   Such a helpful tool

   Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.

   I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.

   👍 Pros:    Usability

   👎 Cons:    Not actively maintained

• Dirt Trails in Cape Cod?

  There’s trails all over cape cod that are unmarked or poorly marked. https://onthegomap.com is a good source. I don’t know where they pull the info from but the cape is covered in trails. Source: about 1 year ago

• Mapping out a route - as a non-paying member?

  On The Go Map is a nice simple, free option. Can export as GPX. https://onthegomap.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone know how the grade of 12th street in Moline?

  There’s a Strava segment. Onthegomap can get that info quick and dirty for other routes that you’d be interested in. OpenStreetMap and USGS surveys provide the data behind Strava and most of the routing engines. Source: about 1 year ago

• Improving My Fitbit Experience with Customizations/Settings/App Change/...

  Easy way to check distance ran/walked/hiked. The best option I've found is to look open app and look up miles total and start, open app and look up miles total and end, then subtract the differences. It The totals seem higher then I get at https://onthegomap.com/ , but not impossibly high. It would be better, if there was an option to click "start workout" or similar, then get stats for the workout when done. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone else using unifi to track the isp outages?

  I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 12 months ago

• N-Central, Connectivity Service and 15 minute minimums, oh my!

  Let me introduce you to a rather old, but still highly useful, tool for free. Takes a little leg work to get going, but pays off in style. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there any way to fix packet loss!?

  So I would run Smoke Ping (https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) for a while to get an idea of the loss. If it really is an external issue, you can try a VPN to hopefully pickup a different route. Source: about 1 year ago

• lightweight monitoring tool

  I personally like smokeping, https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ . Has lots of different probes so you can do more than just "ping if it is alive". Source: about 1 year ago

• Cox Monitoring -- something changed around 9:30 last night

  I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized. I set up an instance of SmokePing and have it monitoring a number of services, as... Source: about 1 year ago
