How to Ping and check if the service is up and running from Thingworx's Thing service ?

[SV_10197221]

I have a requirement where the client wants to check if all their servicers are up and running. They are asking for a Mashup with layout and various point on the layout indicating the location of that server.

I am checking for a provision in thingworx Thing service to perform Ping operation and check. Need support on how to achieve this with RhinoJS in Thingworx.

The Ping operation is something that is specific to an IP and it is not related to HTTP services, technically speaking.

You can have the server interface happily responding to a PING, while the ThingWorx server is down.

You can replicate this behavior, somehow, if you define a list of external HTTP Services, to which you connect via the ThingWorx Content Loader snippets and get the reply back, and you measure the response time (this approach would require finishing some other details, but that's it overall).

To get ping results of IP/FQDN, you can use following extension.

TWX_PingRequest from Github.
