How SmartPing Transforms Network Quality Monitoring with Decentralized Data

About SmartPing

SmartPing is an integrated network quality (Ping) detection tool that aggregates data from multiple nodes to monitor latency, packet loss, and provide visualized dashboards.

Key Features

Forward and reverse Ping with graphing.

Topology of inter‑node Ping status, customizable latency/loss thresholds with sound and email alerts, and MTR checks on alarm.

National latency map showing separate lines for China Telecom, Unicom, and Mobile.

Detection utilities for each SmartPing node.

Installation Guide

Clone the repository and run the control script.

git clone https://github.com/gy-games/smartping.git
cd smartping
./control start   # Linux
control.cmd start # Windows

The default web server runs on port 8899; modify conf/config.json or conf/config-base.json to change.

Source Compilation

# Linux
./control build
# Windows
control.cmd build

Running the Program

# Linux
./control start
# Windows
control.cmd start

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.
