User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
Name	Name of the selected Node type inventory CI.
ID	ID of the selected Node type inventory CI.
CI Type	Subtype of the selected Node type inventory CI.
	IP Ping. Displays the IP Ping Settings dialog box, which enables you to specify the following values to perform a network IP ping: IP Address. Select the IP address of your target node (in IPv4 or IPv6 format) from the drop-down list of available IP addresses.

Number of attempts for the selected probe to perform IP ping. Default value: 4. Timeout (ms). Frequency (in milliseconds) that the selected probe shall try to perform IP ping. Default value: 60,000 (ms).
	Ping with UD Agent. Displays the UD Agent Ping Settings dialog box, which enables you to specify the following values to perform a network ping with UD agent: IP Address. Select an IP address from the drop-down list of available IP addresses. You can also manually enter the IP address (in IPv4 or IPv6 format) of a target node. Credential.

By default all credentials available for the selected protocol type are selected. If there is no existing credential, click to create one. Probe. Select a probe from the drop-down list of connected probes to ping with UD agent. Timeout (ms). Frequency (in milliseconds) that the selected probe shall try to ping with UD agent. Default value: 60,000 (ms).
<Result Pane>	Displays the result returned by the selected probe after performing IP ping, UD agent ping, or SNMP ping against a selected inventory CI of the Node CI type. For IP Ping, the result is the output of the ping command. For Ping with UD Agent or Ping with SNMP, the result is either success or failure. An error message follows when the network ping fails.
