)
Pings configured IP addresses.
Pings specified IP addresses in a defined interval and monitors the results.
This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.
Ping from javascript adapter
You can ping any IP address from the javascript adapter with command:
sendTo('ping.0', 'ping', '192.168.1.1', (res) => {
console.log('Result: ' + JSON.stringify(res)); // Result: {"result": {"host": "192.168.1.1", "alive": true, "ms": 250}}
});
Known Issues
-
if it is not possible to ping your linux client, check if iputils-ping
is correctly installed on a client.
-
ping
command under linux requires root permissions.
You can give the adapter the rights to execute the ping
command as root.
For this, you need to add the following line to the /etc/sudoers
file with sudo visudo
command: iobroker ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/ping
.
Or you can allow the ping execution by sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping
command.
You must install setcap with sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
before if setcup
not found.
