A SysInfo plugin measure can be used to see if the computer is connected either to Internet, or to a LAN, using either a SysInfoType=INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY or a SysInfoType=LAN_CONNECTIVITY option. I suppose it is done this way.

Yup that is exactly what I'm using

Code: Select all

[MeasureLANConectivity]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=LAN_CONNECTIVITY
Substitute="-1":"Down","1":"Up"
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureWANConectivity]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY
Substitute="-1":"Down","1":"Up"
DynamicVariables=1

Alright, however note that there is no need to set dynamic variables on none of these measures.
