Ping Monitor suggestion: Profiles and notifications

Ping Monitor suggestion: Profiles and notifications   28 March 2026, 01:23

First of all, very nice tool. It would be nice to have these features:
1. Creation and selection of profiles: once we have a selection of IP address we would like to save them in a profile so that we can easily switch between them.
2. More notification possibilities, like a notification to an email address or syslog.

Thanks for the compliments!

Just to clarify, with profiles — are you looking for:
  1. Saving and loading entirely separate host lists, e.g. you monitor different sets of hosts at different times? Or...
  2. Grouping hosts within a single session so you can filter the view, e.g. all hosts are always monitored but you show/hide groups like "Servers", "Switches", "VPN"?
We already support the (a) via File > Export/Import Configuration: you can save your current setup to a .db file and load it back anytime. We could make this quicker with a recent configurations list. The (b) would be a different feature involving host groups or tags.

Regarding extended notifications (email, syslog, etc) — noted for the future, thank you!
