How does Host Status idleInterval treat Ping Multi instances
@LogicMonitor Team: By reverse engineering I discovered the following behavior: If a Ping Multi instance ip address is also listed in the device property system.ips, the ICMP replies are also considered for Host Status idleInterval If a Ping Multi instance ip address is not listed in the device property system.ips, the ICMP replies are not considered for Host Status idleInterval It basically means that the Host Status may show a host unreachable even if a Ping Multi instance is still responding. This behavior was also confirmed by a support engineer (by reverse engineering). Can you confirm this observed behavior? Please update the online documentationaccordingly, since it already contains a note for scripted DataSources, but not for Ping Multi.Solved182Views18likes3Comments
Programmatic Ping Alert
We currently lack the ability to white list domain names on our firewall, so I have to do everything via IP. Recently I’ve come across an issue where a company won’t give me their external IP’s because they can change, or so they say. For several weeks I’ve pinged the IP’s and it has always been 1 of 4 IPs. Has anyone created some kind of ping alert that does something like “ping easypost.com and api.easypost.com if the IP’s returned are not in 169.62.110.130-169.62.110.133, alert me” I’m not much of a programmer myself so I’d need something pretty “plug and play”. TIA!Solved109Views7likes4Comments"Virtual" device monitoring
I am preparing a set of datasources to monitor several aspects of a cloud provided service. I can connect to that service using an URL and specific port, but cannot ping this service as it is blocked. When defining a new device for this, I assigned the “NoPing”, “NoHTTP”, “NoHTTPs” system categories but I still get the dead device icon. My datasources alerts are notgenerated because of this dead status. It looks like the device address is checked using ping anyway and is marked as dead. Is there anyway to avoid this behaviour?Solved243Views6likes2CommentsWidget for ping monitoring
Hi Everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to create a widget, that will show the top ten servers that have a ping of above 100ms. I can make the standard ping widget, but I don't see a way to limit the graph to those servers that have a high ping. Do I need to use the virtual datapoint? Or, maybe I need clarification on what it means when I select top 10 on an average, or maxrtt datapoint. Thanks!33Views1like6Comments
