Hi,

I want to monitor a half dozen machines and have a screen with a green
dot for those that are up and a red dot for those that are down. For
this it's enough that they're responding to pings. Half the machines are
Linux half are not.

Any suggestions?

A good reasonably flexible system is smokeping. Debian packages
it. I use it to get ping and http/https request time for my
house machines and a few important outside machines.

If you have more significant future plans, it would be worth a
couple of hours to set up icinga2, a Nagios-compatible
monitoring system. It is also packaged by Debian.

(Nagios was the defacto open source standard, then the project
forked several ways as the main product went commercial.)

This looks good.

I managed to run the docker version.

However the minimum ping/heartbeat interval is 20 seconds. I'd like to
set it to 1 seconds.

I can't seem to change the setting. (I managed to run bash in the docker
as root, and install vim, and edit the EditMonitor page and change the
minimum from 20 to 1, but either that's the wrong file or I can't figure
out how to restart or rebuild the server).
