Internet Uptime Monitor for Pi?

 

Is there a simple app to run that will display my internet connectivity status on screen? Something that pings a few sites periodically to return status would be nice, like https://netuptimemonitor.com but for a Pi rather than Windows.

I use ping and speedtest in node-red and display results on the node-red dashboard.

Hi Bret, this is pretty complicated if you don't do the step instructions,? by step but I’m running a OOKLA test every 15 minutes and those results are sent to a Grafana graph and then uploaded to my Google drive.

? It’s really worth it to see jitter, ping and up and down.

Ignore the areas of no data as the server was off for maintenance and also the flat spots....... the second image is of the last 6 months.

Virus-free.

 

Use conky for onscreen display and have it watch a text file that you make a bash script monitor for a ping return.?

If you have the "traceroute" package installed, just use the native tools in a terminal window:

while true; do traceroute google.com; echo; sleep 10; done

would not subing "ping" for traceroute work in that while statement - traceroute does generate a lot of traffic which is irrelivant to just see if the net is up...

the c flag sets the number of tries for each ping

Here are the steps to get it going:

  1. Make sure you have Ansible installed:
    1. (If pip3 is not installed) sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
    2. pip3 install ansible
  2. Download the internet-pi repository to your computer: git clone https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi.git && cd internet-pi
  3. Install the Ansible Galaxy content that's required to make the playbook work: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
  4. Make copies of the example.inventory.ini and example.config.yml files (dropping the example. from the filenames) and modify them for your own needs
  5. Run the playbook: ansible-playbook main.yml

I get down to Step 3 and get ERROR! The requirements file '/home/n4srn/.local/bin/requirements.yml' does not exist.

Did I miss something?

Something about the posted error doesn't look correct.? You should have been in the ~/internet-pi directory when you got to step 3.? The requirements.yml file should be in that directory.

It's possible that the actual error message said that it couldn't find ansible-playbook?? Confirm that ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH.? That where the ansible scripts get installed by pip3.
