Ping based tool

I can't seem to find a good tool to do this. We used to use Solarwinds Netpath, but we've moved completely away from Solarwinds as the return on investment wasn't worth it.

We have approximately 10 sites. These sites have Cisco switches on site mainly.

I'm looking for a tool that can run on a single linux host, that will login multiple switches and then run pings from them. It needs to then be able to monitor packet loss and run actions based on the output. Also would be nice to have a web interface for monitoring (that builds pretty graphs or whatever).

For example, login to office5-switch1 and ping 8.8.8.8. If ping has more than 30% packetloss, run /usr/bin/notify.py.
