Pinging remote machines
The ping module allows you to check other machines are still online and responding.
Ping threads are only started a boot time if the Repeat Time is greater than zero. Also DNS
lookup is only performed once at boot time if the Repeat Time is greater than zero. So after
making changes, wait for the Update Pending light to go out (5 seconds after last change) and
reboot the module.
Repeat Time
This is how often the ping is repeated, in seconds. 10 sends a ping every 10 seconds.
Attempts
The number of failed pings (no response) before failure is reported by setting the ping time to
zero. If set to 5 it will take 5 consecutive failed responses to trigger a failure. If a response is
received, say on the 3
rd
try, the attempt counter is reset to 5.
