Ping monitoring program












0















I'm looking for a tool that I can use to monitor my ping time to a gaming server in real time. I've been getting lag spikes and want to watch where they are happening, how often, etc. I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux so any help is great. thank you

          You don't need a special application to do what you want.



          Just open a terminal window from the Unity launcher, then in that window, type ping followed by the name of the site you wish to monitor.



          Example: ping www.ebay.com



          Use a control-c to stop the pings.



          note: pings will not tell you where the problem is, just when the problem occurs.

            Try the mtr (or mtr-tiny) package, it contains the mtr command that continually displays in a terminal the routes and the latest ping times on each router:
