Determining PPP Link status from Node-Red flow.

[Tom Hill]

One of the things that I need to figure out if the PPP link status in my node-red flows, especially when I need to make an http request call to a remote server. If the PPP status is down for a given time period I would like to be able to use an alternative method to connect to the remote server for ex: via a satellite modem. How would I determine the PPP link status from my node-red flow?

I see that in the Admin UI of the conduit, the status is clearly available regarding the PPP link. Is there a way to query for the same value displayed in the Conduit Admin UI?

Thanks,
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,

You can create a http node in node red and issue the following command to fetch the status of the ppp connection

Thanks a lot Bryan for you response. Is this documented anywhere so in the future if I have questions regarding the status of other fields I can just look up this document or link.

Thanks,
Yogesh
