For course work, you need to write a program that will show the current state of the server. That is, we add a server in the application, specifying its IP and port, and the program will poll it. The topic came up randomly. Please tell me where to start.

choose one of the available server monitoring systems zabbix cacti nagios icinga and others.
it would be better to take a well-known and free one - there will be a community and prospects for the further development of the project after the university.
study the api and write a client to display.
as an option, look for existing suitable projects and complete / improve and what is there.

Depending on what state
I have, for example, 20 servers, I created a service that knocks on my site with the name of the server, the site fixes, if there are no knocks from any server, the site writes a message to me through the bot in the cart.

what is the name of the item?
School level?
since at least a program can run a banal
ping in the foreground service and understand that now there is no Wi-Fi / mobile network signal or the server
really does not ping.
To a really conditionally useful tool, but since the source codes are submitted to the university, it is not commercially applicable.
