What is myIP - Check/Validate Public IP from PLM

Feature Request

For the on-premise agents, it would be great if we could have a check that tests the internet connections public IP. This is useful when working with any white-list IP restrictions and ensuring ISPs don’t change your public IP without telling you.

We could do this now using various external providers such as icanhazip.com, https://www.ipify.org/ and others, but these are free therefore subject to change and downtime without notice.

    Hi Andrew! So basically a check type that runs a curl that can report back the external IP address the request came from and report the IP back. If the expected string doesnt match, then its considered down? Something like that? Essentially a “what is my IP address” like functionality. It would make any sense to run it from a public pop as it will always return the POP IP and we already publish that. But a check like this running from a PLM is pretty simple to build. Does that all make sense and what your expecting?
