**Some of the features listed in this topic are only available in PingPlotter Pro and/or PingPlotter Standard. If you grab the tab and drag it away from PingPlotter, you can position it somewhere within the PingPlotter widow - or drag it out into its own “stand-alone” display. Once you open a target (or summary) into a tab, that target is living in its own “dock” control. ![]() There is definitely a way to achieve this! Or maybe you have 8 monitors and want 64 targets up filling your high def “war room screen” (and if this is the case… we salute you). Maybe you want a few targets side by side. This works, but may not be exactly what you’re after. Note: the information in this section is specific to the Windows version of the programīy default, each target in PingPlotter Pro is shown in the “All targets” summary screen (and doesn’t have it’s own tab unless you open one for it). There are also a few options (pause, resume) available via the right click menu. Once you’ve got multiple targets selected, any changes made in the target bar will be automatically applied to the selected targets. If the targets you’re needing to select are in order, you can click one, hold down the shift key, and click on the last one in the list to get the whole group. Hold down either the “CTRL” (for Windows) or the Command (for Mac) key on your keyboard, and click on a few different targets. You can select multiple targets and apply changes to them (pause, change the trace interval, use a different configuration, or add them to a summary screen). Any invalid targets will prompt an error - which will prompt *after* PingPlotter gets through your entire list. Voila! PingPlotter will start to load your list of targets, one at a time - exactly as though each target was entered into the “New Target” field. Once you’ve got your list saved, in PingPlotter go to "File” -> "Load Target List File," navigate to your list file and open it - and PingPlotter will load up the targets from the list. Once you’ve got everything added in, save the file with a “*.lst” extension. IPv6 targets on a system that isnt capable of IPv6 (probably Windows XP). In a text editor (notepad works just fine here) create a list of your addresses - one target per line. More appropriate message when ipv6/ipv6 addresses are specified but not in. You’ll want to make sure your list is formatted correctly to accomplish this. If you’ve got a list of IP addresses, DNS names, or both, you can “bulk add” them into PingPlotter Pro as well. A tab *won’t* be opened if you’re using this method - but it’s a good way to quickly add targets and start tracing to them. Targets added via this method will automatically start tracing and are added to your list of all targets (and if you’re on a custom summary screen, they’ll be added to that summary as well - we cover this in more detail in the summary graphs section). If you’re on a summary screen in PingPlotter, you can quickly add targets by entering them in the “Target name” field, and pressing the start button (or the enter key on your keyboard). ![]() Wondering how to get another “(new trace)” window open? You can use the "File" -> "New Target" option, or, in the Windows version of PingPlotter Pro, just click on the “+” symbol in the upper left hand corner of the program. If you’ve just opened up the program for the first time, odds are you’re on a “(new trace)” tab - and the “Target Name” field is empty (with a blinking cursor in it):Īll you need to do is (if you haven’t guessed it by now) enter your target’s DNS name or IP address in the empty field, and hit the big green “Start” button on the left hand side (the “enter” key on your keyboard works here as well). There are a few ways to add new targets to PingPlotter. There’s no “hard limit” on the amount of targets you can add in PingPlotter Pro - but we’ve successfully tested up to 250 here at Pingman HQ. PingPlotter Pro can be used to trace to multiple different targets within the same instance (and each target’s configuration can be independently managed, too!). This option can be defined more than once as a comma separated string, and the order which the colors are provided will be matched against the hosts or commands passed to gping.PingPlotter Standard can trace up to 2 targets simultaneously in the same instance. Horizontal margin around the graph (left and right) Īssign color to a graph entry. Vertical margin around the graph (top and bottom) Default for ping is 0.2, default for cmd is 0.5.ĭetermines the number of seconds to display in the graph. ![]() ![]() Watch interval seconds (provide partial seconds like '0.5 '). Graph the execution time for a list of commands rather than pinging hosts Can use cloud shorthands like aws:eu-west-1. Hosts or IPs to ping, or commands to run if -cmd is provided.
