What is the best program for pinging a set of IP addresses (on a local network) with a statistics collection function?

Question

Ping

There was a task to install a program on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standart, which will ping the entire local network in the background in order to "fall off" computers. It is necessary that the program be able to keep logs, which will show on what day and time which of the computers stopped responding to ping. All other computers are represented by Windows XP and later, although I do not think that this is important for this issue, I am writing just in case. Ping requires approximately 70 pcs. computers located in the local network and connected both directly to the server hub and through intermediate hubs.

Answer 4

I had a similar need. In general, this is done by MRTG, as I understand it, something like a standard in networks and server systems.
There is PRTG for Windows, very functional, has more than 200 sensors for tracking. Russian interface and free version limited to 100 sensors.
