Cheap and dirty, but might do the trick.
Usage is:
PingResponse IP AcceptableTime
For example, PingResponse google.com 10 would repeatedly ping google and if it
was ever over 10 milliseconds, blat will email you. Note that there's only 5
lines so watch wrapping. Also, this will not message you when ping returns a
request time out so if 5 seconds is too short, you modify the ping command in
line 2 with -w to change the timeout.
-------PingResponse.bat-------
:top
for /f "delims=m=; tokens=5" %%i in ('ping %1 -n 1^|find "Reply"') do set /A
PingResponse=%%i
if %PingResponse% LSS %2 goto top
blat - -body "Ping response was %PingResponse% milliseconds." -server
mailserver.com -f [email protected] -subject "Ping was too long" -to [email protected]
goto top
-------PingResponse.bat-------

Thanks, but it doesn't look like Servers Alive will do what I need.
Essentially, I need a continuous ping:

Reply from 10.10.10.10<http://10.10.10.10>: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=245
and send an alert to one or more configurable email addresses if time >= x ms
for more than y pings, where x and y would be configurable by me.
