vmPing (Visual Multi Ping) is a graphical ping utility for monitoring multiple hosts. Numerous host monitors can be added and removed, and each monitor dynamically resizes with the application window. Color-coding allows you to tell at a glance the status of each host. In addition to standard ICMP pings, you can also perform a TCP 'port ping', where the application continuously connects to a specified port and displays whether or not the port is open. A fast trace route utility and a basic packet generator / stress tester is also included.
- There is no installer. Just run the .exe.
- .NET 4.0 or greater is required.
- Quickly and easily ping multiple hosts.
- Color coding allows you to instantly determine the status of each host. Green means up. Red means down. Orange means error.
- Each host monitor dynamically resizes with the application's window. Take up your whole screen or reduce everything to a tiny window.
- Probe options to configure the interval between each ping request (anything from 1 second to several hours) and how many seconds until it is considered timed out.
- Monitor TCP ports. vmPing can continously connect to a given TCP port and will display whether the port is open or closed. Enter HOSTNAME:PORT for the hostname. For example, WebserverA:80
- Option to log everything to a text file.
- Option to send email alerts. Each time a host goes up or down, you will receive an email.
- FAST built-in trace route utility.
- A simple built-in packet generator / stress tester for flooding a specific host.
- Command line usage:
- vmPing [-i interval] [-w timeout] [
<target host>
...]
- vmPing [-i interval] [-w timeout] [
