Ok, here is a way to ping from the mid server: ECC Queue Command Line Worker - ServiceNow Wiki
The instructions describe manually creating an ECC Queue entry.
Alternately, you can create a probe and test it. In Discovery Definition / Probes, create a new probe with:
- Topic = Command
- Name = <your command>, e.g. "ping -n 4 8.8.8.8"
Save the probe, and hit "test probe," select a mid server at the prompt, ignoring the "run probe against" field.
Since we were (ok, I was) too lazy to create a sensor, it reports an error when it comes back, but you should see the ecc queue entries out and back.
The date field of the input has a link. Click it to see the inbound ecc queue entry.
In the payload, you should see your ping traffic.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><results probe_time="5132"><result command="ping 8.8.8.8 -n 4"><stdout>

Hope that was more helpful than it was confusing,
