I’ll consider myself one lucky SOB with major first world problems in that I currently have in my home two fiber providers and must choose to keep only one. One is AT&T, the other a much smaller municipal broadband style company.
I want to compare latency between the two services. I noticed that when I swapped the connections, that the municipal fiber had considerably higher latency to the services I was already monitoring (ie 9ms vs 30ms to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, and google.com. Screenshot
I was wondering if there’s a simple tool anyone knows about to compare ping times to a wide range of common services? Currently I just have InfluxDB and a Telegraph script pinging the sites previously mentioned, with Grafana displaying the metrics. I could just manually add other services to this setup, but was wondering if anyone knows about a purpose built tool for this with a big list of services built in? It would be awesome if I could just spin up a container that did all of this, and if something doesn’t exist like this already maybe I’ll just create it and base it on the same Influx+Telegraph+Grafana solution I’m using now.
