Hey,

I installed net-ping and now everytime I want to start the app I get this error:

    App threw an error during load
    Error: DLL-Initialising failed
    \\?\C:\PATH\node_modules\raw-socket\build\Release\raw.node

the build\release folder contains raw.node

I get this
CXX(target) Release/obj.target/raw/src/raw.o
../src/raw.cc:662:21: error: expected ';' after expression

^
;
../src/raw.cc:662:11: error: no member named 'Utf8String' in 'v8::String'
String::Utf8String address (args[3]);

and many more errors.

The error is that in the traceRoute you call "callback" instead of "doneCallback" if an id can't be generated.

You could allow pinging host names using https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html to resolve A record either IPv6 or IPv6.
If you like the idea I could setup pull request.

Sorry, it replicates #8

I am using net-ping for a small nodejs project to ping a list of IP adresses after regular interval, while testing locally on my windows machine it gives correct result , the dead IP address return error. But as i deployed the application to bitnami linux server net-ping stoped giving me error on the dead IP adresses.Although it gives error when i try to ping an incorrect ip address i.e 1.1.1.10000 etc.
here is the code i am using to ping :
function ping(user) {
var options = {
networkProtocol: netPing.NetworkProtocol.IPv4,
packetSize: 4,
retries: 0,
sessionId: (process.pid % 65535),
timeout: 1000,
ttl: 128
};
let session = netPing.createSession(options);
session.pingHost(user.ip, function (error, target) {
console.log(error+'----'+target);
// gives null on error even for dead IP address
if (error) {
......//
} else {
......///
}
}
});

The unexpected behavior is that the traceroute stops after it got three timeouts. I noticed that it is in the documentation, but I had forgot about it. Since many ISP:s block ICMP on some of their equipment, it is common for multiple hosts to not respond. The value of how many timeouts to allow can't be changed since it is hard coded. I want to be able to change that value.

Hi, I'm not sure why its not pinging every time I call this. Even if I create session beforehand and re-use it.

// const session = ping.createSession({ timeout: 1000 });
setInterval(() => { 
    ping.createSession({ timeout: 1000 }).pingHost('8.8.8.8', (error, target) => {
        if (error)
            if (error instanceof ping.RequestTimedOutError)
                console.log('Cannot ping google...');
            else
                console.log(`Error pinging google: ${error.toString()}`);
        else
            console.log('Can ping google.');
    });
}, 2000);

Thanks!

Hello,
I tried using same as the documentation and it gets successfully compiled on terminal while it shows
TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
on the browser side can you help me with the issue.
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm getting this errors in logs and then app crashs.

node: ../deps/uv/src/unix/poll.c:88: uv_poll_stop: Assertion !(handle->flags & (UV_CLOSING | UV_CLOSED))' failed.`

This happens on Ubuntu server with running node v6.10.0 and net-ping v. 1.2.0

I've found that recently node-uptime project facing with such proplem:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nodejs/obdxquewUcE

This usually happens when network has performance issues, such as packet lost and transmit/receive delays. In my app case this could happen 5-7 times for 24 hours.

My ping code looks like this:\

getPing = function(session, host, cbSuccess, cbError, reqTimeout){
  if(!session){
    var timeout   = (reqTimeout || 2)*1000;
    var session   = netPing.createSession({
      packetSize : 64,
      retries    : 2,
      timeout    : timeout 
    });
    session.on('error', function(error){
      logMsg(`ping error ${host} error: ` + error.toString());
      session.close ();
    });
  }
  session.pingHost(host, (error, target, sent, rcvd)=>{
    if(error) {
      cbError(error.toString());
    } else {
      var rtt = rcvd - sent;
      cbSuccess({status:'ok', result:'ok', data:rtt});
    }
    session.close();
  });
  return session;
}

Thanks, Roman.

I ping remote server from centos 7 server. If remote server is down, I get several RequestTimedOutError and then I get only. DestinationUnreachableError, what is absolutly fine for me. But when I try to ping same remote server from centos 6 server, I get only RequestTimedOutError. Is there any way to fix return error?

But i am able to install on my mac which is using the same verison of node and npm.

I've tested the times reported by your lib and they are pretty inaccurate. Unix ping uses Timestampt reply packet for response time calculation.
Would be awesome if you expose those times instead of sent and rcvd dates.

e.g

session.pingHost ('192.168.0.1', function (error, target, stat) {
    stat.sent       // Originate timestamp
    stat.receive  // Receive timestamp
    stat.transmit // Transmit timestamp
});

Keep up good work!

