conf/config-base.json

to change.

Source Compilation

<code># Linux
./control build
# Windows
control.cmd build</code>

Running the Program

<code># Linux
./control start
# Windows
control.cmd start</code>

Decentralized Data Example

SmartPing stores configuration data on each peer node while measurement data is kept only for the target node, enabling a consistent front‑end view across distributed nodes.

Conclusion

SmartPing offers a powerful yet simple solution for operations teams to quickly locate and resolve network issues, making it a valuable addition to any network operations toolkit.
