Hey guys,
I'm pretty weak in the programing/scripting department to say the least, but I have a need for a simple and graphical way for a user(non-technical) to tell if DNS/ping is working.
Here's the scenario: I'm a sysadmin for a company that deploys workers for service on a variety of manufacturing equipment. The equipment has software that connects back to a central server via SSL tunnel. The connectivity of the equipment is reliant on getting correct DNS information from our customers as well as ensuring we can navigate their proxy/firewall settings.
What I'd like is to be able to have a script or program to check a few URLs and verify the success/failure of some pings that the tech can run on his/her laptop. This would be for a non-technical end user, so it would be great if it was in the form of a web page or something that gave a simple read out based upon some DNS settings entered into it.
Does something like this exist? I've seen some server up/down stuff out there, but it requires the user to setup a lot and that's the biggest hurdle.
am I over/under thinking this?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
