apint

apint - Use common network tools over an API and get results via json

apint returns the full output of Ping and MTR into json format with parameters.

This is something I created in my spare time to learn GO. The code is bad and I do no parameter validation. ** Do not use on open internet**

How to Install

Install MTR

apt-get install mtr

How to Use

Communication with apint is done via a web interface. This isn't RESTFUL its just what I decided to use.

Either a POST or GET request can be used to get the results. POST sends a json payload while GET uses the URL parameters

Parameters

action - [ping, mtr] - Either ping the host or run MTR against the host
host - The host to interact with
rc How many requests to send
callback - Used with jsonp

POST

curl -X POST -d '{"action": "ping", "host": "8.8.8.8", "rc": "3"}' http://localhost:8080

Format - Ping

{
	"action": "ping",
	"host": "8.8.8.8",
	"rc": "3"
}

Format - MTR

{
	"action": "mtr",
	"host": "8.8.8.8",
	"rc": "3"
}

GET

curl "localhost:8080?action=ping&host=8.8.8.8&rc=3"
