Ping Plugin Help


Sensors:

- Ping:

Parameters:

Default Parameters:

- Host: Host to ping (IP address or name). Default value is localhost.

Optional Parameters:

- ErrorReturnValue: Value to return if an error occurs. Default value is 10000.
- ReturnValueOnError: Return a value rather than an error string (Yes/No). Default value is No.

Notes:

You can use the ReturnValueOnError parameter, to enable a value to be returned (default 10000, set by ErrorReturnValue), so that it return a standard value for use in things like Dodads.ValueChanger. The timeout for the ping value is set to 5000ms.

Changelog:

1.0.0.7:

* Fixed two potential bugs in the code
* Added in new options for when timeouts occur, and return sensible values instead.
