This repo is forked from the official repo, but contains a hacked version of ping that I tweaked for use in my Splunk Network Health Check.
docker build -t iputils . && docker run -it -v $(pwd):/mnt iputils
# cd /mnt/
# make && /mnt/ping google.com
Note the following additions:
- The target hostname/IP is included in the output.
- Every 10 pings transmitted, stats for the last 10 pings are written.
- ...this also means that latency followed by recovery could cause received values of higher than 10. Please plan for this!
The iputils package is set of small useful utilities for Linux networking.
These tools are included in iputils
- arping
- clockdiff
- ipg
- ping
- rarpd
- rdisc
- tftpd
- tracepath
- traceroute6
If you still use old version, please consider moving forward to new releases placed here.
This version also fully supports glibc, uClibc and musl-libc.
