Is there a possibility to create a ping function that supports a subnet or group of addresses that could be run continuously during a maintenance window so devices can be shown responding prior to and checked following say a router or switch replacement to check the end host status.  Maybe an ARP cache as the source list?  This would be used for a before and after validation check. This would be helpful when performing lifecycle work and it would part of the runbook results that could be used in the map.

Hi ​@gxsd,

you can put all of the maintenance devices in a Dynamic Device Group and let the Overall Health View run over it. Then you can watch live the devices turn red and green again.
Or you can define a selection of tests in a runbook and let them run before and after maintenance.

Unfortunately, I do not see the option for ping can you provide more detail?  I am interested in all connected devices not just the network devices.
