Overview

This node performs a ping operation to a server, typically used to check the server's availability and responsiveness. It is useful in scenarios where you want to verify that a server is online and reachable before proceeding with further actions or workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. Checking if a server is online before attempting to fetch data.
2. Monitoring server uptime by periodically pinging the server.

Output

JSON

• status - The status of the ping operation, indicating if the server is reachable.
• responseTime - The time taken to receive a response from the server, useful for measuring latency.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the server if needed.

Troubleshooting

• If the node returns a timeout error, check the server URL and network connectivity.
• Authentication errors may occur if the API key or token is missing or invalid; ensure credentials are correctly configured.
