⁠PacketPlotter

Generates charts for the Round Trip Time (RTT) and loss for packets over past minute, hour and three hours. Useful for tracking packet loss, and diagnosing network issues. Uses Python to gather ping data and parse data. SQLite is used to store ping data. Frontend uses ChartJS for graph creation. Flask/uWSGI for web server. Does 1 ping/sec.

Webpage:

Can be configured from the config.ini file (or through environmental variables)

Run With uWSGI (need to install uWSGI via PIP or other means):

uwsgi --http :8080 uwsgi.ini

Or just run directly via Python and use Flask's built in Development Server:

python wsgi.py

Both options will use config from config.ini (prioritizes environmental variables)
