- walrus01 2y agofping is most commonly seen as the backend tool under the classic (24 years old now, and still maintained) smokeping https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=smokeping+fping https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=smokeping...
- DrPhish 2y agoSmokeping is an amazing and underrated resource as a network health metric and diagnostics tool. If you have a network monitoring or asset system you can export IP addresses from, you should use a small glue script to automatically build a smokeping configuration. I've got one for our LAN and one for the WAN at each of our sites so I can track down issues at either level. The LAN connection charts are a great daily sanity check, and the WAN connections (I have every-to-every for each site so any and all inter-site issues can be seen) can help keep your ISP honest with the service they're delivering.
