ipPulse™ — a network connectivity and device status monitoring tool for testing IPv4 connected devices. ipPulse periodically checks (polls) your list of devices to assess the whether the devices are reachable or respond to a connection attempt — it can retrieve a web page, check the web server status code and test for missing text in the retrieved web page. ipPulse alerts you to failures and it can send email alert messages to your phone.

Features

Supports a large list of target hosts entered as either hostnames or IP addresses. The list can be imported from a text file.
Polls the list on a cyclical basis with full control over the list cycle timing parameters.
Supports a primary and secondary test.
Supports standard Ping (ICMP Echo Requests/Replies). Primary test only.
TCP Port numbers for TCP connect tests are assignable on a per-node basis. Primary or secondary test.
Optional Web Server Page Test (secondary test) that can retrieve a web page (plain text http or secure https), check the web server status codes and optionally check for a presence of a specific string either in the visible or hidden page text. Web server status codes or absense of string can trigger an error message.
Optionally uses SNMP v1/v2c as a secondary test by requesting MIB2 ifOperStatus for every interface found on the target node. Community names are assignable on a per-target basis.
Optional SNMP queries can be made for obtaining more extensive data from the target host. ipPulse includes a number of OID presets and 12 user defined OIDs. Example: you can obtain MAC addresses for every interface from an SNMP enabled host.
Multiple alerts and logging. Alert options include beeping your computer, playing a wave file, notifying someone by email, or sending an email to a cell phone. Logging options include logging all test results to a text file, logging only errors to a text file, or logging errors to a dynamically created HTML page. Any combination of logging options can be used. Alerts are issued upon failures using user-defined criteria. Changes from a FAIL state to a PASS state can generate email messages.
Email notification via the SMTP protocol with the server of your choice. It supports standard SMTP messaging (no authentication), SMTP AUTH Login and STARTTLS (TLS) messaging.
Remote Control allows you to view log files and start, pause or stop a scanning cycle. Remote Control is password protected and can be accessed on user defined TCP port. It is disabled by default.
