Is there a Linux utility for monitoring hosts with GUI? [closed]

I need a program for Linux desktop to monitor hosts with GUI. Like PingInfoView for Windows. Or 10-Strike Network Monitor.

What would you recommend?

One of the best tools for network exploration (and security auditing) is nmap. This is a command line tool. People using this tool (without a GUI) are usually either hackers or network security experts.

For a list of GUIs based on nmap, see this answer.

Your question does not really involve discovery so I don't know that nmap is what you are looking for.

If you just need to ping I suggest something like NMIS, it's an open source solution that uses fping. It can also monitor servers/devices using SNMP (and the newest version also does WMI).

Smokeping may also solve your problem, it really depends on what you mean by GUI.

NMap does not have an GUI. You can check pandora fms. You can get the open version or the enterprise. I Know both of them and for monitoring some linux hosts open version is more than enough.

Hope it helps.

I like jNetMap. It has a full GUI. It's in the repositories. The project's home page is at .

You might also look at zenmap. It's a GUI frontend for the powerful nmap.
