@CommanderStorm this is ready for the final review. We'll make a PR for the wiki once this is merged. Let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed. Thanks.

For the ping I noticed that the Numeric Output has no influence on the output in the UI so I did not include it for Globalping's Ping

[jimaek]

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help the review go smoother!

[CommanderStorm]

Given the size of the PR, I will need to part time this one, but as this is +1k lines, I think this is understandable.
In this PR, I reviewed the backend and the frontend will be another Review.

I have to say, I am very positively suppried by the level of depth you went for. There are a lot of places which I would have missed on this one.

For the backend, please move the DNS monitor to another PR, I don't think that integrates well against our existing internal API and might need either splitting or a better API.

@jimaek
if possible, could you review if the UI matches what you would like messaging wise by either:

• seeing the translation strings for a more compact reivew
• or by fully test-driving it and seeing the helptexts/.. in action via npx kuma-pr radulucut:feature/add-globalping-support

I am not entirely sure what you and Radu's relationship is, if you are both working for/on the JSDeliver, feel free to ignore

[jimaek]

Yep we're working together on Globalping. So I already tested his PR before he sent it. We tried to prepare a polished experience

Thanks for the feedback, we will start working on it shortly 😃

Hey, let us know if there's anything missing! And we can prepare the separate DNS PR as well

[lupaulus]

Big PR, for me adding the new fields is fine, but you need to add the globalping verification condition. If tomorrow this subtype is used by another monitor with (ping), it would cause problems.

Similarly, you need to reduce the complexity of certain functions by breaking them down and adding tests, particularly for the response verification part.

If you can send a test apikey it would be nice to test.

Sorry for the long review times on this one, my real work is being quite buisy the last few weeks

[jimaek]

No worries. Just let us know when it looks good and we can send the separate DNS PR as well.

[CommanderStorm]

Yes, separate PR would be nice.
But lets do this PR first, otherwise it is more work for you to merge/rebase. 😉

[radulucut]

@CommanderStorm let me know if there's anything else. Thanks.
