I'm trying to create a batch file where it would detect ping anomalies. I want it to ping to an IP infinitely (-t) until I close it where it would write down whenever ms > 100 ms and the time stamp as well. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of sub string variables but I don't know how to wrap my head around it.

:Loop
time /t >> textfile.txt
ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 | findstr /c:"Minimum" >> textfile.txt
timeout /t 5
Goto Loop
Or perhaps this suits your needs
ping /t > textfile.txt
or
:loop
wmic /append:"textfile.txt" path win32_pingstatus where "address='127.0.0.1' and responsetime > 100" get responsetime,timestamprecord
goto loop
0
I've been looking for an answer to this same question for while. bgalea's answer gave me the pieces I needed to write my own. Here's what I came up with:
:: usage: badpings.bat [ip adress | hostname] [ping time threshhold]
@echo off
if "%1"=="" (
set pingdest=yahoo.com
) else (
set pingdest=%1
)
if "%2"=="" (
set /a limit=100
) else (
set /a limit=%2
)
echo Pinging %pingdest%.
echo Logging replies over %limit%ms.
echo Press Ctrl+C to end.
:Loop
for /f "usebackq tokens=1-6" %%a in (`ping -n 1 %pingdest% ^| findstr "Request Reply request"`) do (
set var=%%a %%b %%c %%d %%e %%f
set pingtimestr=%%e
)
if "%pingtimestr%"=="find" (
echo Ping request could not find host %pingdest%. Please check the name and try again.
goto End
)
if "%pingtimestr%"=="host" (
set /a pingtime=%limit%+1
)
if "%pingtimestr:~0,4%"=="time" (
set /a pingtime=%pingtimestr:~5,-2%
)
if %pingtime% GTR %limit% (
echo [%time%] %var%>>badpings.log
echo [%time%] %var%)
timeout /t 1 /nobreak >nul
Goto Loop
:End
It works on Windows 10. I haven't tested it on other OS versions.
