Network ping checks

On the farm, I need to ping hosts to make sure all the antennas and routers are working correctly. I have historically been doing this with a Tasmota device using the following ruleset:

rule1
ON Time#Initialized DO backlog ruletimer2 10; var2 1 ENDON   
on rules#timer==2 do backlog add2 1; ruletimer2 8; event t1=%var2% endon   
on var2#state>=12 do var2 1 endon   
on event#t1==1 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.144; var3 MoringaRouter endon   
on event#t1==2 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.9; var3 DortoirRouter endon   
on event#t1==3 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.22; var3 ClinicRouter endon   
on event#t1==4 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.14; var3 CouvoirRouter endon   
on event#t1==5 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.33; var3 MSRouter endon   
on event#t1==6 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.53; var3 GuardRouter endon   
on event#t1==7 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.29; var3 JohannesRouter endon   
on event#t1==8 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.64; var3 SchoolRouter endon   
on event#t1==9 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.137; var3 AtelierRouter endon   
on event#t1==10 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.52; var3 DogoRouter endon   
on event#t1==11 do backlog ping4 192.168.3.11; var3 BouchRouter endon
on ping#?#Success do WebQuery http://192.168.3.98:8086/write?db=homeautomation&rp=four_weeks POST ping,device=%var3% value=%value% ENDON

However, I can do the same thing a little faster with a debian system.

sudo nano ~/ping_monitor.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Configuration
HOSTS_FILE="list.txt"
INFLUXDB_URL="http://192.168.3.98:8086/write?db=homeautomation&rp=four_weeks"
PING_COUNT=4
INTERVAL=10

# Function to ping a host and return success count
ping_host() {
    local ip=$1
    local host=$2
    
    # Ping the host and count successful responses
    local success_count=$(ping -c $PING_COUNT -W 1 "$ip" 2>/dev/null | grep -c "bytes from")
    
    echo "$success_count"
}

# Function to send data to InfluxDB
send_to_influxdb() {
    local host=$1
    local value=$2
    
    # InfluxDB line protocol format
    local data="ping,device=$host value=$value"
    
    # Send to InfluxDB
    curl -s -XPOST "$INFLUXDB_URL" --data-binary "$data" > /dev/null 2>&1
    
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - $host: $value/4 pings successful - sent to InfluxDB"
    else
        echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - $host: $value/4 pings successful - FAILED to send to InfluxDB"
    fi
}

# Main monitoring loop
echo "Starting ping monitor..."
echo "Hosts file: $HOSTS_FILE"
echo "InfluxDB: $INFLUXDB_URL"
echo "Interval: ${INTERVAL}s"
echo "---"

while true; do
    # Read hosts file and process each line
    while IFS=',' read -r ip host; do
        # Skip empty lines
        [ -z "$ip" ] && continue
        
        # Ping host in background to parallelize
        (
            success_count=$(ping_host "$ip" "$host")
            send_to_influxdb "$host" "$success_count"
        ) &
        
    done < "$HOSTS_FILE"
    
    # Wait for all background pings to complete
    wait
    
    # Sleep until next interval
    sleep $INTERVAL
done
