@globalping/n8n-nodes-globalping

This is an n8n community node. It lets you use Globalping in your n8n workflows.

The Globalping node allows you to perform network measurements such as ping, traceroute, mtr, http and DNS lookups from a specified location. You can use this node to test network connections, do latency checks or troubleshoot connectivity issues from various regions.

Credentials Usage

Installation

1. Go to n8n Settings in bottom left
2. Select "Community nodes"
3. Enter @globalping/n8n-nodes-globalping and install

Operations

• All measurements support both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints, as long as you manually enable it per measurement.

• The location field is smart enough to accept many different types of inputs. Learn more about the magic location field.

• While the Globalping network is large and is constantly expanding we can't guarantee a probe in every single location. Explore our online probes on our website

  Measurements:

  • Ping - Ping an endpoint using ICMP. Default 3 packets.
  • Traceroute - Traceroute an endpoint using ICMP, TCP or UDP on any port.
  • DNS - Resolve a DNS record of any type. By default the local resolver is used but a different one can be provided. For troubleshooting purposes the trace function can be enabled.
  • MTR - MTR an endpoint using ICMP, TCP or UDP on any port.
  • HTTP - Make an HTTP GET or HEAD request to any URL. Responses are limited to first 10kb. Note that the Host and User-Agent headers are reserved and internally overridden.

  Probes:

  • List - returns a list of all probes currently online and their metadata such as location and assigned tags.

  Limits:

  • List - returns rate limits for the current user if authenticated or IP address if not authenticated.

Credentials

Globalping is free to use, and doesn't require authentication. However, it implements rate limits to ensure fair usage and reliability. Sign up on the Globalping Dashboard to enjoy higher limits. Learn more about limits.

To take advantage of the higher limits you need to generate a token in the dashboard and store it in n8n by setting Access token in Credentials of your workflow.

Usage

Create a workflow and add Globalping node with operation you need. Make sure to enable "Authentication" in each step if you have provided your token and want to use it.
