:Use ping to test the ECS-Lindorm connection

Procedure

1. View endpoints.

2. Log on to your ECS instance and run the following command.

   ping <host>

   Example:

   ping ld-bp1mq0tdzbx1m****-proxy-lindorm-pub.lindorm.aliyuncs.com

   Note

   • For host, use the endpoint obtained in Step 1. Do not include the port number.

   • This command works on both Windows and Linux.

3. Review the output. The following examples use a Lindorm time series engine endpoint.

   • Windows displays the test results after 4 ping attempts, as shown below.

     C:\Users\xxx>ping ld-bxxx-proxy-tsdb-pub.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com
     Pinging ld-bxxx-proxy-tsdb-pub.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com [xxx] with 32 bytes of data:
     Reply from xxx: bytes=32 time=51ms TTL=93
     Reply from xxx: bytes=32 time=43ms TTL=93
     Reply from xxx: bytes=32 time=46ms TTL=93
     Reply from xxx: bytes=32 time=45ms TTL=93
     Ping statistics for xxx:
         Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
     Approximate round trip times in milliseconds:
         Minimum = 43ms, Maximum = 51ms, Average = 46ms
     C:\Users\issuser>

     Note

     If you need to continuously test connectivity, use the ping <host> -t command.

   • After this command is run on a Linux system, it continuously sends ping requests. You can press Ctrl+C to stop the execution and view the statistics. An example is shown below.

     [root@iZbp1dcbb6ptxxx ~]# ping ld-bpxxx-proxy-tsdb-pub.lindorm.rds.aliyuncs.com

Result analysis

• A response to every request, as shown in the examples above, confirms that the connection is working correctly.

• If you do not receive a response, it indicates a connection problem. Check the configurations of your ECS and Lindorm instances, such as their whitelist or security group settings. For more information, see Lindorm connection issues and solutions.
