Ping Monitor
Ping Monitor is used for trouble shooting TCP/IP connected computers. The program allows the user to create a list of IP addresses then periodically ping each computer at a user specified time interval. If the host computer fails to reply to a ping request, the program can trigger different alert messages and alarms; including e-mail, run third-party programs, or communicate serially or over the network to a remote computer. Also, the program can perform a full traceroute and who is domain name search to assist in identifying which network node is causing the bottleneck. Additionally, the program displays a time and date stamp of the minimum, maximum, and average ping Round-Trip Times (RTT). The application calculates the standard deviation of the ping RTTs at specified time intervals. Also, the program provides real-time graphing of 4 host computers. The program runs as minimized system tray program. Our Review: The Ping Monitor program allows you to build a list of TCP/IP devices (computers, printers, etc) to verify their network connection. After issuing a ping request, the program waits for a reply then displays the Round-Trip Time (RTT) delay in milliseconds. In addition to monitoring your network connections, the Ping Monitor program can trigger alarms, send alert messages or run a 3rd party utility when a ping request fails and even lets the user give different devices different priority responses. Ping Monitor can also send its own status to other computers on the network. This is probably one of the most fully-featured ping programs available. The interface looks a little outdated but Ping Monitor makes up for it with its ability to save/print reports, display graphs, and trace the route to a host. All in all, a classic program.
