here the code of my pings
import os
import socket
import csv
iplist = []
#loop from 1 to 255
# Appends the concatenated ip to the ip_list
for ip in range(1,256):
iplist.append("192.168.1."
#show me the list of ip address in the list
print("*********ADBY IT AND MEDIA SOLUTIONS NETWORK SCAN*********")
# Loop to ping ip_list and check if device up or down
# Outputs to results.txt file
print("Starting ping test")
for ip in iplist:
response = os.popen(f"ping {ip} -n 1").read()
if "Received = 4" and "Approximate" in response:
try:
hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
print(" {}ONLINE".format( hostname))
except socket.error:
hostname = "No HOST NAME "
print(" {}{} ONLINE".format( hostname,ip))
#print({hostname} + "The System is online")

thats great mate and i am just testing it but i would like to package this and at the end i will be adding a webgui so for all my sites i can see waht is online is there a way to add it to the code
If you want monitoring you may want more and other information. Icinga / Nagios and the like are more useful.
here is adapted code:
Note that this code has issues like nework ranges and is only applicable for a small network and may need adjustments for different networks.

import os

iplist = []
with open('result.txt', 'w') as f:
#loop from 1 to 254
# Appends the concatenated ip to the ip_list
# Outputs to results.txt file
for ip in range(1,255):
iplist.append("192.168.1." + str(ip))
#show me the list of ip address in the list
print("*********ADBY IT AND MEDIA SOLUTIONS NETWORK SCAN*********")

print('"{}",{},"ONLINE"'.format( hostname,ip), file=f)
except socket.error:
hostname = "No HOST NAME "
print('"{}",{},"ONLINE"'.format( hostname,ip), file=f)
#print({hostname} + "The System is online")
else:
print(f'"",{},"OFFLINE"'.format(ip), file=f)

Change:
hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
into:
(hostname, aliases, ipaddrs) = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
And it should clear up.
hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
into:
(hostname, aliases, ipaddrs) = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)

try:
hostname = ""
aliases = ""
ipaddrs = ""
int: (hostname, aliases, ipaddrs) = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
#hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
print(hostname)
print('"{}",{},"ONLINE"'.f
hostname = ""
aliases = ""
ipaddrs = ""
int: (hostname, aliases, ipaddrs) = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
#hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(ip)
print(hostname)
print('"{}",{},"ONLINE"'.f
int: does NOT belong there...
one line should be changed into ONE other line
int: was a typo from into: (belonging to the word Change:...
(you didn;tinclude change: in the code, so why the int:?

i am in silly bugger so sorry for wasting you time
no problem...
and to: print(",{},OFFLINE".format
and print a optional header row first: print('"host","ip","status
and running the program with: python myping.py >results.txt
will do.
