Description

Check if a port of a server is active, measure response time

is_up() checks if a web server is up.

Usage

ping_port(
  destination,
  port = 80L,
  continuous = FALSE,
  verbose = continuous,
  count = 3L,
  timeout = 1
)

is_up(
  destination,
  port = 80,
  timeout = 0.5,
  fail_on_dns_error = FALSE,
  check_online = TRUE
)

Arguments

destination

Host name or IP address.

port

Port.

continuous

Logical, whether to keep pinging until the user interrupts.

verbose

Whether to print progress on the screen while pinging.

count

Number of pings to perform.

timeout

Timeout, in seconds. How long to wait for a ping to succeed.

fail_on_dns_error

If TRUE then is_up() fails if the DNS resolution fails. Otherwise it will return FALSE.
