ping program with time of day

[muisejt]

here's the problem, one of are frame circuits is kinda flaky and we can see it by pings, since people aren't reliable to keep track of times (and I'm not going to watch pings all day) it goes down we want to ping it all day to monitor it but we need to know the time of day when it goes down. anyone know of any programs out there?

How about using MRTG with a ping utility?

Or you could try smokeping with rrdtool.

The standard Windows ping allows you to put a timestamp on each ping by using the -s option. The timestamp must be manipulated to get anything meaningful out of it.

Another way is to put ping and time into a script file with the output going into a text file. You would need to code some kind of pacing mechanism in the script file though.

*edit* I highly recommend using MRTG for inexpensive system and network monitoring. MRTG will monitor anything defined in MIB or MIB II. Here are some realtime samples.

it was a slow day at work so I fired up Google and VB and made my own ping utility that outputs the needed data to a text file
