Online Check Provider

The Online Check Provider periodically tests whether a remote host is reachable using Ping or HTTP requests. It reports the host state, last check time and response status, which is ideal for monitoring servers or services directly from your tyckr watchface or widget.

Configuration

    The IP or URL of the host to check.

    Caution
    For a HTTP check, use a valid and complete URL, like http(s)://www.abc.com.
  • Mode
    The check mode:

    Mode Description

    Ping

    Ping has a timeout of 10 seconds.

    HTTP Get
