Ping

The Ping Monitor allows you to test the accessibility of your web server over a IP/URL/domain name, via public and private agents.

Once you added a ping monitor for your component, the Anturis agent will start pinging your web server at your customized monitor periods to check if your URL, IP address, and domain name are accessible.
If the server fails to respond, or if it responds with an error or warning status indicating that the web service is not available, Anturis considers the test to have failed. Most often, a failure status is returned by your ping monitor if there is no response from the server within the set timeout.

Adding a Ping Monitor

There are two options for adding a Ping Monitor.
The first option is available if a component is created.
  1. On the Component page, click Add/Remove Monitors > Add Custom Monitor.
  2. Go to the Web-Servers Monitors tab and Web protocols sub-tab view.

  4. Select the agents (servers) from the list.
  5. Enter the IP/domain name/URL of the target web site, under Host.
  6. Choose a period of time from the Monitor Period drop-down menu.
  7. Click Next.
  8. [Optional] Enable IPv6.
  9. [Optional] Under Timeout, set the value for an Error threshold and Warning threshold.
  10. Enter a Monitor Name and set consecutive measurements.
  11. Click Next.
  12. On the Monitor test result step, click Next when the test is passed.
  13. Click Finish.
To manage your monitor, click View/Edit parameters.
