We covered the finest open source system monitoring tools in a separate article. The focus here is not to identify software that provides general system monitoring solutions. Home users with a small network or even just a single computer will benefit from the software featured in this article. This type of software is not only useful for network administrators. Network monitoring tools can help to identify issues before they escalate to emergency status.

Monitoring processes is not, in itself, sufficient to ensure a smoothly running system. While top (and other alternatives) are useful tools to monitor the running processes on a system, functionality does not extend to network activity. It is is a small open source utility that offers a dynamic real-time view of a running system, allowing users to monitor the processes that are running on a system, and to identify which applications are consuming more resources than they should. With good reason, top is a tool that many users frequently turn to. The bookmarks section should have a copy/clone option, out for when you need to enter several IP address is that are similar (for example at a single location with many devices on the same subnet).Out of the myriad of utilities that are available for Linux, top is a troubleshooting tool that often comes up in conversation. Or a Second better option would be an easy button next to the main entry line that is “add to favorites”, this way you only have to enter/type a DNS or IP address ones.

(not awkwardly having to open bookmarks and retype your entries to add bookmarks). 5 ( or less) for the Ping frequency (interval) with your finger, this is because the developer awkwardly chose to use the sliding bar UI element vs better UI options (or keeping the bar but allowing users to tap the number and manually input what interval they want).Ģnd there should be a history of any DNS or IP address you ping/enter into the ping field.

Both of these are very easy for the developer to fix.

Ok/decent ping app, however there are very clear and obvious issues that majorly affect the functionality. Nice app- major issues easy for dev to fix
