Ping¶

This Ping application sends an ICMP echo request to the target specified. It allows you to instantly know whether a domains is up or down, as well as response latency(ms). Options

Name*: Just a simple label to find it easier in the SenHub's interface
Description: Description for your own usage only.
Group: optional — assign this instance to a group to organise it within SenHub.
Target*: The chosen destination to send the ICMP request to. IP address or FQDN, but be careful not to include the protocol (e.g https).

Example output

The connector sends an ICMP echo request to the target and returns the round-trip time and whether the host responded:

{
  "metrics": [
    { "channel": "Time", "value": 24, "unit": "ms" },
    { "channel": "Alive", "value": true, "unit": "boolean" }
  ],
  "message": "Metrics successfully retrieved.",
  "status": "OK",
  "date": 1725981405127
}

When the target does not respond, Alive is false and Time is reported as 0:

{
  "metrics": [
    { "channel": "Time", "value": 0, "unit": "ms" },
    { "channel": "Alive", "value": false, "unit": "boolean" }
  ],
  "message": "Metrics successfully retrieved.",
  "status": "OK",
  "date": 1725981405127
}
