Hi.
the same problem here:
2018-09-19 14:46:48.748 Error: (Ping Freenas) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'AttributeError':''IcmpDevice' object has no attribute 'Name''.
2018-09-19 14:46:48.748 Error: (Ping Freenas) ----> Line 187 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/pinger/plugin.py', function onHeartbeat
2018-09-19 14:46:48.748 Error: (Ping Freenas) ----> Line 155 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/pinger/plugin.py', function onHeartbeat
There are any news ?
The plugin is very interesting, but right now it's unusable

Thank you !
Andrea

Hello,
I tried again to use the plugin ... I still have the error in the log ... but at least this time Domoticz was able to create the devices.
Now I have another problem: with the plugin enabled after 30-50 seconds the Domoticzìs web server crash and the web interface is not reachable anymore

In the log I can find the line: domoticz WebServer:8080 thread seems to have ended unexpectedly
As soon as I remove the plugin from the Plugin folder ... everything start to work again.
Some info:
OS: raspbian stretch
Domoticz version: 4.10857
Python: 3.5.3
Thank you for your help !!

Would it be possible to add an option to try multiple times before calling a device down? (ie set per device the number of pings, and only call it down when all fail, and use the average of the pings as the response time for the graphs)
I currently use Monit to do this, because a single ICMP fail (which is relatively common for a busy WiFi network, esp when people start streaming and WMM kicks in) will cause a device to be down, when it actually just missed a single ping... Monit has the option to allow me to set how many attempts it should do, but doesn't give me historic ping time graphs, which pinger does...

Hi.
I'm trying to add this plugin in my domoticz system (domoticz 4.11068, python 3.7.5, alpine Linux)
I add the plugin for ping only one host: 192.168..0.1
Here is what I get in logs whereas host is up:
Code: Select all

Do you have an idea of the issue ?

Did you follow the steps to set permission on the Domoticz' user to use the sockets for PINGing?

Where can I find these steps ?
I have no permission add for now.

Which OS are you running on?
Try (as the domoticz user):
getcap /usr/bin/ping
... and post the output, just to check whether your domoticz user has the required rights to ping...
(The error seems to indicate it does not: Operation not permitted)

Hi,
I run Domoticz since 2016 on a RPi2 and have upgraded recently to a RPi 4 running Buster and Domoticz 2020.2.
I tried this Pinger pluging and :
- it crashed my Domoticz web server at each install and uninstall of the hardware
- it showed a cumulative value of the ping instead of an instantaneous one.
- it keeps repeating the same error message in the log :
2020-05-12 19:44:15.853 Error: (Pinger-ICMP) ----> Line 147 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Pinger-Plugin/plugin.py', function onMessage 2020-05-12 19:44:15.861 Error: (Pinger-ICMP) 'onMessage' failed 'AttributeError':''NoneType' object has no attribute 'Close''. 2020-05-12 19:44:15.861 Error: (Pinger-ICMP) ----> Line 185 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Pinger-Plugin/plugin.py', function onMessage`
I removed the plugin files and uninstalled the hardware.
FYI I have several other plugins (installed both manually or via PP-manager) that work flawlessly.
Is this Ping-ICMP plugin dead?

Same mess here. I tried to uninstall, the interface won't let me do it, instead it crashes DZ. What would be this instructions to remove it manually. I guess it is needed to edit database? I posted an issue in Github.

I gave up on Pinger plugins, decided to create a small LUA routine myself. It calls a ping via os.execute.
Works OK, except it takes a long time when a target is not available. I tried the timeout setting but that makes no difference.
Beside that, I am happy.
In case someone is interested, here's the code:
Code: Select all
function Ping (IP)
local handler = io.popen("ping -c 1 "..IP)
local response = handler:read("*a")
i, j = string.find(response, "Destination Host Unreachable")
return (i == nil)
end
Call the function like this:
Code: Select all
if Ping(DeviceArray[i][2]) then
commandArray[DeviceArray[i][1]] = "On"
-- print ("@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ping "..DeviceArray[i][2]..", result: on")
else
commandArray[DeviceArray[i][1]] = "Off"
-- print ("@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ping "..DeviceArray[i][2]..", result: off")
end
Where DeviceArray contains IP address as first element, and name of device to reflect the status as second element.
For timeout, I tried adding the "-W 1" parameter, but it then always returns true even for IP addresses that I know are not running.
