feat: PsPingPlugin added

[deyanp]

Did not really find unit tests for PingPlugin, so not sure what/how such should be created for PsPingPlugin ...

@deyanp
I think that later we can add UDP support too :)

[AntyaDev]

@deyanp I am just thinking: does it make sense to make a few calls and then take the average result? I guess that PsPing is behaving like this since it has a histogram and warmup

does it make sense to make a few calls and then take the average result?

@AntyaDev, yes, 100%, I was actually surprised that it only makes a single call (which is very unreliable). How can that be done?

[AntyaDev]

I think in case you don't have a timeout on the first call:

• you can retry this call (for example 3 times) via Seq.map
• use Seq.average

another way is to provide some percentiles but it can be used later, for now I think it's ok to use average

[deyanp]

@AntyaDev is it possible to make multiple pings during the load tests execution?

[AntyaDev]

I think that ping logic should be executed sequential to get the most correct results.

parallel execution may affect the result.

[deyanp]

You are right. I will make the number of executions configurable, default to 4.

I guess this PR is already closed, so I need to submit a new PR?

[AntyaDev]

yes, better new PR
