Real-time network latency monitor with sleek web UI - diagnose router and network issues
npm install ping-a-ding-a-lingA real-time network latency monitor for diagnosing router problems, flaky connections, and other network gremlins. Useful for figuring out why your video calls drop or your games lag.
The app continuously pings a target (your router, a DNS server, whatever) and visualizes latency, jitter, and packet loss in real-time. It detects anomalies using statistical analysis and logs deviations so you can spot patterns.
Node.js v18 or later.
``bash`
npx ping-a-ding-a-ling
This starts a local server and opens the UI in your browser. By default it runs on port 3001.
`bash`
npx ping-a-ding-a-ling --port=8080 # use a different port
npx ping-a-ding-a-ling --no-browser # don't auto-open browser
On Linux, auto-open requires xdg-utils. If it's not installed, use --no-browser and open http://localhost:3001 manually.
Session history and ping data are stored locally in a SQLite database:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/ping-a-ding-a-ling/
- Windows:
- Linux:
To remove all traces of the app including your session data, delete the data directory listed above. If you installed globally, also run:
`bash``
npm uninstall -g ping-a-ding-a-ling
