Feature Request: Real-time Server Monitoring

[scotscoder]

It would be very good if there was a feature to monitor servers in real-time, so that we can see their status, ping, packet loss, etc. easily from the Connections window. It should be configurable with the option to choose how often the monitoring updates in seconds/minutes.

This would tie in very well with issue #370.

The thing is, most other tools that I know use some form of agent to accomplish that. XPipe tries to be agentless, so all that information would have to be retrieved in a shell session open in the background using commands available on the server. Could not use custom programs.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, it's just a lot more tricky to do.

That's understandable. What about just a simple detection that pings the server on a user-defined schedule and shows a red or green LED type indicator for the status?

I'm not sure how much of such features could be integrated into the GUI as that makes it more complex to look at.

For now, have you tried how the https://github.com/xpipe-io/xpipe-python-api could work out for you to do a simple reachable check in an interval for all your systems? You could also run custom commands with that to check the status of services

I'll have a look at that. Thanks.

If you don't like python, the raw HTTP API that takes json does the same thing.
