Add the ability to Save Settings

Just what it says....  Really need the option to save our settings, because I 
want to make the program auto-start with windows (which by the way can be 
another feature request, but low priority because we can do it ourselves).

I really need your program to do this because there is a known issue with 
latest generation Wireless cards and certain routers with the connection 
dropping, and with certain settings, a particular driver and your program 
pinging a site every second I'm able to stay connected.  Your program allows me 
to use the internet without dropping every couple of minutes. (3 new computers 
btw had this issue all different manufacturers and wireless cards)

BTW, I tried to find another program like yours, but none would work at least 
on Windows 8.1 (yours does), ping wouldn't go through or something.  Could be 
they are using different port or something's that's blocked.  Anyway, do you 
know of a simple Win8 compatible like yours that will save settings?

Thanks

What does it do?

What does 'connectivity' mean?

Is it a ping?

A HTTP connection?

How long is the connection?

Not much I can do with this tool if I don't know that.

Feature Request

When monitoring an unstable line for a longer period the log file becomes very 
long.  To identify all line "outages" becomes quite a task.

An "Outage" report that cuts down the Log file to a list of the "Outages" only 
(OFF time ON time only) would be a very nice feature.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.41 on XP Prof

Please provide any additional information below.

This is just a simple request to add the functionality of monitoring a network 
location instead of an http web address. It would be super handy to be able to 
monitor whether or not an ftp stayed available, or if there are intermittent 
issues with LAN connectivity.

Thank you!

My apologies for logging an issue via bug report, but it's my only portal I 
could find to the authors. 

Thank you for conceiving, making, and publishing this product. It was extremely 
helpful for providing object triage info to my ISP after a very frustrating 2 
months. 

Code on!

-Peter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
App has worked well in the recent past.  Don't know what factors may have 
changed, but last couple of days my dsl has definitely been down (via modem 
indicator and call to ATT), cannot manually ping any ip address or access any 
web site, yet the app shows mostly OK connection with only a now and then "not 
connected". 


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Redownloaded latest one (141), OS Win 8.0 Professional

Please provide any additional information below.
As said has been very dependable in past. Do not know why not now, again cannot 
manually ping but app shows good connection??  Thanks!

Feature request - to automatically start monitoring

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Close the program
2. Open the program
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Would be nice if we could add an argument to automatically start monitoring the 
internet connectivity. My computer rebooted itself a few days ago from 
Microsoft Patches (geez). I put a shortcut in the startup to get it to run 
again, but I have to manually click "Start Monitoring" to get it going.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 SP1, Monitor version 1.41

Please provide any additional information below.

ping time for each site.

Monitoring "hangs" on disconnect

Hi. Great little tool, on the surface at least it was just what I was looking 
for. But a few little niggles. 
#1 - When a disconnect occurs, the program seems to hang, and only pick up / 
report the problem after quite a delay - which prevents accurate 
timing/reporting of problems. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the monitor
2. Wait for a disconnect to occur
3. Observe discontinuity in monitoring

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect monitoring to continue on a regular, heartbeat basis, reporting 
disconnections when appropriate. Instead, the program appears to hang for some 
time before reporting the problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
V1.20.  Windows 7. Both Windows and Java up to date. 

Please provide any additional information below.
See attached screenshot.

Need detection of excessively slow connections down AND up, not just dead connections

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run as "usual".
2. Notice that log either doesn't show any problems or very low number of 
disconnections.
3. Also notice, that many times the internet connection is very slow to the 
point of being virtually DEAD.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It would be nice if ICM could go beyond checking to see a "connection" and 
instead check to see if there is a USEFUL connection. Over the past few days, 
I've checked my connection using speedtest.net. It will show 50Mb/sec DOWNLOAD, 
but UPLOAD is virtually zero or times out entirely, yet ICM just keeps humming 
along saying "OK" every 5 seconds. I have trouble getting any website to finish 
loading a webpage and my Windows RDT connection is not responding to input.  Is 
the kind of check I'm asking for even possible? It seems like it would be very 
helpful in sending supporting data to Comcast to help them isolate the problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ICM 1.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Program stops working after an hour or two

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Ran with logging on

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Stops on its own, as if I paused it, but does not start again

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.41

Please provide any additional information below.
I am having some occassional duplicate IP issues on my home network.  Not sure 
if this is what causes it to stop.

Program stops working via remote session

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. I am connected to the remote computer via TeamViewer
2. If I disconnect from the session for a short period of time (~5 mins) and 
re-connect, the program is still running.
3. If I disconnect for a longer period of time (> 10 mins), the program is no 
longer running when I connect, but the log file reports a DateModified equal to 
the date/time as my login. aka the program had just shut down when I 
re-connected.
4. If I remotely connect and run the program and do not disconnect, the 
programs continues to run as expected.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I would expect that the program would continue to run unattended

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ICM version 1.41 running on Windows XP on the remote computer. Connecting from 
a computer running Windows 8.1. TeamViewer version is the latest 10.0.40798 on 
both machines.

Please provide any additional information below.
Seems as though a user session is at play - and I have just started using this 
today. I will add more info as it develops.

Uptime percentage

It would be nice to have an uptime percentage of all the pings that have been 
done.

Hide OK status

This monitor is to notify you when there is a problem. I would say that you 
inform the user that the system is polling but default (setting with checkbox) 
the OK messages are hidden.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 28 Dec 2013 at 9:00

Feature request

Rather than clutter up the log with the results of the checking every five 
minutes, it would be nice to have an option to just log when the status 
changes.  For instance:

Sun Feb 09 01:01:01    <site URL>    OK
OK until:
Sun Feb 09 02:13:42    <site URL>    NOT CONNECTED
NOT CONNECTED until:
Sun Feb 09 02:22:15    <site URL>    OK
OK until:

etc.  This would still give the user everything he needs, and would make for a 
much more compact and usable log file.  Thanks for a great little program.
