go-pinger

A simple Go app to ping websites. This is a simple Go application to ping websites for fun 😀😉.

How it works

There is a CSV file ping_urls.csv from which the application will read the list of urls to ping. For each url we will create a goroutine. After that, we will wait to receive channel messages from the goroutines. Once we receive all the messages for the urls we will bulk insert the results into MongoDB a single document for each of the response of a url. We will be uploading the following data to MongoDB

• URL
• Error if any
• Time Taken To Complete The Request
• Http Status Code
