WMI query Win32_PingStatus

[Anonymous]

Hey Glenn,
First, a big thanks for this awesome tool.

Im trying to ping an ip adress and then get true or false as output.
I guess Win32_PingStatus is the way to go for this.

My line so far:

WMI=active:1,interval:0,color:ccffcc,text:VPN,namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus Where ” & _”Address = ‘ip goes here’,

And that’s about it. I’ve tried different queryes with no luck. And im not shure how to display the output. Property:ProtocolAddressResolved?

Sys info:
Windows 10 Enterprise 64-biters Versjon: 17134.112
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Desktop Info version 1.5.1.874

(getting latest version shortly)

Thanks again for a great tool.

Update:
This “works” and gives output 0 for true:

WMI=active:1,interval:0,color:ccffcc,text:VPN Status,namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus Where Address = “172.19.208.250”,property:PrimaryAddressResolutionStatus

Any idea how to make DI display tue or false instead?

The boolean formatting seems unreliable against an integer result but the bitmap formatting will work. This relies on the StatusCode having an error in the 11000 range.

Something like this:

WMI=active:1,interval:60,color:ccffcc,text:VPN Status,namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus Where Address = ‘172.19.208.250’,display:%StatusCode%[bit:11000:Not Available:Available]

where a Status Code of 0 returns ‘Available” and a StatusCode in the range of 11000 returns ‘Not Available’
