sysmon sends a ping to it's clients and checks if they respond, then prints the results to the attached monitor.
that's it, it just checks if a system is responding over rednet or not.
sysmon requires the minux OS to be installed, the clients do not need any software.
You can add as many clients as you wish, the only limit is the size of your monitor.

Client response:
to make a system respond, have it listen on rednet for the string "ping", when it gets this, respond ANY message to the sender/sysmon system, when it received a reply (any reply) from it's client then it considers it online. no response is offline. the client doesn't need any other software, it just needs to respond when it receives "ping".

Configuration:
The monitor's size depends on the number of clients (height) and the length of the name (width).
It comes with a command line tool (/bin/smconfig.sh) or a menu-based configuration tool (/gbin/smconfig.exe) to configure the settings and clients.

Installation:
quick - copy and run these commands on a clean Computer
wget run https://minux.cc/netinstall - installs OS/libraries used. select "minimal" version.
apt install sysmon - installs sysmon package
