Network Tools?

Posted in iPhone Apps at 3:12 pm by mc

Is there a good suite of network monitoring tools out for the iPhone?  I want to be able to punch in my websites and have them saved, then when I run the application it will just go through them all and check all the services I want to see if it is available.  Then as long as I keep it open it will keep polling on some interval I can set myself.

Along with that basic ping, nslookup and other network tools would be great.  I went looking for this in the App Store and I could find nothing close.  If someone wants to go to the next level, when Apple introduces the push service, set up a monitoring service that will push alerts to my phone.  I would pay a good monthly fee for this as long as I could monitor all my sites/servers.

If anyone has any recommendations let me know.  I will be more than happy to check out any apps tht might work and give them a review.

    I used WIFIfofum (or somthing like that) for my PPC and it worked great. I assume the iphone app does too, but I have not downloaded it yet.

    Try iPinger. It allow You to monitor reachability of multiple servers at once. It’s based in simple ping, i believe, but You could contact author, for implementing reachability of desired services on each server.
