## Installation
### Download Pre-built Executable
Pre-built executable for Windows is available on the Release page.

3. Run `PingMonitor.exe`.
💡 Note:
If Windows Defender or other antivirus software flags the executable, please refer to the VirusTotal Scan Result for more information.
### VirusTotal Scan Result
To ensure the safety of the application, I performed a scan using VirusTotal. Below is the scan result:
- Detections: 1/68
- Scan Details: [View the VirusTotal scan result](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/32a6d72ba9e0127b9716fbd0a3f16fd3b2943f0a7c84ae54d504d6e5823a3c16)
💡 Additional Information:
The detection by one engine out of 68 may be a false positive. If you have any concerns, feel free to inspect the scan details via the link above.
## Configuration
### `hosts.txt`
Add the hostnames or IP addresses you want to monitor to the `hosts.txt` file. You can organize hosts into groups by using square brackets to define group names. Each line within a group should contain one hostname or IP address.
Example:
```text
[Public Servers]
google.com
8.8.8.8
1.1.1.1
[Private Servers]
192.168.10.1
192.168.10.10
192.168.10.11
```
### Application Settings
The application reads customizable settings from `PingMonitor.dll.config`. These settings include:
- `IntervalMs`: Ping interval in milliseconds (default: 5000).
- `RetryCount`: Number of retries for a failed ping (default: 3).
- `PingTimeoutMs`: Ping timeout in milliseconds (default: 500).
- `FontFamily`: Specifies the font family used for displaying host names and status labels in the application's user interface.
