Internet ping widget

Would it be possible for someone to code into the gauge for reading ms (millisecond) which I use for Internet Ping test to include a variable that allows me to select or enter an endpoint, like a website address or an IP address. As an ISP this would be very useful when troubleshooting customer issues from various edge locations.

Greetings, I do not understand very well your suggestion, may you expand what do you mean by “to code into the gauge for reading ms (millisecond)” ? The Gauge plots the variable’s value, so the unit should be handled at your device side or scale your value using a synthetic variable.

All the best

Greetings,

I am using the gauge to measure Internet Ping time, but the endpoint providing the current result is a ubitots website url . I want to measure ping time to an IP address or a website that I can enter as a variable selection. So if I need to see the results to yahoo.com or to a VoIP carrier switch’s IP address, it would be a great tool when troubleshooting voice quality or internet quality.

Thanks,

Hi there, the idea that comes to my mind is to use the input widget to store your IP Address in a variable’s context and then just read that context from your device using MQTT or HTTP to dynamically change the ip to ping and report back to Ubidots.
