  • pingwatch

    Simple monitoring tool for your Internet connection, pings hosts and reports on availability and trends

  • I wrote my own simple tool, Pingwatch.

  • irtt

    Isochronous Round-Trip Tester

  • most of the solutions mentioned here are for low pps monitoring. personally i use https://github.com/heistp/irtt to simulate a voice call (where jitter matters the most) to a server where i can control the network. i use a custom tool to parse the output and insert it into influxdb for graphing/alerting.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • smokeping_prober

    Prometheus style smokeping

  • I wrote my own variation of smokeping. It currently only does ICMP and UDP probing, but I've thought about adding things like TCP, HTTP, DNS, etc.
