Just wanted to share this with you guys. It's a simple utility I wrote for network monitoring. Basically you give it a list of Hosts in a text file and it pings them all and returns it's results. Nothing fancy, but I find it useful.
How well would something like this work for 70+ devices? I know I should use SNMP instead, but I am just curious.
Ohh and where is the DL link?
It should work fine for any number of devices, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. I use it to quickly check 30 or so devices over a WAN and it seems to work perfectly.
Didn't realise the download link doesn't show if you aren't registered, here's a direct link:
Works good, I am curious if or how you could possibly do this in a web application, say for example to monitor a bunch of servers online.
For example in my case 70 or so servers, if the ping doesn't come back an image for that site turns to a red light on a web page displaying all the sites we have.

Should be quite easy to do using Asp.net, but I've never sat down and worked out how to use Asp.net and (I don't think) php has a built in ping function unfortunately.
So... yes it's doable, even fairly straightforward, but the amount of time I'd have to put into it would be more than the 30 minutes or so this took to make, and I have other things on my plate at the moment

Remember to create your pinghosts.txt as detailed here or it'll just crash.
