Thanks for reporting, this might be a regression
Plugin request: Service Monitor
-
Checks if a certain port is accessible every xx seconds, and you can set a corresponding icon, icon color for up, and icon color for down with a mouseover tooltip.
Can be in the bar at the top.
Would be good for service provider forums, game forums for game servers, etc. Just a random idea.
I'd love to do this myself but javascript isn't really my bag let alone nodeJS. I'm working on twilio (sms) notifications by picking apart @psychobunny's Chrome notifications since I've worked with Twilio a lot in the past, but even that is proving to be difficult for me, haha.

Im not sure I understand,
You mean you want to enter:
HOST: example.com
PORT: 1337HOST: example2.com
PORT: 9000etc ...
and have the server ping them every X seconds? and display up/down on the forum header?
I would assume you want support for multiple hosts, right?hmm..

@bentael Right, like you could name a service, so for example:
Service Name: "Super Duper Web Server"
Server Host or IP: 127.0.0.1
Service Port: 80
Icon:
Icon Colour (service up): Icon Colour (service down)
Check frequency (seconds): 60Then the icon you select would show up in the header in the colour that relates to it's status. When you mouseover it would show service name.
I could see this being useful for webhosts who have forums - they could list their webservers in the header, or game server hosts, game clan websites, little things like that. Was just a random idea I had.

Ha! Oh Twilio, I've used their service before. One of the best APIs I've used.
Would be nice to have a plugin that'll text you when you get notified... though I imagine it could get a little hairy if you don't throttle well. (e.g. 4 texts all related to one topic (chuckle))

Twilio is easily one of the best API's I've ever seen. It's so easy it's like the fisherprice of API's, haha.
Yeah I was thinking of a way you could ensure you're only notified when you want to be, or select specific type only like mentions only or messages only, something like that.

@theepiphany
can you provide a couple of hosts w/ ports to test ping.Trying to see if I can ping client-side.
-
hmm .. i don't know if it's possible client-side.. it's not quite working for me.
This thinks the host is always OPEN, ..
http://jsbin.com/OrobAsAV/11/edit?js,consoleanyone have an idea?
according to this, it should work, where did I barf? -
Everything shows open for me as well. Even the example that @baris gave.
I'm not 100% sure you can check open ports via pure javascript except from maybe the client side? I've seen some javascript "port scanners" but I believe they check to see whether or not the client can access that port, not necessarily if it's online.
-
@theepiphany yea it's easier server-side (or in NodeJS in this case), but I was trying to have that done on the browser somehow.. to save some bandwidth on the server .. that could get really hairy if you have a lot of users online and a lot servers to ping.
-
ill give it another shot tomorrow.. gotta finish up some stuff for my day-job.
-
Still not successful client-side
-- need server hAlp -
@julian yea but i try some fake url it would say OPEN
http://jsbin.com/OrobAsAV/16/edit?js,console
do you think that's because the fake url doesn't even resolve, so the onerror would trigger immediately?so I would need another way to resolve?
