I just finished installing Pingnoo on Ubuntu 20.04.3 desktop which is a VM on our school's VMware 6.5 cluster. The installation ran perfectly using the built-in package installer for Ubuntu.

Are there plans to allow the pinging of multiple hosts, with graphics? The multiple host screen would graph the overall latency for each host. If one host was worthy of attention, then the user could drill down to see the specific details.

My purpose in using a historical, graphing ping utility is to be able to answer questions posed to me like: "What was wrong with the network yesterday?", or "What is going on with the network?"

It was a pleasure to install Pingnoo and use it for pinging one host. Thank you for making it available to all of us.

Hi, many thanks for this, much appreciated!

You can ping multiple hosts, unless I’m not understanding?  Just type in another host name on the ribbon bar and hit the button, a second tab will appear with the other host.

Be aware, that the currently library used for graphing is a memory hog unfortunately.  It is on a list of things to do, as you might have seen it’s been a while since I last committed changes, I have some health problems and I just haven’t been able to get around to working on this again for the moment.

But, it’s definitely not a dead project, and it’s very useable as it stands now, so when I start pushing commits again they will be on the most important things that I think working on.

If I’ve misunderstood your question, please let me know!

I’ve been thinking about this, and I think you are after a “overview” or “dashboard” where you can see the final hop status for currently running pings?

this would probably work well with “workspaces” which you could have a pre-defined set of ping a you could open in a single shot?

@gregbinsd I've though about this, I think this could be quite useful.

My current thought is to add an "Overview" ribbon group, this would include a "Status Good/Average/Bad" for a quick visual check of the overall state.

A drop down button could show the list of targets that are in the overview, each one showing a small summary graph with a visual colour indicating the health.

Obviously an "Add To Overview" would add the current trace to the overview, and "Remove from overview" would remove the current trace from the overview.

Additionally, this has some amount of overlap with "Workspaces" which would be a set of traces that could be loaded and saved in a single go, so load your favourites workspace and off Pingnoo goes figuring and reporting on everything.
