🚀 Bulk Ping Tool

Check the reachability of multiple hosts simultaneously.

ℹ️ About Bulk Ping Tool

The Bulk Ping Tool is a multi-threaded diagnostic utility designed for network administrators who need to verify the availability of several servers or devices at once. Instead of manually pinging each IP or hostname in a terminal, this tool allows you to paste a list and receive a consolidated status report in seconds.

By leveraging parallel processing, the tool sends ICMP Echo Request packets to each destination simultaneously. This is particularly useful for monitoring heartbeat status across a cluster, verifying connectivity after a network change, or identifying which systems in a specific range are currently online.

📖 How to use Bulk Ping Tool

  1. 1. Provide a comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames (e.g., <code>10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, example.com</code>).
  2. 2. Click 'Run Tool' to initiate the parallel ping requests.
  3. 3. Review the resulting table to see which hosts are 'Online' and which are 'Offline'.
  4. 4. Use this information to quickly identify network partitions or server outages.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a host show as 'Offline' even if it is running?

The host or a firewall in between may be configured to ignore ICMP (ping) requests for security reasons. This is common for many public websites and hardened servers.

Is there a limit to the number of hosts?

Yes, for web performance and to prevent abuse, this tool is limited to 20 hosts per request. For larger ranges, we recommend using local CLI tools like <code>fping</code>.

What timeout is used?

The tool waits up to 2 seconds for a response from each host before marking it as offline.
