Nagios vs PingPlotter Comments
techkyleNagios would be better if you need a service that monitors multiple devices. PingPlotter can handle multiple device monitoring, and there is some slight overlap, but is more for single-target temporary monitoring and is far less suited to long-term monitoring.
