How can I perform a ping every x minutes and time stamp in the log?

Question

I found an answer for creating a batch file for continuous pinging:

But, I need to include a time and date stamp in the output log.

Would someone help me complete the batch file, please?

@ECHO OFF
set IPADDRESS=x.x.x.x
set INTERVAL=60
:PINGINTERVAL
ping %IPADDRESS% -n 1 >> filename.txt
timeout %INTERVAL%
GOTO PINGINTERVAL

To set up a log file and provide a time stamp Need to set a log variable

First up set up log variable and {Setlocal keeps the set command from being permanent }

To send something to the log use >>%LOG%

to send a time or date stamp use the /T switch to get the bare time output
