host - ping a host
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Check a host is pingable.
.. tip:: This monitor relies on executing the ``ping`` command provided by your OS. It has known issues on non-English locales on Windows. You should use the :ref:`ping<ping>` monitor instead. The only reason to use this one is that it does not require SimpleMonitor to run as root.
.. confval:: host
:type: string
:required: true
the hostname/IP to ping
.. confval:: ping_regexp
:type: regexp
:required: false
:default: automatic
the regexp which matches a successful ping. You may need to set this to use this monitor in a non-English locale.
.. confval:: time_regexp
:type: regexp
:required: false
:default: automatic
the regexp which matches the ping time in the output. Must set a match group named ``ms``. You may need to set this as above.
.. confval:: count
:type: int
:required: false
:default: ``1``
the number of pings to send
