   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.

   👎 Cons:    Not actively maintained

• 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: 12 months 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

• A simple server uptime monitor util

  It's for people who owns a log of servers/computers at home and need to monitor its uptime.
