The script will perform its checks on the predefined hosts and output the results, including any detected spikes, to plwatch.txt in the same directory.

Configuration

You can configure the script by editing the HOSTS and COUNT variables at the beginning of the script:

• HOSTS - Add the IP addresses or hostnames of the servers you wish to monitor, separated by space.
• COUNT - Adjust the number of ping requests to send to each host.
