PingNode will ping a list of network devices at a specified interval. PingNode will then create a record in a MySQL database for each ping indicating that the node was there or not there.

It will also send an email if the node is found to be down. The index.php page contains a list of monitored hosts with current status.

A detail page contains historical data for a given host.
