Nagios?
thanks, i was looking at it and seems complicated but might give it a try. was only looking for a simple monitoring to ping an ip, then emails when it rto.
I'm personally using Nagios along with Centreon for ease of administration
If it's only for pinging, try Smokeping
To name a few ones:
Nagios / Observium / Smokeping
i.e. "monit" can do it. It is much simpler tool than nagios & co., but can do some basic checking of local/remote hosts, including ping-test:

+1 for SmokePing
+1 for SmokePing, too.
Comes right after Network WeatherMap in my personal list of most useful network status visualization tools. Keep it smart and simple.
For monitoring, graphing and alarming you may also have a look at Munin for generating RRDs.
Nagios / Icinga is also very common and efficient but only supports "red/green" monitoring out of the box, i.e. it won't record and graph the exakt RTT over time for later analysis. Of course you could define a warning if RTT goes above a certain level.