Hi, I was looking for a package like this one, but what I was searching specifically was QoS support, do you have any plans to add it?

Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

Hope that you are fine. Luckily (or unluckily :)), I'm again the 1st to open an issue regarding net-ping.. this time on GitHub.

The BitBucket repo was removed, so, couldn't find the answer of a pre-replied question.

After installing net-ping, I get the error below while running the .js file:
C:\Users\u\test\node_modules\net-ping\node_modules\raw-socket\build\Release\raw.node

which I had asked the same question on BitBucket and remember that it was a path-related issue. However, couldn't find a solution this time and wanted to re-ask.

Thanks very much.

Looks like I am having an issue on Windows 10 installing net-ping. It's looking for the Windows SDK version 8.1, having Windows 10 this might be an issue. It looks to be targeting the Raw Socket. I attached the full error log.

Hello,
I want to run the node-net-ping with reactjs and i make it with create-react-app v1.5.1.
The node-net-ping i install with npm and then i use the code below to make ping test :

var ping = require ("net-ping");
var session = ping.createSession ();

session.pingHost ("8.8.8.8", function (error, target) {
if (error)
console.log (target + ": " + error.toString ());
else
console.log (target + ": Alive");
});`

But the process end with error below :
./node_modules/raw-socket/index.js
Module not found: Can't resolve './build/Release/raw' in '/Users/me/Desktop/nodenetping/node_modules/raw-socket'

I'm using Nodejs v8.9.4 & npm v5.6.0 on macOS Sierra v10.12.6

Another thing, sometimes it makes sense to start the trace at a later node, by starting with a TTL that is greater than one, but this value is also hard coded in the source.

I get this error on Windows 10

Error: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

here was the code I was using

gulp.task('suman', [], function (cb) {

    //first ping server to make sure it's running, otherwise, continue

    var session = ping.createSession ();

    session.pingHost ('localhost:6969', function (error, target) {
        if (error){
            var server = require('./index').Server();
            server.on('listening', function () {
                session.close();
                cb();
            });
        }
        else{
            session.close();
        }
    });

});

I am using Promise all because I want to ping ~400 hosts at a time.
It seems like trying to ping ~10 hosts (or more) randomly fails.
I have never been able to ping say even 50+ at the same time ever.
Does ping or raw socket have some concurrent ping limitations or settings?

C:>node --version
v8.9.3

Promise all and async-await (anything that tries to ping multiple in parallel) fails with high numbers of simultaneous pings:

Hi,
I've created such function with closure

getPing = function(host, cbSuccess, cbError, reqTimeout){
  var timeout   = (reqTimeout || 2)*1000;
  var session   = netPing.createSession({
    packetSize : 64,
    retries    : 2,
    timeout    : timeout
  });
  session.on('error', function(error){
    logMsg(`ping on error ${host} error: ` + error.toString());
    session.close ();
  });
  return ()=>{
    session.pingHost(host, (error, target, sent, rcvd)=>{
      if(error) {
        logMsg(`ping ${target} error: ` + error.toString());
        cbError(error.toString());
      } else {
        var rtt = rcvd - sent;
        cbSuccess({status:'ok', result:'ok', data:rtt});
      }
      session.close();
    });
  }
}

It works, but if I got in log: ping 10.3.4.21 error: RequestTimedOutError: Request timed out,
it will stop calling callbacks until I restart whole project.

Any suggestion how to correct this issue?

Thanks, Roman.

Compilation requires Python support?

when i try to send trace-route request to some unreachable Ip, i get below error as many as configured "ttl" times i.e. default is 30, so i get below trials 30 times, in-spite of the fact that retries option during createSession is configured for 3, so why not try 3 times and give up!?

"hopErrorCode": "DestinationUnreachableError: Destination unreachable (source=blahblah)"
"hopErrorCode": "DestinationUnreachableError: Destination unreachable (source=blahblah)".
"hopErrorCode": "DestinationUnreachableError: Destination unreachable (source=blahblah)".
..
..
"hopErrorCode": "DestinationUnreachableError: Destination unreachable (source=blahblah)".

Primarily why not giving same treatment to "DestinationUnreachableError" as you give to "RequestTimedOutError " ?

Hi Stephen,

We are using net-ping very widely and it works great. Yet, to day, we have experienced an issue the 1st time.

