nnss / ping-mon

simple Flask + appscheduler application that monitors ping to a host

About the program

This is a simple ping monitoring app made in Flask (python) that uses pure python modules, so it would be used under windows and *nix where python runs, and as a docker image. It only keeps the last 24 hours, timeouts are shown as -50ms in the times. Besides the raw data, there is a simple graphic that shows the last 24 hours using hicharts.

The ping is done with ApScheduler to and is configured via /config URL. It can be 1 or more IPs and each one is showed at the home page.

This is intended to be really simple script, the main reason for this program was to monitor the internet of my home, and to understand why was slow (lost packages, bad wify, etc)

This is not to be a full monitoring tool, just an ICMP ping with a small history (24 hours).

Python modules dependencies are in the requirements file.
