In this video tutorial we will b creating a very simple Internet monitor dashboard that will tell us if the Internet connection is up or down,how often it has failed and the time and duration of the last failure.
This is version 1 of a project which I will develop further and hopefully with feedback .
The flow uses the configurable ping node to ping a web based sever at an interval( 10secs) if it fails it then pings two further web based severs to check if it really is an internet connection fail or just a problem with the server.
It uses flow variables to store and display the results.
