Check connectivity

Allows you to instantly check the connectivity and integrity of all devices on the site.

Connectivity check result (green badges).

How it works

Unlike a simple ICMP ping, Avalon performs a complete management validation to ensure the device is truly controllable.

The process consists of two steps for each device:

1. SSH Connection: Avalon connects via SSH with the configured credentials.
2. Hostname Verification: Avalon compares the device hostname with the one in the inventory to ensure the IP matches the expected device.

Visual indicators

The status is displayed via a colored badge located at the top-left of each device icon.

• Grey badge: Default state. The connectivity has not been checked yet, or the last check is outdated.
• Green badge: Success. The device is reachable via SSH, and its hostname matches the inventory.
• Red badge: Failure. This can indicate:
  • Network unreachable (timeout).
  • Authentication failure (wrong credentials).
  • Hostname mismatch (the device found at this IP is not the one expected).

Actions

• Check Connectivity: Clicking this button in the left sidebar triggers the process for all devices on the map simultaneously. The badges update in real-time as results come in.
