Possibly a .json file, allow users to edit ping hosts, and enable/disable services to be monitored and displayed

Take a look at the PySimpleGUI "User Settings" APIs

They make working with JSON files simple and easy. I use these calls extensively in the Demo Programs and my personal programs.

I like how you used the simplified threading API in your status-check project:

I think you'll like the User Settings interface.
