ping monitor

marl

Hi,

Is there any opensource monitoring tool that i can use to monitor on my network, ex ping an IP then if it RTO it will send an email? Just like some monitoring tools around but will be using it on my network only, no internet access.

Thanks in advance.

I'm personally using Nagios along with Centreon for ease of administration

If it's only for pinging, try Smokeping

LiteServer

To name a few ones:
Nagios / Observium / Smokeping

i.e. "monit" can do it. It is much simpler tool than nagios & co., but can do some basic checking of local/remote hosts, including ping-test:

+1 for SmokePing

+1 for SmokePing, too.

Comes right after Network WeatherMap in my personal list of most useful network status visualization tools. Keep it smart and simple.

For monitoring, graphing and alarming you may also have a look at Munin for generating RRDs.

Nagios / Icinga is also very common and efficient but only supports "red/green" monitoring out of the box, i.e. it won't record and graph the exakt RTT over time for later analysis. Of course you could define a warning if RTT goes above a certain level.
