Server Ping Pro
I've decided to release version 1.5 of Server Ping as a paid-for gadget as there is quite a lot of interest for a version that can support more than 5 servers. Below is a table of the features showing the difference between the two versions and a PayPal button. Once you click the PayPal button this will take you to a payment page, once you complete payment I'll email you the link to download the gadget.
The main difference between the two is the Pro version supports up to 50 servers and is scaleable and auto-resizes.
EDIT: Server ping pro now supports different thresholds for Green and Orange LEDs showing how long the server takes to respond to pings

THANKS!!!!!!!!! This is just what ive been wanting for ages! Works just right!
Hi,
This is a very useful gadget. Does the pro version have alerts of some kind?
Thanks,
Christo.
Hey,
Yes, the pro version has a customizable audio alert so an alarm will sound if a server goes down. I need to put that on the feature list really.
Law
Can pro version email out warnings of down'd servers? Or be made to if not?
Thanks
Hey,
I've had this asked a few times now, gadgets really aren't meant for stuff like that, and such there's no easy way to do it. If you want email alerts you're probably better off with a more dedicated piece of software, the gadget is meant to be more "at-a-glance".

I use server ping for a while now and i really like it. Great tool. Now i am a hobbyist and i run some virtual machines at home and i can use the pro version but is it really neccesary to pay 15 pounds for personal use?
How about pop up window alerts with a timestamp or something so people can see when a server goes down and maybe how long or if there's a pattern. I'd pay for it if that feature was added.
Law,
Thanks for developing this gadget, one thing that I have noticed is that the Pro version seems to falsely report red more often then the free version for some reason, having a full 20 hosts being monitored, or just 3 will alert too many times seemingly, and the audio becomes a bother. Other then that - it's an excellent tool/gadget, thanks again!
Hey,
In the settings you can set the thresholds so that the servers are less likely to appear down if they are just slow to respond. You can also turn off the sound in the settings if it annoys you.
I hope this helps, Law
Looks a good product, but a bit pricey to simply monitor pings on servers.
I'd pay the money if you could customise for ports (i.e. 80, 25, 443 etc) so you could tell if your service was iffy.
More often than not, a server will happily return pings, yet the service might have fallen over - with this app, you'd never know.
I'll keep an eye out in case you impliment this as it would be a handy thing to have!

Yes you can monitor individual server services.
eg.
ftp.server.com
mail.server.com
cpanel.server.com
whm.server.com
server.com
cheers. i would love pro to be available for personel use free....
The post before has comments about monitor email etc. can this be done? eg. monitor the responsivness of an email address? or just the email function.
Thanks,
Hi Law, Fantastic little Gadget, I too need it for home use, can you make £10 for personal use, I'll buy it immediatley.
Hey,
If I made it free/£10 for personal use, what would stop everyone clicking the personal use button?
Law
I got your Server Ping (way back when I had vista....) I installed Win 7 (64) and Installed your Ping (old version) and I have 3 monitors.....
when I install it, it places itself on the RIGHT hand side of Monitor 1.... I cant drag it anywhere ;(.....
I got your newest version..... Installed it, same thing.... Any suggestion's ? Id really like to get the Pro version... Bit If I cant move it ;(... Thanks in advance :)
I'm a bit like some of the others here, I feel that £15 is way too expensive for this gadget, nice though it is..., £5 would be more reasonable...
You can do the same with Yahoo Widgets for free..
Look at how Bill Gates made his fortune.., don't sell 100 for £15, when you could sell 100000 for £5..
I'm still thinking about it, but £15..., bit too much..
Transam98, could you please email me? I thought I had this issue fixed in both latest versions.

Nice gadget but a bit price for a pro version....two things would consider a buy (1) USA dollars (2)a bit cheaper ;) Lots of good here but not needed this bad
cool gadget, and luckily for me I don't know the exchange rate! So, I can't tell you if it is too expensive or not.
Like the widget, what would make it A+ for me would be the ability to run a program or command line option by clicking on the server name.
For the Pro version maybe? Although yeah 15 quid seems a bit steep.
Just a thought.
Hi, I just installed the newest version of this gadget, and I am getting the following error when saving the options:
Line: 155
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
you have a nice post. thanks for sharing this enormous resources. keep it up.
Hi,
I also get the
Line: 155
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Error message
Any ideas?
Just bought the pro versions which is a great 'heads up' quick view of our network status. What would be nice is like the ping, tracert etc, a key+click would open a remote desktop to the device (it's just a command so no different from the way the ping and tracert work...)

I have paid for your server ping pro Randy Grammar is the name computer crashed lost file can i get back or have to buy again. randy.grammar@northerntool.com
i got on cc card
Brilliant. Thank you!

crtl+Shift = telnet
its very important;
Law,
Recently purchased Server Ping Pro. The one thing missing in this vs. the "free" version is the timeout. PLEASE put this in the Pro version! The Pro version drove me crazy because the timeout is set too short and my links constantly go offline falsely. No way to leave the sound alert turned on! Other than that, it works great.
Thanks!
It is nice gadget.It helps me alot.
Law, can you make it to where you get an alert when a machine comes online? I use this gaget to let me know when certain hosts come back on our network. Maybe make it customizable where you can turn on/off the audio for online or offline alerting. Thanks, it's been a very useful tool. Add that feature and I'll definitely buy the Pro version.
Ola, em quantos computador posso instalar server ping/pro,Grato
Thanks a lot Law ! It works like a charm !
Do you plan to extend this gadget to also show what are the currently logged users on the remote machines ? You can use this method while using a (defined) elevated login : " for /f %%a in (IP.txt) do WMIC /NODE:%%a computersystem GET name, username " with ip.txt as a IP text list ;o)
If not, do you know a gadget which does do that ?
Hi Law,
This is a great piece of tool.
Is there an option to extend its support up to 500 devices?
Cheers,
Anon
This a great peace of tool..
