  HOST      IP_ADDRESS        STATUS_PING
  xxxx      192.10.15.74      KO
  yyyy      192.11.47.36      OK

As Ansif told, please download https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/507/

To install apps and add-ons directly into Splunk Enterprise
Put the downloaded file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps directory.
Untar and ungzip your app or add-on, using a tool like tar -xvf (on *nix) or WinZip (on Windows).
Restart Splunk.

then ping the IP and include the result to dashboard

How I can run as root the Splunk Instance?
I already install the app pingstatus on another splunk and I can't run the app.
