      For my own network, I use Monitorix, however it only stores the localhost data. You can have it look at remote servers, but it won’t store that data. So you can look for other network tools that monitor all of your network devices. A lot of them do store the data that you can then get out of the database.

      The easiest really is to write a simple python script that runs a scan on a set interval and dump the data in a file. Then have MM read that file.

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        Having the PI only display, but not query, makes architectural sense. And you are correct, there are other options for running programs that can dump results to be displayed. [I can actually think of a boatload of watchdog programs that I’d love to display in a command-like center off a little Pi sitting on my desk!]

        Do you have something for MM2 to display such results (either txt or xml files) that you particularly like? I looked at
        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/268/mmm-httprequestdisplay
        but I am running into problems, and the Dev seems to be out of country.

        I don’t know JS & simply don’t have the time to learn it - but I can recognize that the PI MM2 is great for a command center. I could dump the result files onto a local dir from anywhere, and the PI would not have to struggle with domain authentication (I understand that is a problem).

        Thanks for yanking the discussion back to where it should be.

          Personally, I use Monitorix on my network. It dumps data into RRD files. While I haven’t implemented a display on my mirror (because I have a different display elsewhere for that), one could use rrdtools to fetch the data and display it.

            Looks interesting. I guess I’ll have to ask someone how to use THAT for MM2. Let me look if I can use it at my work for other stuff: I spend my days monitoring & then having others fix things :)

              Monitorix can be installed on an rpi, and it even has an rpi module already built-in for monitoring temperature.

                @amanzimdwini is this what you asked for in first place?

                [card:fewieden/MMM-ping]

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                  Let me have a look. On first inspection, it looks perfect. I’ll let you know

                    @strawberry-3.141
                    Pls update your Readme to REPLACE module: 'MMM-ip" with ‘MMM-ping’ :)
                    Could not get the options

                                            colored: true,
                                            display: 'offline',
                    

                    0_1469660559867_MMMPingConfig.JPG
                    to work - display is still both and white only:
                    0_1469660603547_MMMPingResult.JPG
                    (how is the display order sorted?)

                    I also want to change the font size down - custom.css for me…
                    Thanks, though!

                      @amanzimdwini

                      config has to look like this

                      {
                          module: 'MMM-ping',
                          position: 'bottom_left',
                          config: {
                              hosts: ['www.github.com', '192.168.1.888'],
                              colored: true,
                              display: 'offline'
                          }
                      }
                      

                      the config options neet to be part of the config section
