Gping
gping is a terminal-based network latency grapher and performance monitor. It functions as a cross-platform ping client that visualizes ICMP response times as real-time line graphs directly within the command line.
The tool distinguishes itself by operating as a command execution time plotter, allowing the duration of any shell command to be graphed over time to analyze performance fluctuations. It supports multi-host latency plotting and provides shorthand identifiers for monitoring connectivity across different cloud infrastructure regions.
The utility covers network diagnostics and observability, including real-time network monitoring and cross-platform latency tracking across different operating systems.
Features
