Hello, 

i have a module which contains IP for some machines, i want to ping the IP, and show the status of the ping inside odoo.

 i have a field for the IP and a field for its ping status. 

how to make the status field change? can i use a button to ping the IP and change the status depending on the output?

if so, can you help me doing that, and i don't mind any other suggestion :)

Thanks;