Although we can ping the IP 177.54.146.154 from the computers, net-ping can't ping it from the same computers. Here is the test code:

var ping = require ("net-ping");

var pingOptions4 = {networkProtocol: ping.NetworkProtocol.IPv4, retries: 2,timeout: 5000, packetSize: 32};
var session = ping.createSession (pingOptions4);

session.on ("error", function (error) {
  console.log('error is:' + error);
});

session.pingHost ("177.54.146.154", function (error, target) {
    if (error) {
        console.log (target + ": Off");
    } else {
        console.log (target + ": Alive");
    }
});

Something causes the net-ping fail on this IP and couldn't debug what it can be. Any ideas?

I get this error with net-ping 1.1.12 and Node 5.5.0

module.js:440
  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

npm packages are not working with my meteor version of 1.1.0.3 . please confirm?

I was just trying to install the module to an AWS instance and couldn't manage to install net-ping.

I have tried with different Nodejs, npm and net-ping versions but all failed similarly.

It always worked fine with AWS and couldn't find out why it failed this time.

Here is the full install log and will be glad to get your thoughts.

This all happened before I stopped it. Below is the output from just a straight tracert command, with the same IP.

I'm not sure what else to look for? The same code worked correctly on macOS, but I cannot get it to work on Windows.

The code:

var np = require('net-ping')
var sources = []

var session = np.createSession({
    retries: 5,
    _debug: true,
    timeout: 5000
})

session.traceRoute('24.105.12.221', options, feedCallback, doneCallback)

function doneCallback (error, target) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(target + ':', error.toString())
    } else {
        console.log('Trace Route Done')
        console.log('Sources', sources')
    }
}

function feedCallback (error, target, ttl, sent, rcvd) {
    if (error && error.source) {
        sources.push(error.source)
    }
}

Thoughts?

do you know about any such problem?

on Windows 7 x64 using [email protected] and [email protected] having Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition I ran into the error that npm cound not find C:/Program Files (x86)/MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V110/Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props and hence couldn't build.

resolved this by setting the VC target path with
SET VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140

Tried again npm install node-net-ping and this time it compiled and installed with some minor warnings, checked the example and that worked.

PS: This was my issue related to VS2015 and npm compiling.

I have tried using node v4.5.0 LTS and v6.5.0, but receive the same error in both instances.

I'm seeing some interesting behavior that I can reproduce reliably, but not sure how to troubleshoot. If I have a script that pings a given host on an interval, once I break the network ACL (intentionally) to force a ping fail, the library does what I expect. And then when I fix the ACL to allow traffic again, the library again does what I expect and ping is successful.

However, once again I try to force a failure by breaking the ACL (disallowing all ICMP traffic to the target host), pings continue to be successful.

Any thoughts?

Here is the script I am running to reproduce:

Node runtime: 6.10
Mac OS X: 10.11.6
raw-socket: 1.5.1

'use strict';

const ping      = require('net-ping');
const session   = ping.createSession({ timeout: 1000 });

setInterval( () => {
  session.pingHost( 'some-public-ipv4', ( err, target ) => {
    if ( err ) {
      console.log('ping fail');
    } else {
      console.log('ping success');
    }
  })
}, 3000 );

I am using AWS security group configs to force the success/failure states (by blocking/allowing ICMP traffic)

Here's the script output (annotated for reference)

$ node test.js
ping fail
ping fail
ping fail
ping fail
ping fail
# fix ACL
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success
# break ACL again 
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success
ping success

Callback is called second time on index.js:339 while using .prototype.pingHost.
Firts time callback is being called on index.js:298.
It sometimes reproduces while setting short timeouts for Session, try to set timeout: 1

Looks like this lib depends on "raw-socket", according to npm ls / npm la command like so:

I think I should take it up with the "raw-socket" folks, but maybe you can verify that my observations described above are true? thanks

I chose this module to ping domain names that are being setup in DNS to detect when they come available but I'm not able to do so because I get an error stating "Invalid IP address".

I was not able to install net-ping with node version 4.0

Can you explain what is the rational behind using raw socket for node-net-ping?

Requiring root privilege on Linux is a pain for my use case but mostly I'm curious about the reason.

Thanks

Great program Stepen, works perfectly for me. I would like to send output to the stream instead of console, and don't know when to stop sending to the stream. So my question is how do I know net-ping is finished (got all responses and timeouts)

I need to get the packet loss information for each ping, Please let me know if there is a way using node-net-ping that we can use to get this information.

Working with node, angular & election app, trying to use your module to ping some IP to check the device status.

var pingSession = require("net-ping").createSession();

getting the following Error @ line raw-socket/index.js: 47

Operation not permitted

Please suggest me how to resolve this.
