# Ping input plugin
# Ping Input plugin
This input plugin will measures the round-trip
## Windows:
### Configuration:
```
## urls to ping
urls = ["www.google.com"] # required
## number of pings to send per collection (ping -n <COUNT>)
count = 4 # required
## Ping timeout, in seconds. 0 means default timeout (ping -w <TIMEOUT>)
Timeout = 0
```
# NOTE: this plugin forks the ping command. You may need to set capabilities
# via setcap cap_net_raw+p /bin/ping
[[inputs.ping]]
## List of urls to ping
urls = ["www.google.com"] # required
## number of pings to send per collection (ping -c <COUNT>)
# count = 1
## interval, in s, at which to ping. 0 == default (ping -i <PING_INTERVAL>)
# ping_interval = 1.0
## per-ping timeout, in s. 0 == no timeout (ping -W <TIMEOUT>)
# timeout = 1.0
## interface to send ping from (ping -I <INTERFACE>)
# interface = ""
```
### Measurements & Fields:
- packets_transmitted ( from ping output )
- reply_received ( increasing only on valid metric from echo replay, eg. 'Destination net unreachable' reply will increment packets_received but not reply_received )
- packets_received ( from ping output )
