Remote Pings/Port

I've seen one for Linux (via ssh) and one for Windows (posh) in one of our demos. Right now they don't have active discovery so you'd have to add the instances manually. Let me play with them a bit to see if I can make it so that you can specify the list of destinations via a property. Stand by...

Ok, try these out: https://github.com/sweenig/remote-ping-dataSource 

For Windows, as long as other PowerShell based DataSources work, this one should work.

For Linux, ssh.user/ssh.pass or ssh.user/ssh.cert are needed.

For ALL, a custom property (which can be applied on a device level or any parent level) called ping.targets needs to be added in the following format:

google:8.8.8.8,gateway:192.168.1.1,server:192.168.1.100,KMC:10.0.86.46

The above example will result in four instances named "google", "gateway", "server", and "KMC". The IP address for each item will be pinged, in parallel, and the results brought into the DS. You could set this on a group containing both Windows servers and Linux servers since the property is named the same for both.

I updated the collection script in github to use a more reliable method of pulling in the wildvalue. Changed line 12 (first line in the main try block) to this:

    def wildvalue = (instanceProps) ? instanceProps.wildvalue.toLowerCase() : "##WILDVALUE##"

See if making that update reliably pulls in the wildvalue by doing a `println(wildvalue)` on the next line and running it in the debug console of the collector.
