LOCAL ADDRESS PING FAIL NOTIFICATION
-
I'm wondering if pfSense can do this or not–I'm new to it and FreeBSD.
I'm wanting to run periodic pings to local network addresses, and if a ping fails receive an email notification. Also looking to find a way for the logs to be emailed to me as a whole on a daily basis for review. Is pfSense capable of this as a native functions, is there a package that can do this, do I need to create a custom command set, and if so, any thoughts on how?
Thanks for any information.

To be honest I would go with something like smokeping if you want to monitor anything via ping and get notifications. As to email logs? I would have the logs sent to syslog as a better solution than a email that goes out every day, etc.

Thanks for the reply–I'll look into smokeping. Not familiar with that at all.
As far as the email notifications, I was looking for convenience sake. This is a site that I'm off location for, and I would prefer to just have it email me if pings go down and sort of a daily report for the logs, rather than having to check it myself.
