Note

If your administrator has created a PingPlotter Cloud user account on your behalf, you may not see every menu option depending on your user profile permissions. If you cannot access a specific menu option or element, contact your administrator and request access.
 

Summaries are a way of grouping trace sessions together to better organize your workspace. For instance, you could create a summary for trace sessions coming out of the LA office and another for the Seattle office.

Your All Targets summary contains all of your active or paused trace sessions - think of it as your "master summary". It lists every target across every summary you have in PingPlotter Cloud.

  • To create a new summary, select the Summaries tab in the sidebar and choose + New Summary...
  • Start a trace session by choosing your Agent from the dropdown list, then enter your target IP, URL, or DNS name
  • To show a target on another summary, use the dropdown arrow in the trace row's Status cell and select Show on Summary → [summary name] 

Note

The Summary View has menu options available using a right-click, with the exception of the IP cells.
