    ​You don't ping URLs. You ping IP addresses or host names that then get resolved into IP addresses by means of DNS.

    Automic has no built-in facilities for either. You can use the OS ping command from a JOBS to ping any IP address or hostname you can reach via network means (i.e. ICMP not firewalled). If you want to monitor URLs, you can use text-based tools such as wget or curl (stock in Linux, downloadable for Windows), then evaluate return codes or REST replies via return codes, also from an Automic JOBS.

    Hth,

    No need to install curl or wget on Windows ;-)

    Powershell:
    Test-NetConnection -Computername <hostname> -Port <port>

    ..or for the web:
    Invoke-RestMethod
    Invoke-WebRequest
