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.

Conda is also another solution which can be... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
