Request: Ping From Router

[Lekskog]

Is it possible to make so you can Ping a server via the router.
For example i want to ping 8.8.8.8 every 30 seconds via my edgerouter to check my delay to the internet.

looks like it is possible and pretty easy to implement,
need to subscribe to new topic over websocket:

{"SUBSCRIBE":[{"name":"ping-feed","sub_id":"ping1","target":"8.8.8.8","count":"","size":""}],"UNSUBSCRIBE":[],"SESSION_ID":"1234"}

and then the websocket will report the status:

{
    "ping1": "PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.\n64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.174 ms\n"
}

using that practice I can add also bandwidth test, trace route and packet sniffer
