ipPulse

ipPulse is an application designed to assist network administrators in monitoring the connectivity as well as the operational status of the devices that are connected and features an IPv4 address.

The setup is quick, uneventful and does not require any special attention from your part. Upon launch, you come face to face with a structured and user-friendly GUI that is unlikely to give you any troubles. The interface is designed as a table where you can include all the IP addresses that you want to keep an eye on.

Depending on the parameters that you need to monitor, the tool allows you to enable additional query details that can help you determine or foresee potential problems. Among the details you can display within the main window, you can count HostName, PASS Count, Primary and Secondary TCP port, Ping Max Time or Status Code, just to name a few.

It is worth mentioning that the IPv4 addresses can be examined using primary and secondary tests that you can configure from the Settings window. The Primary test pings the target to obtain replies or to check whether it is connected to the designated TCP port.

The Secondary Test is slightly more complex and features four modes, namely disabled, TCP port Connected / Disconnected, SNMP interface status using interfaces and the web server page test. Thanks to these modes, you can easily establish if the connection is accepted, the network interface is down or connected to a web server. At the same time, it allows you to check the web status code for hidden or visible strings that can provide you with more information.

In the eventuality that you are monitoring a small or large LAN and would like to know the connectivity of the devices connected so that you can remedy any issue right away, then perhaps ipPulse could lend you a hand.
