Ping903 is designed to periodically monitor a very large number of remote hosts using ICMP ECHO packets. The system is built using the client-server architecture. The main component (ping903) is a daemon that sits in memory and wakes up periodically to send certain number of ICMP echo packets to a preconfigured number of hosts and to collect replies. The round-trip statistics it collects is made available via REST API.

A simple command line client utility (ping903q) allows the user to communicate with the daemon, obtaining the needed information about each host in particular, or all monitored hosts at once. This utility can operate in several modes. In particular, it can be used as Nagios external check tool, instead of the standard check_ping tool.
