# Python
|
|
|
|
If you are already using the requests library, it is convenient to also use it here:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
requests.get("PING_URL", timeout=10)
|
|
except requests.RequestException as e:
|
|
# Log ping failure here...
|
|
print("Ping failed: %s" % e)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you can use the urllib module from Python 3 standard libary:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import socket
|
|
import urllib.request
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
urllib.request.urlopen("PING_URL", timeout=10)
|
|
except socket.error as e:
|
|
# Log ping failure here...
|
|
print("Ping failed: %s" % e)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can include additional diagnostic information in the in the request body (for POST requests):
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Passing diagnostic information in the POST body:
|
|
import requests
|
|
requests.post("PING_URL", data="temperature=-7")
|
|
``` |
