Pingline - a less cool version of gping
This is just a package for me to practice working with PyPi. You should probably use gping instead. It doesn't require a heavy matplotlib dependency.
This is helpful for debugging ping problems with your WiFi:
- Try starting the interactive plotter and launching fast.com - see the impact of heavy traffic on your ping
- Check if the router ping is as bad as internet ping. If so, the problem is with your router, else it's probably your ISP
pip install pingline
Launch the recorder - it's pinging our hosts and dumping the ping time-series into a log file, by default ping_log.csv. This CSV plays nicely with Excel, if you want to explore the data manually.
pingline recorder --interval=0 --router-host=192.168.0.1 --internet-host=google.com
Launch the interactive plotter - it watches the log file and shows a live graph of ping data.
pingline plotter --interactive --last-n-minutes=5
