• Handle failures immediately instead of waiting for timeout: Enabling this feature may make sense for handling
certain AutoPing target types which may return an explicit error (TCP RST, HTTP 500, etc.) by invoking
the task immediately instead of waiting for the timeout to pass (during which the error condition could have
disappeared and no action would have been taken). Consider the setup and AutoPing action when enabling
this option (e.g. you shouldn't enable it if the AutoPing action is to power cycle a server, you need to shut one
of its services down temporarily for maintenance and it's the only target of the AutoPing entry).
• Activate enabled entries without trial on service restoration: By default enabled entries still need to wait for a
certain number of successful ping responses on initial power-up before AutoPing actions are taken to make
sure the targets have come online as well (in the assumption that they might have suffered a power failure as
well and may need time to recover). This option can be used to disable this additional check.

To actually use AutoPing, add one or more AutoPing targets (IP addresses) to the list. The
button is used to
remove a target from the list.
Below is an example autoping configuration with four targets:

Individual AutoPing settings
The checkbox to the left of the IP address is used to start/stop target monitoring. Confirm your action with
button. This button is also used to link a list of outlets or a script line to the autoping target.
You can select the outlets to perform trigger action on by ticking their respective checkboxes.
You can select a scripting action to perform when the AutoPing item triggers (by default the selected outlets are
cycled). The action must be a function defined in the scripting server, like
function action_to_perform()
