Hello,

How can i replace standard multi ping sensor to high-precision sensor? I have this utility: http://www.cfos.de/en/ping/ping.htm

You can't replace it, however you can use our EXE/Script Advanced sensor and write a script that uses it. Note that you need to format the output accordingly:

EXE/Script <value>:<message>

EXE/Script Advanced

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<prtg>
<result>
  <channel>Channel 1</channel>
  <value>12ms</value>
  <unit>Channel 2</unit>
  <float>5</float>
  </result>
</prtg>

Probably won't be an easy task since the utility you posted seems not to be object based, hence you have to parse the output :( Barely worth the effort I'd say. Aren't you satisfied with PRTGs ping implementation?

I need a ping with at least 0.1 milliseconds precision

Well then, you'll have to parse the output of the tool then ;) Not sure why that's necessary, though...
