create a colon separated list of IP addresses you need to ping & then do
something like:

#!/bin/bash
INLINE=listing.csv
   n=1           # server number

    for name in $(awk 'BEGIN{FS=":"}{print $1}' < "$INLINE" )
   
   do
     ping -c 1 -w 1 "$name"
     let "n += 1"
   done


   exit 0


redirect the output to  a file if you need it to save for later perusal
