For administrators

Ask one question across the systems that matter.

Sometimes you do not need another monitoring platform.

You need an answer.

Which PCs have less than 10 GB free? Which machines are missing this update? Did the Group Policy change actually take effect?

Or more simply: did the backup finish, and has something that should report regularly stopped doing so?

PingMyThing gives those answers one consistent place to land.

What administrators use PMT for

Temporary questions
Ask once across an estate, collect the answers, then remove the check.

Final job outcomes
Know whether unattended work produced the result it was meant to produce.

Results outside one management tool
Collect selected answers across mixed deployment or ownership boundaries.

ASK: temporary checks are first-class.

Suppose you need to know:

How much free disk space is available across 2,000 PCs?

Deploy a PowerShell check through Group Policy, RMM, Intune or another mechanism you already control.

As machines run the check, their answers appear in PMT. You can identify exceptions while coverage grows.

When the exercise is finished, remove the check. PMT does not require the question to become permanent monitoring.

Deployment happens where it already makes sense

PMT is not trying to replace Group Policy, Intune, RMM, configuration management or task scheduling.

Those tools already know how to get code onto the systems you manage.

Let them do that. PMT gives the answers somewhere consistent to land.

Three admin workflows

The same result path can answer a temporary question, keep an unattended outcome visible, or feed your own tools.

ASK

Ask one temporary distributed question.

Disk space, update state, connectivity, configuration verification or a post-change check.

Collect, filter, export, act — then remove the check.

WATCH

Keep the final result of unattended work visible.

A backup, scheduled task, export or sync can appear to run while the useful outcome has stopped.

Where reporting is expected, absence can matter too.

QUERY & EXPORT

Work with the same results outside the browser.

Administrators can query, filter, count, sort and export the same results through PowerShell, API or CSV.

deploy → collect → filter → export → act → remove

API & CLI access →

Know what answered — and what was expected.

If 1,742 machines answer, PMT knows that 1,742 answered.

It does not automatically know whether 2,000 were expected.

If completeness matters, compare PMT results with the authoritative inventory or expected source list held elsewhere.

PMT receives answers. It does not pretend to discover the denominator.

When your existing platform is the better answer

If every relevant system is already enrolled in Intune, PDQ, an RMM or another platform and that platform can deploy the question, identify every device, collect the result and remediate the problem, use it.

PMT becomes more interesting when the estate crosses management boundaries, the source is not a managed endpoint, or collection should remain independent of deployment.

Monitoring without another management agent →

Start with one question.

Ask something useful. Deploy the check through the tool you already use.

Let the answers arrive in PMT, filter the exceptions, then remove the check when you are done.
