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.
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}}
});-
if it is not possible to ping your linux client, check if
iputils-pingis correctly installed on a client. -
pingcommand 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.
