skipole-monitor

skipole-monitor is a network monitor that will allow the user to input host IP addresses, pinging them every five minutes and displays their status via a built-in web server, on port 8000.

skipole-monitor can optionally send email alerts and syslog messages if the hosts change status. So calling http://your_pc_address:8000 will display pages showing green, yellow or red host or group symbols.

Each host is pinged four times every five minutes, and symbols are displayed as: ￭ green : if three or four pings are successfull ￭ yellow : if only one or two are successfull ￭ red : if all four fail

As well as hosts, group symbols are displayed, and can be opened to show hosts, or sub-groups nested within. The operator can create groups, and sub-groups via the gui.
