   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.

• The entire game is laggy

  I like to use a site like https://packetlosstest.com/ to see if its my connection or the game. I set it to 20 or 30 seconds though. Source: 5 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: 11 months 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: 11 months 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
