Ping & Traceroute as Validation Tool

Hello Dojo Community,

As part of a large-scale DataMiner transformation programme, we are validating connectivity between multiple critical endpoints using PowerShell Test-NetConnection, ping and traceroute. Some ports are reachable (e.g., 4222/6222) while others fail (e.g., 9090/8222 depending on endpoint). Rather than maintaining manual checks, I would like to operationalise this validation within DataMiner and continuously monitor:

  • IP reachability
  • TCP port reachability
  • Traceroute/path changes
  • Latency
  • NATS client/cluster/monitoring ports

Has anyone implemented a scalable approach using the Ping protocol to embed the TCP test result on the specific port to alarm on connectivity degradation? Any examples or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Samson, here is a documented solution use case which I believe is what you are looking for - Ping Monitoring - DataMiner Dojo

Along with the Generic Ping connector this shows the results in a custom app - Ping Monitoring | Catalog | dataminer.services

More information is available in the Docs - Ping Monitoring tool | DataMiner Docs

Hope this helps,

Steve
