Performing ping and tracert operations using DITT

You can use DITT (DataMiner IT Tools) in an EPM environment to ping and trace any device that has an endpoint. With DITT, you can do this without any need for extra code. You can add the ping button and trace button to your visual overview and use them to connect to DITT and perform the desired operation.

For detailed info, see Implementing DITT in a visual overview.
