Free ping rhapsody irons software for linux

PingNode will ping a list of network devices at a specified interval. PingNode will then create a record in a MySQL database for each ping indicating that the node was there or not there.

It will also send an email if the node is found to be down. The index.php page contains a list of monitored hosts with current status.

A detail page contains historical data for a given host.

ToDo:

Seperate table for hosts
Query data by date range
Dynamic host add/delete/modify
Custom Reports
disk space monitor
Process/Service monitor

pingmon is a small PING monitor, it just pings a server 5 times and displays the results.

Dont really know how usefull it will be to anyone, but here it is!

Change the .theme file to change the labels and the servers... ill try to do some sort of "click to change" thing later.

Pinger is a network monitor tool with optional WWW interface (includes such features as sending SNMP traps to other host and others).

Compiling and Installing:

1. Become root and gunzip/tar sources

2. Create list of hosts to monitor to. I used standard file used by named server (modified as show bellow):

Sample:

... hosts file sample ...
;
; This is file of my hosts
;
;
;PINGER_START
; pingerd will look from here |
vilma A 192.168.3.1
theodor - thomas computer ;)
...
...
; remember, pinger use FIRST world of each line.
;SLEEP xx - sleep xx seconds
;PINGER_STOP
; pingerd will stop here
; All below will not be monitored
non-important.node
... end

anyway - look at template in etc/

3. ./configure ( --help )

4. Edit src/config.h and src/pingerd.h if you have ping path different from /bin/ping.

6. Type make ; make install

7. Insert /usr/sbin/pingerd to your rc.local file.

8. Type /usr/sbin/pingerd or reboot your computer.

9. Move src/*.cgi to your httpd cgi-bin directory

Run www browser and type http://your.host.name/cgi-bin/pinger.cgi

PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent RIP (Recovery Is Possible) distribution. PING can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated in a PXE / RIS environment.
Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is totally free.
Main features:
- Backup and Restore partitions or files to a MS Network Shared directory;
- Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
- Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE / RIS environment;
- Possibility to Blank local admins password;
- Create your own restoration bootable DVD (see the Howto Documentation);
- Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the right partition);
Specific advantages Linux brings you over DOS and Ghost :
- Most network cards automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
- Most CD/DVD readers automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
- You dont have to run a Ghostcast server to receive images over the network.
Whats New in 2.00 RC7 Development Release:
- NTFS filesystems were not being resized to the maximum size that the partition could contain, though logging reported such.
- An occasional hang on some systems when it came to mount NTFS partitions was fixed.
- For an unknown reason, using NTFS-3G drivers rather than native kernel drivers seems to resolve the issue.
- The kernel was updated to Linux 2.6.22.4.
- Some more network and S-ATA/SCSI drivers have been compiled.

qPingTool provides a simple tool to enable pinging of external feed agregators.

Plone Ping Tool (qPingTool) is a simple tool to enable pinging of external feed agregators. Currently qPingTool is used with Plone Blog.

Plone Ping Tool (qPingTool) is a simple tool to enable pinging of external feed agregators. This product has no analogues in Plone. You no longer have the need to go to external feed aggregators like Technorati and inform them that your site has new content. Plone PingTool will do it instead of you thus saving your time.

mrtg-ping-probe project monitors round trip time and packet loss to another host. Still on my TODO list: add own min/max/avg rtt calculation, add perl ping module, add rping and rsh support...
mrtg-ping-probe is a ping probe for MRTG 2.x. It is used to monitor the round trip time and packet loss to networked devices. MRTG uses its output to generate graphs visualizing minimum and maximum round trip times or packet loss.
mrtg-ping-probe depends on the following software being installed on your system: perl (at least version 5.6.1), mrtg (I use version 2.8.8, though any mrtg 2.x version should work), and a ping program that displays a summary of the round trip times upon termination or timeout.
mrtg-ping-probe runs on AIX, BSD/OS 2.1, FreeBSD/2.2.x, IRIX/6.2, Linux, Mac OS X (Darwin 5.4), NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2, OSF1 V3.2, Solaris 1.1.2 (SunOS 4.1.4), Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1), Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7), Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8), Solaris 9 (SunOS 5.9), HP-UX 9, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 (english, french, portugesee, and spanish locales).
If you install the Windows ping program that comes with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or WinSock 2.x, mrtg-ping-probe will also run on Windows 95 and Windows 4.0.
Support for additional systems is usually easy to add, as described in the file INSTALL.
Act responsible: do not use mrtg-ping-probe to ping devices without the owners permission. Just imagine 10,000 people would decide to ping your hosts ... mrtg-ping-probe is meant to be used within your network to get round trip time performance figures for your network.
Usage: mrtg-ping-probe [-hsvV] [-d deadtime] [-k count] [-l length] [-o ping_options] [-p [factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}/[factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}] [-r [rsh:][user@]host[:osname]] [-t timeout] host
Enhancements:
- new platforms supported: italian Windows 2000 locale.
- bugfixes: on Windows actually return deadtime when we lost all packets, not 0. the ping child process should actually be killed now on Unix platforms.
- changes: ***** Possible Incompatability ***** raised minimum required perl version to 5.6.1. lots of typos fixed.

pmping provides a parallel multiple host ping with audible results (beep on the PC speaker).
pmping is a script that pings multiple hosts in parallel and gives audible results depending on host state.
The sounds come from the internal PC speaker, thus not needing a sound card. It beeps when a host OS is losing many packets, or when it is down.
If the host is down, the script can send an email notification or run a command. All aspects are fully customisable by the user.
Main features:
- Logs notifications to standard output.
- Reloads config file on-the-fly.
- Ability to run a command when a host is down.
- Sends e-mail notifications when a host is down and when it comes up.
Enhancements:
- Corrected dynamic config reload (wasnt really working).
- Try to catch SMTP connection errors when sending notification e-mails.
- Changed the way we check network errors (regex was not working).
