Looking for a ping plotting tool for *nix
Hey folks. I'm searching for a tool that will continuously (once per second or .5 second) ping every hop on a specified path (or ping a list of hosts) and somehow plot/graph/track packet loss and latency/jitter. Looking for something that can run as a service on Unix, and can do some easy reporting in a tabular or graph form. Thanks for the input. - Dani

Without 1) starting a flame war or 2) insinuating that you would engage in bad behavior, all hops are within your network, right? Consistent pinging across others' networks is generally frowned upon. (And, no, I can't recall the RFC off the top of my head, nor whether it said "MUST NOT" or "SHOULD NOT" -- I believe the former.)

Yep, all on my network and a couple hops up my ISP's egress, so I'm paying for it. Gotta keep an eye on the isp's backbone and mpls tunnel availability - '5 nines' is great, but I need to know when that .001 of failure is happening. And regarding the pingplotter post - that is for Windows only, would be nice to have a daemonized version for unix that is a bit more tame (IMHO pingplotter works at a bit of a high packet rate to be run for more than a couple minutes at a time). Thanks for the suggestions! - Dani
mtrwill repetitively ping every hop on the path, but you'll likely have to do some work if you want it to be totally auto..

D'oh! How could I forget: rrdtool.org You'll need to do a bit of work, but it'll provide the graphing ability. The site links to several examples of what one can do; there might even be something available that's close to what you need.
